The red flare, which was lit in the wooden-floored East Stand during the second half of Town's goalless draw at Leyton Orient, was subsequently thrown in the direction of a segregation area and set netting alight, causing stewards to put the fire out.[LNB]Leyton Orient chief executive Matt Porter described the incident as "the most stupid single act I have ever seen inside Brisbane Road".[LNB]Robins manager Danny Wilson was equally damning, saying: "It was absolute stupidity. Our fans are brilliant, but whichever individual brought that in should be locked up."[LNB]Now chief executive Nick Watkins has added the board's voice to those of disapproval. He told Swindon's official website: "The behaviour can best be described as reckless and dangerous, where lives could have been potentially put at risk.[LNB]"It is a very great pity that the actions of a few can spoil things for so many and subsequent to the completion of the police enquiry, the club will take its own action."[LNB][LNB]
