[Albion] Flasks banned from the Amex

[Springal]

Did I hear that we are considering the banning of all waterproof clothing being taken into the ground? However, if we want to buy any waterproofs they will be available in the club shop, and will be placed in a sealed clear bag so that turnstile security can verify that we have bought security approved waterproofs from the approved outlet.

Can't put a price on safety.

To be fair, anyone that goes to a football match in waterproof trousers probably needs their laptop / computers checking anyway

I'm pretty sure that the ban on celery backfired. Other vegetables were smuggled into the North Stand lol!

Back in the day, so many things were being banned from football grounds that somebody came up with the idea of taking the most limp & inoffensive vegetable and throwing it around. The only response from 'the authorities' was to ban it and people were searched for celery!


I had really hoped the times of treating those people attending football matches differently to those same people attending other events had gone & that Albion were at the forefront of this. In all my years I've yet to see a flask, or celery, related incident.

I fear it is only a matter of time before a chemical attack at a well attended sporting event.

Who from? The Russians? They tend to go after their own.
ISIS chemicals are not their style.

Didn't you ever go to Withdean? Waterproof trousers were required apparel there.

ISIS do use chemical weapons (or are at least believed to be developing them) - there was a lot reported about it last year....and whilst they might be the biggest threat by some distance, I guess they're not the only one..............

Who’s gonna waste a perfectly good flask by putting chemical weapons in it? The Albion have been putting them in cardboard tea cups for years now.

The South Stand at Withdean was a sea of 4,000 sets of waterproofs.

So that's where Saddam's missing chemical weapons went.

Wouldn’t be surprised

And the old chicken run - used to get the full force of the westerly driven rain there.

Pre-Gortex, it was old fashioned oil skins, or nylon cagoules for the oiks.

Sounds like you've never had a 2 hour journey home in soaking wet jeans. Do that once, and waterproof trousers suddenly look appealing. I've had a pair since Withdean days, although I don't especially need them sat in the West Stand Upper.

However, it's news to me that we can bring computers / laptops in, that does seem a bold move when I'm not allowed a plastic hot drinks container.

Insinuating what?

 

[TSB]

I doubt Swindon receive too many threats because of a players lack of game time.

Some of our new middle eastern brothers are somewhat vociferous when discussing Ali's game time.

Even on a really stupid thread, that still stands out as a really stupid thing to write.

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

Is FlaskGate still going?

 

[Stat Brother]

Apologies for for being wrong I was sure idle social media threats were made towards the club due to Ali not waltzing straight into the starting XI.

I must have got the wrong end of the wrong stick.

Again sorry for being wrong.

All right. Who sneaked their lucky flask in?
