This is an excellent post IMO. And if the club are going to stiff us with having to buy their crap coffee, then they should contract out the coffee making to a proper coffee house. I'd rather pay £1 extra over high street price for a Costa latte out of a machine (as you might at an airport) than buy their absolute shite.

Here is my Premier League flask round up. I've left out Spurs and the smaller clubs.
West Ham - Specifically permitted
https://www.london-stadium.com/plan-your-visit/safety-and-security
Man United, Arsenal, Man City - Specifically banned

https://www.arsenal.com/sites/defau...1484321337_Emirates_Stadium_Prohibited_It.pdf
City appear to ban all food and drink completely.
https://mediacdn.mancity.com/-/medi...sale/1718-visiting-supporter-guide.ashx?la=en
Newcastle, Huddersfield - Possibly banned.
Newcastle don't allow "large amounts of food", Huddersfield banned them from a recent pop concert and rugby but can't find reference to football.
Watford - Discouraged.
Flasks "discouraged" and contents checked on entry.
https://www.watfordfc.com/sites/default/files/2018-08/Visiting Vicarage Road - Away Fans.pdf
Bournemouth, Southampton, Cardiff, Fulham, Everton, Chelsea, Liverpool - Unclear.
Generic league advice "portable container and which could cause damage or personal injury or simply banning bottles" or just banning "bottles". No specific mention of flasks.
Outside of the league I did find Blackburn have a no bottle policy but specifically allow flasks.

Slightly different event/venue risk profile.......not comparing like with like.
Things must be pretty bloody brilliant for us at the moment if a simple banning of flasks can generate this much nonsense [emoji23][emoji23]
Blimey, is this still going? Must catch up with the additional 18 pages over a nice cuppa......

Well we had such a lovely weekend celebrating a fantastic win that somewhere, some how, some what, someone had to come up with something that was the complete opposite of feeling euphoric - let’s go down the flask route. My God, we can really grumble about that one. Are some of you that desperate for a moan that you’re going down the vacuum sealed Bovril route. After all the struggles the club, the fans, the team have gone through in the last 20 years we now have 58 pages of f***ing Flaskgate. It really beggars belief.

Is it PotG?

Just another thing to moan about.
If they say you can't take it in due to security, you can't take it in.
Or don't go.

Someone did NOT 'come up' with this. This was a genuine question which has been vindicated by the number of people also wanting clarification and who wanted to express a view. Or is that not allowed on a forum? If you think for one moment that not allowing flasks into the Amex in any way affects your or anyone else's feeling about the wonderful win on Sunday then I am truly sorry for you. There are dozens of new threads every day and some strike a chord and some don't. Of course some posts are reactive, some unreasonable and some downright foolish. But many posts are either humourous or have a serious point to make. Perhaps you should avoid this thread if you don't value it or if your perception of a football result is impacted so greatly?
