[Albion] Flasks banned from the Amex

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

I think that a lot of pensioners probably bring flasks because their pensions don’t stretch to concourse prices. Maybe those with OAP tickets should be given a sizeable discount on hot drinks? Would be a nice gesture by the club.

That’d be good. I’d just get my dad to get the half time drinks in every home game and save myself a few quid.

I feel bad for adding anything to this nad-numbingly dull issue but imagine if the club turned it into good pr by reducing their hilarious prices and putting enough staff on to cope with half-time demand...

You have to admit that this thread has gone on a bit though - 63 pages on a decision about hot soup and tea that’ll probably affect no more than a couple of hundred fans. It’ll be threatening the Calleri thread if people don’t find something else to moan about soon.

I would bet my left bollock that there are WAY more people who bring a flask to a game, particularly in colder weather.

Still doesn't allow for those ordering about twenty things, one by one, then once asked for the payment proceed to dig in their pockets/bag for means of paying. Usually in pennies.

With their mates sidling up and adding drinks too

That, and the fact that the tea/coffee at the ground is not particularly pleasant, is a big problem for those of us wanting a hot drink. There is no way I will miss any of the game for a cuppa, however much I enjoy a cuppa at half-time.

It may be mind-numbingly dull, but yours was a good contribution sir!

Ridiculous @ whoever thought up this latest how can we screw football fans for another couple of quid , pat yourself on the back for a job well done .

Or the ones that get to the front of the queue and then wave their mates in, who haven't been queuing, to add their order.

Disappointing response.

Thought you were better than that, I also think it’s very poor, and why the rationale is fairly sound it has been handled extremely poorly.

Didn't realise I was being judged........anyway, it was a deliberate reaction to the vitriol expressed in the post I quoted (not yours). Agree it doesn't appear to have been handled as well as it could have been, but 'spiteful', 'despicable' and 'inexcuseable' are way OTT in my view.

'Disappointing' or 'poor' I'd agree with...........but 'despicable' though Seriously ? It's been jumped on by those always looking for anything to be 'utterly outraged' (rather than 'a bit disappointed') about - 700 posts on here is proof of that.

We need a chant for the Fulham game, something on these lines would suit 'Flask'.

We’re in our 8th season of the Amex and have been close to capacity in the home sections for most of it. I’m sure if there was anyway of serving more people their half time pies/pints in the 15 minutes available, then they’d have implemented them by now.

Barber gives no credible reason for banning flasks.

Hold your hands up Brighton and Hove Albion and admit a flask is not dangerous or please tell us what you're scared of ? Or what we should be scared of ?Is there a credible threat that you are aware of ? If flasks are considered a safety and security threat then why arent they banned from all live events nationally ?

Also how many flask related incidents have their been at the Amex ? None . How many alcohol related incidents have their been - 100's . So logically banning alcohol would be a more effective safety measure than banning flasks .

Isn't the solution to do random checks on peoples flasks ? And another thing the security checks are a joke anyway - done by amateurs and 99% pointless.

Barber's argument that other clubs are doing it so we should too is even more pathetic .

Maybe we need a flask song

They've been banned?

I'm surprised that hasn't been mentioned already.

OP gives no credible reason for starting another thread.

Was there a particular reason you chose the left over the right ? Is the right better able to cope with the cold ?
