[Albion] Flasks banned from the Amex

[Green Cross Code Man]

Many if you understand a flask to be a metal container that be adapted into something quite different.

That's why they are being banned, nothing to do with the dangers of a thermos.

So then why the answer from the club that a plastic alternative would also not be tolerated.

Because its easier to enforce a blanket ban rather than having to check what the flask is made of at the turnstile.

Just to be clear to our older posters I am not advocating a ban on blankets as well.

You may be right but I can't see it taking any longer than it does now to be honest. A cursory glance should ascertain whether something is plastic or metal. The stewards have to look in bags in any case.

Haha, I confess I am not up with modern flask technology, I never expected to be either.

BG on the button as always.

How many people take a flask to the game, probably no more than 50.

Multiply that by one cuppa at £2.20, of which profit is say £1.50.

Multiply that by 19 home matches = £1,425 a season, which for a business turning over £135,000,000 a year is significant.

Deduct the food and drink no longer purchased by others who can no longer be served due time running out at the full capacity kiosks...

Cheers Paul,

I think that we just have to accept that this is just another example of the clubs terrible PR as they have grown in status.

You do what you like, you're not speaking for me.

I have a 10inch hunting knife which I have hollowed out the handle and can fill this with bovril or any hot beverage of my choosing, this negates any need to take in a flask. Simples

Do you carry sandwiches and cakes in your rear?

No - he just carries his opinions to be posted on here.

What about chip forks?

 

[RandyWanger]

You can get ski poles (for those inclined to face forward) that can be filled with booze. Wonder if anyone makes out hollowed out walking sticks that you can sip from

Wasn't an H&S officer - it's an ICC and ECB ruling. Lord's was exempted

How recently? I took food into Edgbaston.

 

[pearl]

Any news on cake tins?

Stop making me laugh

This thread is beating the Bellcheese one atm

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Hot water bottles ?

Food is OK - rule is around alcohol......

 

[Icy Gull]

Are hip flasks a no no too? Thinking about it they are probably even more frowned on than a biddy flask.
