Fair enough. However, if you’re going to keep on going on, then you have to accept that readers, such as me, will think that you’re a bit special if you can’t differentiate between the terrorist target risk of a 4th division match with a 6000 crowd, and that of a match in the world’s richest...

I’m actually buzzing after last night’s comeback. An away draw is a good result and the manner of it will give the boys plenty of confidence. However, a small part of me dies whenever I see this thread bounce back up, and I just wish the main protagonists would do something constructive with all...

Tell you what, rather than moan incessantly on your soap box on here, why don’t you do something useful and contact the head of security at the Amex, and maybe MI5 as well, and tell them what they’re doing wrong, seeing as you seem to think you’re better informed and know more about counter...

Yes it was, but many fans seem to be suffering from a mid 90s hangover in treating every decision made by the club with suspicion. And I agree with everything else you've written about the club doing as much as is reasonably practicable and within their powers - i.e. on entry to the stadium - to...

Sorry, I misconstrued your post before. I agree with you; it cannot be anything other than a measure taken on security advice and safety review.

They could also detonate a bomb vest at Brighton station or in the train as well, but I've never heard anyone complain about the body searches at the turnstiles that have been happening for 3 seasons now since the Paris attacks.

I agree with this, even more so now that they've reduced the price of a brew to £1.80 for everybody, not just a couple of hundred flaskers. So I can't see any other reason for the ban other than as a security measure. What's your theory?

You still think that the club is doing this for financial gain?

Yeh, but why pass up the chance of a good moan?

Hooray indeed for not feeling the need to complain and moan about everything!

I don't think anyone goes to the Amex with the intention of chucking a bottle at someone. It's a heat of the moment thing that they might do if a player/ref/lino winds them up and is something they probably regret the moment it leaves their hand.

Me neither.

We’re in our 8th season of the Amex and have been close to capacity in the home sections for most of it. I’m sure if there was anyway of serving more people their half time pies/pints in the 15 minutes available, then they’d have implemented them by now.

That’d be good. I’d just get my dad to get the half time drinks in every home game and save myself a few quid.

Do you have similar complaints about tight security at airports? As for the Manchester Arena, the security around exits has been altered signfiicantly to reduce the potential for someone to detonate a bomb in a densely occupied area. We have to accept that we live in a heightened state of...

You have to admit that this thread has gone on a bit though - 63 pages on a decision about hot soup and tea that’ll probably affect no more than a couple of hundred fans. It’ll be threatening the Calleri thread if people don’t find something else to moan about soon.

Or a dodgy crayon

I can’t comprehend how many people genuinely think that the reason for this is so that they might sell a hundred (literally) extra cups of tea 19 times a year. It’s like there’s a natural ingrained reaction to think that everything that the club does has a sinister motive. It’s not 1997...

If it was financial and they thought they could make a few extra quid, then it would have been implemented when the club were making losses right up to the FFP limits in the 4 years before we got promoted, not now that we’re making a modest profit. And if they wanted to improve that profit...

The decision to sell our ground to developers with no alternative in place did irk a bit, to be honest.
