Nah don't think so.......a relative handful of people buying a cup of tea or coffee, from kiosks that are already at/over capacity ? Revenue is completely insignificant.

I must admit that when The Amex first opened I used to take a bottle of coke in with some removed and replaced with brandy as I didnt and still dont like the beer on offer and stood after the game with my vrother who hada pint and waiteds for the crowds to go. Now I dont bother I just go straight home so no more Brandy and Coke. perhaps some years on I am one of those to be blamed.
I wonder if they would stop you taking the fish and chips bought outside of the shop into the ground.as hopefully it would be hot food.

For those worrying about their half time cuppa and the queues, if you buy it just before KO, it's usually cool enough to drink by half time.

Let us see how many smug answers there are on here when PB bans Vapers on the basis that some people are still smoking them in stands and toilets and there is a chance they may explode or contain other substances.
Of course you poor addicted people can go two hours without your fix.

In your opinion...my opinion is that it’s not about revenue at all

We can argue about whether a flask is a risk, but this isn't about revenue. The club probably aren't comfortable about putting fear into the fans either.
Some external agency / advisor has weighed up the risk and banned flasks. If you believe the risk (which I don't) it's perfectly consistent to ban a metal container which would cause an annoyance to check the contents on entry.
After the Boston bombing I'm surprised they are not universally banned at venues under the current climate. Banned from Wimbledon for the above reason.
Whether I agree with that is another matter.

I think that it is the thin end of the wedge next it will be all food and drink as it is available to be bought on the concourses.irrespective of the poor standard. As has been said many times if it is for security reasons why set a date of 1st September.not pre season.
Hope he does.....stinky ******s.

I think you are plucking things out of thin air and just increasing your post count although I have heard a rumour about rock cakes being banned
Good - will be nice not to have to clamber over flasks, rucksacks, carrier bags full of grub, sandwich boxes and the like to get to my seat.........
Probably ever-changing security advice, and to allow time to communicate the policy - already been stated elsewhere that they wanted to speak to people as they entered the ground with their weapons/flasks so they're clear for next time.

As has been said many times the risk is no greater now than pre Nantes game so why did they not say at the end of last season or during the summer when there were no games that with immediate affect flasks were to be banned etc. That would have been accepted by most people as being a genuine reason not as now.
How can you possibly know that ? Club will be in regular dialogue with police and other advisors on this and constantly reviewing things - advice (and policy) changes all the time.

Does it matter when...it’s been said now one home game into the season by stewards at the first match which most supporters would be at and again referring to your oringinal post imho I don’t think it’s about revenue

As has been said Wimbledon deemed it necessary so it would follow that football clubs would also.

Yes it does
Is the security risk greater now than pre Nantes games or more so Man Utd who are a world famous team playing here.so more publicity if that was the intention.
We don't know......maybe the club have received new advice SINCE the Nantes game.

Perhaps you should apply for the job as security advisor alongside your role as centre and left back expert
I imagine risk assessments are being made all the time

I suppose the test match selector role is part time ?
