Couldn’t get a decent photo because ….

[TangerineSeasider]

Me and my little lad were in a bit of a rush yesterday and didn’t get to the ground until later than planned.
Stupidly, I left his little backpack of sweets supplies in the car, so had to get him something inside the ground.

This stupid rule of having to remove the bottle tops off drinks bought inside the ground is freakin’ ludicrous.

I was carrying his fleece, scarf and hat ( he wouldn’t wear them as it wasn‘t cold going in ) , the tickets, my phone for the proof of Covid……on top of that he got a bag of Haribos, a packet of crisps and a bottle of Fanta.

Trying to juggle a full bottle of pop without a lid is bad enough with an armful of stuff, bumping into Bloomfield Bear and attempting to also take his photo with my boy without spilling the drink was almost impossible.

Whoever is responsible for implementing that rule needs to seriously rethink it.

It may well act as a potential missile during the game, but not from row W in the family stand FFS !

Happens at most concerts and events that I've been to including away football grounds they take the top of the bottles so nothing new to see here.

As to what part of the ground your in irrelevant.

Can you take in drink flasks, coffee etc, which obviously have screw on lids?

We’ve brought bottles of pop in before inside his bag on plenty of occasions and never been asked to remove a lid before going in.

But it’s obligatory it’s removed if bought inside the ground.

I saw older kids with tops on their bottles in the stand which they brought in from coat pockets etc.

I got stopped game before last with a bottle of water and had to take the top off yesterday I got in with one.

The irony being I'd like rather spend with the club but the service in the North isn't the best.

I’m just at a loss at the need to remove them in the first place?

If it is purely down to the fact that it could be a potential dangerous weapon in the hands of a hooligan being used as a missile , then surely all coins in pockets should be confiscated on entrance ?

The same people who stopped terracing at footie grounds - do you really look like a bottle thrower ?

These tops are fairly standard. Have another one about your person ready to put on once you are seated.

Next time I will. Just an annoyance when totally unprepared.
