Chelsea Fans and Celery ???

Can those in the know tell me why the government specifically warn against Chelsea fans taking celery to the match against AC Sparta :https://www.gov.uk/government/news/ac-sparta-prague-vs-chelsea-travel-advice" Body search and personal belongings check will be in place. Fans are NOT allowed to bring drinks, poles, flares, weapons and celery. "Is there something we should know before Brentford play them again ?

Exactly Keith - That is beyond stupid - why am I so surprised?

My God how puerile can some folks be? I don't think Difford and Tilbrook have anything to worry!

Google Chelsea celery song, all will become clear(ish)

Interesting...as their are not many words wot rhyme with celery I assume the song focusses on doing something unpleasant with said vegetable.

My Chelsea source replies as below!what happens is that.. they throw the celery, while singing a song...its rather rude, I'm too much of a Gentleman to send you the words !
