[Albion] Bottle Top BAN!

[Alba Badger]

This has got me rather pissed off I must say, 2x Alba Badger JR bring in water bottles and now we will be told they can’t take them in with bottle tops on? Totally f£%king stupid.

Does that mean the managers and payers can't have tops on their Bottles after the Arsenal Manager booted one into the crowd? What a joke.

Thought this has been the case for years.

This hooligan element must be stopped before it ruins the modern game!

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

To be fair the average (non-Arsenal) EPL Manager is unlikely to luzz a bottle of water on the pitch, whereas SOME fans would and you can't police for thos e that might and those that might not, been the rule for years!

 

[Birdie Boy]

If you happen to take in a bottle of water with the top concealed and the bottle is the same make as the ones they sell, how will they know if you bought it there or not?

This is getting behind a joke now, it is all in the name of terror but all about making money.

Btw, I do not take bottles of anything to the game.

Edit: just seen they will remove tops from bottles sold in the other thread.

They were doing this at England games 20 years ago

I don't think it's about them taking the bottle tops off as such. Many people (because they are adults and are able to be trusted with such things) have taken their own bottle tops with them so they can leave the bottles safely under their seat without worrying about them being knocked over or saving some for later. Now this heinous crime can result in ejection and losing your season ticket. Seems totally proportionate!

I was allowed to take 3 500ml bottles of water (for 2 sprogs and me) through the turnstiles in East lower at the Everton match - the security guy checked my bag and definitely saw them (lying down, so clearly capped.

I suspect there are more coins thrown at players/opposing fans than there are bottles of water and the coins are likely to do more damage. Are they going to ban people taking money in?

No, you will be allowed to take money in, but only onto the concourse. No money will be allowed to be taken to your seat, so as long as you spend it on the concourse you are fine, but if you haven't spent all your money before moving towards your seat, you will have to leave it on the concourse, where I'm sure it will still be at half time or full time.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

Surely luzzing a full bottle of water (or piss, if that's your thing) will result in not only the player getting clumped with a bottle, he'll also get covered in what's in it (should you luzz it at him)....

So what about a sharp and pointy "Jumbo Toblerone" then? Weighty, pointed on all corners, and could do a fair bit of damage if it hit you in the boat race.

This is getting daft....

That article the club released = embarrassing

Collection boxes for any loose change.

It would be interesting to find out just what their issue is with caps on bottles. Is it lobability, contents, etc.? It they explained their reasoning then at least we could try and understand it.

I travel down to Brighton by train. A six hour journey in the train all in for every home match. I always carry two bottles of water in the pouches of a small rucksack and have never had a problem getting in.
The only water I can buy is at Brighton station or the Amex. I literally have to leg it to get my connection at Brighton after the game, so I don’t have time to F*uck about buying more water.
Read this “announcement” earlier and I was going to start a thread, but waited til I calmed down to post.
My first thought was - oh well I’ll just have to take the caps off before entry and put them back on once inside.
But “ we are aware of a small number of fans who continue to ignore stadium rules by bringing flasks into the stadium or by concealing bottle tops for use later”.
What the actual F*ck?
My loyalty is being severely tested with this Sh*t.
And relax

No - Toblerone are to be banned as well apparently - far too threatening and some serious damage could be done. Marsh mallows and crisps should be ok though.

Sure these are the rules, but think you will be fine on most occasions if you are sensible.

It's the potential to use it as a missile (lobability) that is the apparently the problem. All seems a bit ridiculous.

As a pie has been luzzed a player more recently than a bottle of drink why aren't pies banned
