It's annoying but it's not as if it's only Brighton. Most clubs I've been to have taken the bottle tops off, some even pour the contents of your bottle into a flimsy plastic cup..
2032. All stadiums in the UK require you to go in completely naked, with no bags, all body hair shaved off (in case you try to lob an eyelash or a handful of pubes), and crisps will be the only food served. Food offerings will be individual crisps (small ones, with any sharp corners filed down) only. Water shall be served at the kiosks, but in those tiny little paper sauce pots they have in McDonalds.
All fans must make no noise (so as not to annoy the players) but.... sign language 'jazz hands' are allowed if you do it slowly (so as not to startle the players).
I have not commented on this bottletop, flask thing before, but I do believe the club is going way over the top with these rules. Exactly how many problems have there been with people throwing bottles with tops on? Easy enough to quickly identify the culprit with CCTV and such. All the club is now doing is unnecessarily pissing people off. They really do need to review their policy on this. Incidentally I can happily last for a couple of hours without water so it isn't causing me any personal inconvenience whatever.
As a pie has been luzzed a player more recently than a bottle of drink why aren't pies banned

Thought this has been the case for years.
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!
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
A pie was thrown but I haven't seen any comment on banning pies.
Nope
It hasn't been the rule for years, no.
'My loyalty is being severely tested with this Sh*t.' Exactly how I feel.
Ridiculous isn't it? Supposedly the best years to be an Albion fan and the club has become so petty about flasks and a drink of water.

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....
