Problem is that there could be absolutely ANYTHING inside the container

You’re right of course, but I’m sure determined individuals could get anything past minimum wage workers having to frisk 30,000 people. Flasks are one of many.

The ban cannot be based on luzzing material - it would be cheaper to queue up in the ground and buy a tin of Coke / Pepsi / Lilt - if that were luzzed and were to hit someone on the head that would be quite a nasty blow, likely the equivalent of a flask.

No, it must be based on the uncertainty of content - well the easy way round that is to enforce the owner to take a swig - if it's petrol / novochock / etc then let 'em swig that.

Leaves all the innocent soup / tea / coffee supporters to continue unhindered.

#Whythefuss?

Can’t buy tins inside the ground ?

Thank you for your email.

To be clear, we will not be permitting any drinks to be brought in to the stadium - in flasks, bottles, cans, or other containers.

There will always be queues at HT in a football stadium. We have a 15 minute serving window and very limited space.

The catering staff will always work as hard as possible to serve as many people as they can - it’s how they make their money.

Service in a football stadium is only made faster by limiting the menu to very few items. However, this is not what our fans want.

We do serve tea and coffee outside the stadium in a dedicated specialised unit, and also on our concourses.

Again, like all football stadiums, we are limited by space to create specialist tea and coffee units inside the stadium itself.

Best wishes, Paul

We have supporters who bring flasks to our games ?

This has shocked me. They did that when I was a kid. I didn’t think such decadent behaviour still existed.

Boiled sweets are fine, especially mint humbugs.

Or there could be soup.

This is the problem with today...everyone fears the worst and every decision that is made is based on a worst case scenario!

This world is ****ed up!

Yeah, but the queue for frisking was long enough as it is on Sunday. I don’t want to be stuck behind Mr and Mrs Flask whilst they argue with the stewards because ‘they’ve always brought tea to football’, eventually struggle to open their vessel, show the contents, taste it in front of the stewards, carry on moaning etc and then put the lid back on whilst in the meantime the rest of us wait in line..........

......and when we do get inside the ground, they leave their bloody tartan tea-holders there for everyone to trip over, along with their bags, sandwich boxes and blankets.

My fault for being in WSL I guess.

Most sporting events i go to outside of football allows you to go up and simply get frisked if you dont have a bag, or if you do have a bag join the "i have a bag" queue, where the contents can be rummaged through on a table............cant be that hard.

bloke near me takes connect 4 in.???
im waiting for him to bring in escape from colditz
