Sneaking the odd hip flask in is one thing bit back in the Withdean days, I seem to recall @Herr Tubthumper getting a bottle of champagne into the ground to celebrate one of the promotions.
We also managed a large birthday cake and a knife to cut it with at one game!

You mean being treated like a valued customer as opposed to being treated like an incipient criminal? Well that's just crazy talk

Category 2 offence, which carries a 5 match home ban for the first offence, plus possible loyalty points deduction.
A costly error if a genuine oversight.

Ha ha yes, that was one of the back-2-backs.
Nope, like I said I saw it all. He walked out to the seats with a pint glass in his hand. No sneaking or smuggling and just didn’t know the rules.

Seen it multiple times with football tourists in the North. They are just completely oblivious to their misdemeanor. Never crosses their minds that they're doing something wrong. Down to the stewards to gently steer them back on to the concourse
Back in the Championship days (a decent win v Bolton) my friends and I took another friend who’d never been to a game before to the Amex. We had been enjoying the refreshments (leathered) and didn’t notice he’d taken his drink into the stand. After two minutes we all stood for an Albion chance, he took a big sip of his drink, and had three security guards onto him in a flash. We didn’t see again until after match. Apparently the security guards said he was the politest person they’d ever thrown out. Harsh.
Less of the dickhead. It was cider not beer.
I contacted the club to move seats as the fella next to me spent the entire game talking about the Simpsons.
The one and only time I used the machine in West Upper a load of flies flew out when it poured my pint.
Ah-ha! I had never been able to work out the "thinking" behind the flask ban. Now I know
I look forward to you explaining how you managed to get bottle tops banned.

Similar to the Wolves fan in front of me I mentioned before.
Stewards were just going to take his pint off him but the verbal abuse he gave back meant he was taken out.

What we don't know however was what sort of **** the drinker called the steward
(A red-nosed one is my guess).

It is probably easier for the club to have a zero tolerance policy - it is an actual law, like all laws it isn’t a defence to not know it exists.
Started to get abusive when they said he could go back.
How did he manage to smuggle the lid in?
