[Travel] First they took our Thermos, then our bottle tops, now its cycle helmets

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

It'll be Berlin next, mark my words.

Yes. This is how Nazi Germany started.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Utterly ridiculous. Pathetic.

 

[ManOfSussex]

Yes. This is how Nazi Germany started.

First they came for the Thermos flasks, and I did not speak out—because I was not a flask user.

Then they came for the bottle tops, and I did not speak out— because I don't drink bottles at football

Then they came for the cycle helmets, and I did not speak out—because I was not a cyclist to the Amex.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

That would take my breath away.

At one away game, a zealous steward wanted to confiscate my eyedrops. I pointed out they were a prescripted medication. I had to argue to keep them. Fortunately another steward had a bit more common sense.

After Albions recent performances, if they were teardrops, I can understand the Barber Police trying confiscate them.
Emotions aren't allowed at the Amex

They confiscated my false leg, I was hopping mad to say the least...

Still one of the funniest moments at Withdean, where a drunken fan was being ejected from block H. He had fallen down in a heap on the steps, so several stewards grabbed a limb each, but the poor steward who grabbed the false leg, found himself holding the prosthetic limb, as the fan went down the block with the others.
The block was in hysterics.

Well, that's what happens when you collude with Nazis by being passively aggressive. You need to be more revolting.

At Saturday's game the steward inspected my tiny bottle of eyedrops closely and put my cycle helmet in the cupboard. At the end of the match I retrieved it from there on my own seemingly without anyone noticing. Nice one guys

You obviously look as dangerous as me!

Dunno what you lot are moaning about.

Coming out of the ESL on Saturday I had a fine selection of up-market flasks to chose from.

I also picked up a nice Thunderc**ts flask and sandwich box combo for myself.

They confiscated my false arms. But I was allowed in because I was arm less.

I lock my on the bike, i agree it's a bit improbable that a cyclist would want to throw their crash hat at someone but what about those pesky "intent on causing trouble at any costs" that most clubs have a few of ?
I've been told to not wear my hi viz cycling jacket in the ground as it could confuse people into thinking i'm a steward and i'm waiting for the day i get told to collect my shoes after the match as they have cleats on the bottom of them.

I know a lot of you wont be bothered about cyclists, but it now appears that cycle helmets may be on the banned list of items now.
I regularly take my helmet into the stadium, as others, in a small bag, but on the bag search on saturday, they took exception to my helmet and whisked me away to put it in a cupboard at reception. Apparently I could use it as a weapon ! Unbelievable, apart from being expensive and will be no use if damaged, its not exactly going to cause a huge injury. I thought the club encouraged cycling to matches!
What ever next?

Show the steward the details on acceptable/unacceptable items that is available on the club website (as below)



and ask the steward to indicate where cycle helmets are shown.

Alternatively send an email to PB asking when and why cycle helmets are now banned, and why this has not been communicated and the club site updated.

 

[Garage_Doors]

Could i have a brief description of your bike...exactly where u park it...colour etc.....just for research

Do people really steal cycle helmets?

 

[Garage_Doors]

They took my anti depressant tablets at the last game, hope it made them feel good about themselves.

 

[portslade seagull]

Maybe they need to double them up as urinals when/ if they build the outside toilet block

I could incriminate myself in answering that

Trouble is, some people will steal anything.

Exactly, Gardening vouchers hot on the Amex thieves list.

I wonder whether they’ll insist on no virus masks!!!!
