Implementation of safety measures is done on a basis of reasonable practicability. Banning coins is not reasonably practicable for obvious reasons.

It absolutely is. In fact, it’s easier in practice than taking off all the bottle tops. Have you not heard of contactless and card payments?

The issue isn’t practicability or health and safety. The issue is financial. Which makes their decision on bottle tops hypocritical.

Of course it's financial, it's always financial, the bottom line is 'FOLLOW THE MONEY'.

Take any situation, dress it up in health and safety clothes, then follow the money.

Quite why Brighton fans think they should be treated like a special case is a little baffling.

As RotRev (I think) said earlier if you want to take a flask into the AMEX absolutely everything in football needs to change only after the entire geopolitical map of the world falls into line.

Additional revenue from finishing one place higher in the Premier League = £1,931,268
Profit made on a cup of tea = 80p

Paul Barber only needs to rinse the fans by selling an extra 2.4 million cuppas this season for this clear (to some) cash generating decision to become more important than finishing 15th this season compared to 16th last season.

But what if we finish 15th AND sell 2.4 million cups of coffee.

It is obviously a personal view but seems to be shared by many on here that the tone is often overly corporate and dictatorial. My preferred tone would involve much more emphasis on the friendly relationship and mutual appreciation between 99.5% of fans and the club.

This is where I like to do the maths:

Estimate of flaskers at the Amex: 5% or 1500 (and I’m being very generous)
Home games per season: 25 max
Cuppas sold to make £2.4m: 2,400,000 / 0.8 = 3,000,000

That means each person that previously took a flask would have to buy 80 teas/coffees per game - and that’s from concourse kiosks that are already operating at capacity - to make an equivalent profit. When you think that the club voluntarily spends around 4-5m each year on AITC and other loss makers, such as the women’s team, you’d have to be financially illiterate to think that this was a commercial decision.

Dump the ladies team and get them distributing free teas to fans who don't want to leave their seats. The natural order returns.
