    I know it’s been in the ground regs for years but always seem to turn a blind eye I think it’s because they could be thrown on to pitch that’s why lids taken off drinks in ground

    As mentioned, they haven't been a allowed for a long time but there usually isn't much checking going on. Saw one fella putting away an empty bottle of whisky as he staggered out at the last home game. Served him a few pints in Redfearn's so he must like a drink.

    I'm guessing you just got unlucky 66. Barnsley fc are comparitively sensible thankfully and long may it continue. We take a metal flask in with boiling water in it to make a nice cuppa. Also a flapjack which if you listen to the Archers can be categorised as a dangerous weapon.

    Im the same - though yesterday was the first time I had actually taken a flask this season - cold drinks in previous games . I always take in a carrier bag with 2 Cushions a flask with either bovril of coffee and a pack of biscuits and have never had a problem. I am sure I could take a couple of cans but have never tried

    Well there you are. Having just coincidentally been discussing how your mum and my agent's mumwere nice well behaved ladies at college you and my agent were obviously brought up sensibly to take your own drinks and food and not to throw them at anyone. Long may that continue too.

    The steward had a bottle of pop in her pocket. Was she breaking the rules?

    Plastic bottles are OK surely?

    Cans and glass bottles, can see why they might be banned.

    Anything can be sneaked in to the ground if you wanted to throw an object at someone as we are never searched so banning a child from taking in a can of pop makes no sense. It's small things like this that wind me up as there is no need to take it from her lets just allow a steward to use a bit of common sense, that's not aimed at just BFC but life in general.

    Bit racist is it not? Why are Poles barred? Has it something to do with Brexit?

    As I side note I follow a guy on twitter called the secret barrister -( dont read him if you dont want to be depressed about the state of our legal system) one recurring theme is the security jobsworths on duty in the courts who appear to treat lawyers and barristers like football hooligans - Fridays classic was in Manchester (where it never rains) now they are not allowed to take in umbrellas in case they use them as a weapon. They also cant take cans bottles flasks etc. There were stories of plastic water bottles being confiscated in the height of the summer you couldnt make it up

    Whats the difference between a stick and a pole? My Dad this season has been taking a walking stick in with him - that could definitely be used as a weapon though as he is well into his 80's he is unlikely to - but he couldn't get to the game if he wasn't allowed it

    Rolled up brollys. The ones with the pointed tip. Could be seen as a bit of an offencive weapon.
    Where do you draw the line?

    We took a parsnip once. It was a very sharp one.

    My agent is a master at smuggling things in. Do not ask where. Even the complete groping she got at Man City failed to find her water bottle.

    It's little to do with safety, more to do with £££.

    We also have one of those roll up bottle things. I wonder what excuse jobsworths would come up with for banning those.?
