Smoking at the Amex

First of all, I do not smoke, never have. But I was just wondering what the club's rules are on smoking outside and inside the stadium?

The "no smoking" ban that came in a few years ago works well in most public buildings, but a football stadium does not have an enclosed roof, so are the rules different? Are we going to see clusters of smokers in the corner of the car park, or will they simply light up anywhere?

I am a smoker. You are allowed to smoke outside the stadium.
When I went up to the stadium I did notice fag butts all over the floor, and over the heritage stones, which looked horrible.
As a smoker I always put cigarette ends in the ash trays provided. However the club need to install more ash trays outside the ground or provide one large shelter where people can go for a quick smoke and ban it from the rest of the stadium.

If they banned it completely from the stadium including around the stadium, it would not bother me. It never bothered me at the withdean and it would not bother me here.

It would bother me. I live in the smoking capital of Europe.

When I went there last Wednesday to sort out my Gills tickets, I walked right round the outside and a lot of the builders were hanging around outside smoking.
Obviously no-one tells them they can't smoke around there.

I smoke, but I know there is no smoking in the ground, but there should be an area open for you to go out into whilst having a beer before and after the game.

My JCL alarm is going into overdrive @ the OP. If you couldn't smoke inside withdean, your hardly be allowed to at the Amex would you?
