[Football] West Ham man-bag policy

[Common as Mook]

Rucksack with a laptop when I went last year. Absolutely fine

That was Stones management policy rather than the stadium.

Man-baggers Banquet?

A4 sized bags were the rule for Wembley, so I guess you should be fine.

For Wembley I used one of these bags - packs down to nothing. I carried my stuff in it from home to the security point; emptied the stuff and the bag itself into my pockets and hands (and children's hands) to walk through the security cordon and the turnstiles; a suitable distance away, repacked the bag and kept it as a bag for the rest of the day, with no trouble.

The only problem is that they seem to only be available in New Zealand...

I'm hoping to freshen up at half-time.

I think a call to WHU would ellicit a much more sensible one.

“Hello, can I speak to Karren please?”

From my experience at West Ham, I can not see how this would be allowed. You could easily fit both teams in there and make away with hundreds of millions of talent.

Essex sack of crap, GC, would qualify here I reckon

 

[Questions]

I've not seen a match there yet - just other things (including paralympics). Most recently saw the Stones there, and the policy was a very strict A4 size (can't remember the depth of the permitted bag) and a lot of people were getting VERY angry at the security points as their bags were turned away. .

I can why people would get annoyed but complain and you get no satisfaction.

And anyway, you can't always get what you want...

You could always paint it black.

You’ll be fine HT

I took a flask in there last year which as you all know is just the stewards waving in Isis

Good point. “Seat cushions” are allowed so I can bring something to sit on.

delicate posterior....

Does anyone have experience of this and know if an A4 sized man bag will be allowed?

Yes.* No.**








*No. **Dunno. Hope that helps.

Soft and sensitive are the terms I’d use.

Have you got a pack of wet wipes in that man bag out of interest?

Of course not; you think I’m some sort of soft sad sack?

Their website is a bit vague and says bags are generally permitted but large bags are banned. It doesn’t give any guide to sizes though. It also adds a caveat that any bag can be banned at the discretion of the security staff.

Does anyone have experience of this and know if an A4 sized man bag will be allowed?

I heard leather tote bags were banned

I think my new leather back pack will be too big and fall foul of the Bag Police as well.
