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

[MattBackHome]

I'm going to continue leaving mine on the bike, If anyone is that desperate as to nick it then more power to them. Biking to and from the football is for me primarily about convenience, and if I had to carry my helmet around inside the stadium it would get right on my tits.

Looks like the club has worked out that car keys are more throwable than bicycle helmets. There won't be enough space in the unsecured cupboard for a few bike helmets with everyones car keys.

I don't have a car but there are still 11 keys on my key ring (plus a bottle opener). That's much more of an offensive weapon than a bottle top yet is deemed ok. It's all a bit strange

Do what I do and get an old cycle helmet to leave clipped round the handlebars. Having cycled to dozens of grounds, I consider Arsenal and Leicester the best for parking security. Arsenal have an area behind a guarded door and Leicester provide lockers with keys by the cycle ranks.

If the club is going to go down this route they need to start having locker or some sort of bag storage scheme, they do this at Old Trafford.

That said this is all getting a bit silly.

Might take a few noz balloons to the next game. Nought on the prohibited list and also have player approval.

Wouldn’t Good Old Sussex by the Sea sound great if everyone used one of your balloons

And then numb the pain of the following 90 minutes, what’s not to like?

Nitrous Oxide isn't Helium.

Oh, ok it was only a bit of fun

As an aside I have never worked out why people carry around so many keys. The most I ever carry is 2, car and front door, but usually only 1, front door.

Not criticising you Gwylan, just using your comment as an intro.

Clearly you're not the security-conscious type...

 

[Hamilton]

Just put the cycle helmet under your coat. The body search is possibly the worst body search in history. You could easily carry in all sorts of things and the people they employ at the gates would never find them.

Would sound even better - well, different anyway - if the balloons were filled with helium!

Edit: Apologies - post #89 beat me to it!

LOL, but still only 2 keys required

It's easily done: five house keys (including mailbox and windows); four rugby club keys; cricket club key and key to my bike lock. It's a good job I work from home and don't have an office key, the weight would be crippling

Sod that. Surely you should be splitting the "sport" keys from the house keys at least ?

My car key is quite bulky as its also the car lock doodah, so I only have the front and back door key on there with that, along with two ancient BHA shirt keyrings (Sandtex - 1994 ?). Then I have another separate keyring for when I'm not using the car, which is JUST the front door key. Can't stand having bulky shite in my pockets when I'm out.

I did have them split but when I forgot the rugby club keys, I had to hang around for someone with a spare set so I make sure they're with me now

I think we need a new thread, just on bunches of KEYS.

Knowing the rugby / cricket club, Im sure a swift swing with a size 9, or a shoulder barge in the right spot would get around the problem of carrying too many keys...
