Buy a bottle of pop, and the idiots take the top off before giving you it. The guy that sits 2 rows in front of us at oakwell takes a massive bag, with the biggest flask you've ever seen, every game. Every game at euro 2012 Croatia fans have thrown flairs, staggering how they get them in.
Have you not read the statistics about people being injured by flying bottle tops - it's incredible!!!
But if you take a flask you are unlikely to lob it.....taking the cap off is not, I don't think, so that you can't throw the top, it;s so that you can't fill the bottle up, put top on and the throw it. Or it might be so your pop goes flat and you have to buy another. Do what I do, buy a bottle on way to game for at least half the price they charge you and take that.
you can also smuggle in a bottle top - they are all the same size so it will fit then you can put the top back on Eastanders approach is flawed at away games as full bottles can be confiscated - never had a problem at oakwell though and in fact my Dad takes a flask of bovril when its cold and he has never had a problem
I think it's daft if anyone ever had a problem with taking in a flask, you're not exactly gonna lob a flask at someone are you - waste of a good flask! I always though that, why not just throw the bottle?
The bottle with no lid (thus no contents) won't be able to do damage from a distance. With a lid, it can be filled and so would have better weight behind it for throwing. Or that's how they explained it to me.
Ive seen a Liverpool fan throw a mobile phone at Rooney, if he'd had a flask he'd have thrown that instead, full pies have been thrown many a time, as have bottles, your not aloud beer in the stand but at Plymouth a few years ago as soon as the ref called it off a full bottle of Carlsberg went flying over my head towards plod, if some people get pissed off they'll throw whatever's in there hand at the time, i think thats why babys ant aloud in
