[Travel] Train disruption Tonight (Cup versus Liverpool)

[Vicar!]

Bough a man-bag especially for this rule. Contains meds, book, glasses and headphones. All yer need. Never had a problem with the stewards.

Do you take your small backpack into the stadium?

The few times I've cycled to games, my bag with lock in etc was a bit bigger than A4. I didn't want to have to try and 'negotiate' with the stewards on entering the ground, so I put the cable I used through one of the handles and secured it to my bike. Not that it was really secure and someone could easily have cut it free - but then why would they do that. That also meant I had to leave my lights in the bag which isn't ideal.

Yes. It is slightly bigger than the permitted A4 size, but it's essentially empty when the stewards check it, just a piece of fabric really folded up.

If ever they made something of it, I'd enter my stand by the other entrance. If that failed, just tie it to the bike, it's worth about one penny .

Lights ... I unclip and take mine into the ground. They're tiny, stewards relaxed. This will be especially true when the expensive front light arrives.

How easy is it to take bike pump and lights (the stuff that could get nicked) into the ground in a small bag. Don't really want to pay 7.50 to leave at the bag drop

Experienced Amex cyclists leave a load of stuff on their bikes eg helmets and say nothing is ever stolen. I asked.

You’re allowed an A4 sized bag. Drawstring bag or small backpack is fine

if anyone can recommend a drawstring bag A4 size that be much appreciated most seem to much bigger.

Thanks - that's good to know. Just get used to hearing about so much bike theft in Brighton you get a bit paranoid !

You can get a 10l mini rucksack from Decathlon that fits the size requirements. I’ve never had any issue taking it into the ground
