Stoke City fan banned...

[OSRGull]

Because security guards thought that his newspaper could be used as a weapon.


Ridiculous.

 

[strings]

Seriously??

Wouldn't it be great if 20,000+ fans turned up to their next home game carrying a newspaper!

 

[Hampden Park]

he could make a 'Millwall brick' with it

 

[Bognor Bystander]

or a 'pointy' origami bird ...

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Is this similar to the West Ham fan who was banned from Stoke the other day because he wanted to carry in a newspaper....

 

[Bognor Bystander]

hmm appears it was a Daily Mirror story about a 57 yr old West Ham supporter at Stoke - was told to bin it as it might be set fire to and endanger safety ... still if it was a Daily Mirror he was carrying he's had a lucky escape ...

 

[amexee]

I heard that at a certain ground a flacid penis is classified as a weapon

 

[Brovion]

he could make a 'Millwall brick' with it

Indeed. I was once hospitalised by a Millwall brick so I know how dangerous they can be.


(In the interests of clarity perhaps I should point out that I was the one making the brick and I tore the tendons in my wrist)

 

[Hampden Park]

he only took it so that he could look at the pictures, bless

Ridiculous.

Maybe, but they did used to be a "tool" back in the day. As did Bic pens.

If rolled-up and then bent in two, they make a usefull lump to whack someone with.

Maybe the person had some history?

Made me chuckle!

 

[dennis]

Perhaps he had a set of those nija fighting daily stars?

 

[vegster]

I'm with the steward, why else would a Stoke fan bring in a newspaper ?

 

[The Fifth Column]

Perhaps he had a set of those nija fighting daily stars?

or maybe he was armed with a pair of sunchucks?

 

[Aseros]

Probably more to the story than the media are letting on.

 

[drew]

Think it was reported on the radio that it could be set alight and used as a flare rather than a weapon. Still ludicrous unless they have previous video of the bloke lighting up his paper.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Are match day program's made of non flammable material? Or don't they sell th em at Stoke

 

[Barry Izbak]

Who needs a reason not to go there?

In one of our pub discussions the other day, the question was

"if you won free tickets and hospitality at a Premiership Club, which is the one club you would least likely bother to turn up?"

Stoke won by a mile from Wigan.

Stoke's a shtihole... I wanna go home

Anyone that has that communist rag on them should be locked up for life

I tore the tendons in my wrist recently. I'd been waiting for my girlfriend to go to the toilet for ages and just wenat a bit faster than normal before she came back.
