A Wigan man who tried to smuggle a flare into a Premier League football game at Crystal Palace has been jailed for six months.
Luke Dwyer, 29, of Sunnyside Road, Ashton, had previously stood before justices to plead guilty to the offence committed under the Sporting Events of 1985 at Selhurst Park, London, on January 23.
The hearing was told that the incendiary device was found on Dwyer as he tried to enter the stadium before Palace's 1-3 league defeat to Liverpool.
