Come off it - I don't believe you're that old! Cheers - am on it.

OK then, neither can I.

Where? Link?

I didn't introduce the topic to the thread - I was merely responding to a post that did, and a particularly silly response someone made to it. Now go and do your stereotyping on one of those other threads you have cited.

A mobile phone can also be used to remotely trigger an explosive device elsewhere in the ground. It can also be used to give the signal to set off co-ordinated knife - or other - attacks. It might even be Semtex, skilfully shaped and painted to look like a mobile phone. They should all be...

Yes, but the failure in one doesn't make the failure in the other any less deplorable.

Yes, that is the same reaction several council social services departments thought was appropriate. Worked well, didn't it (except for the vulnerable young girls who were f***ed against their will by many men, of course). Still, better than risk being called racist, eh?

....and isn't the interior lining glass anyway? Maybe not if it doesn't keep it hot.

No, still not convinced it's a viable risk. Yes, it would be possible to put explosives into a flask - it's possible to put them almost anywhere these days - they can be concealed in, or disguised as, say, fountain pens, or the heel of a shoe -and don't get me started on how much harm an...

It's a flask. A mug is someone who used to take a flask to a football match but now has to buy their hot drink from the caterers inside the ground...........................

A mobile phone was once used as a missile 17 years ago? My god, this could happen again, any time. Please, so we can feel safe at football matches again, have bins by the entrances to put all mobile phones in. It won't be much trouble sorting out which is yours after the...

The bean-counters have made a mistake here, This ban will cause an awful lot of bad feeling. I can see that PB and co. would lose face if they back down -and I can't see them having that - so what about a compromise? A lot of small restaurants that don't have a licence to sell alcohol let you...

They won't though, sadly. Just moan a bit and then put up with it.

It's a shame, but it's the way of the world that greed can get away with things like this. Back in the day (yeh, yeh I know!) something like this would have been met by 20,000 people turning up to the next match, all with flasks - basically saying to the bean-counters, 'What are you going to do...

The 'problem' being 46 years of something missing from the revenue stream!

Yep, sorry - forgot that one!

Looks like greed to me too. Perhaps we should have a poll tough. Which line will the club trot out? a). 'Improving the matchday experience', or b). elfin safety?

I can understand bottles (glass ones) not being allowed, but is there any precedent for people hurling flasks? No there isn't - people who take a flask anywhere expect to take it home with them to use again. The practice of banning food and drink to maximise sales of over-priced refreshments is...
