The bag policy does not stop after entering the stadium.

A4? That's smaller than a carrier from the supermarket. Who came up with this? Grumpy, Dopey, Frodo and the Umpa Lumpas? There isn't a girl in the country that owns a bag smaller than A4. Good luck with that.
So pissing inconvenient with kids. Thank you [MENTION=189]Wozza[/MENTION] for drawing my attention to it.

Does anyone know if a bag can be an A4 cuboid? Or even if that’s just the dimensions of one side.
I would argue that the end of my bag is A4, but it’s a metre long.
It specifies:
Thank you for your cooperation and your contribution to providing a safer environment and an improved event day experience.
Bag to be no larger than A4
Height 297mm (11.7 inches)
Width 210mm (8.27 inches)
Depth 210mm (8.27 inches)
It's not clear on how much leeway there is, if, for example, it is half as wide, can it be twice as deep? What about curved backpacks - is the height the top of the curve, or the lower end of the curve or is it an average of the two? What if it i 210mm high, 210mm deep and 297mm wide? You can get single strap backpacks that are almost triangular, how do they fit in?
Isn't it just? And it makes it worse that it is a national stadium, it is playing host to an event that people will be travelling to from all over the country (and back), necessitating all day things - packed lunches, different clothes (a rain mac or hats and scarves etc, to account for different weather along the journey), to restrict bags so severely seems overly extreme.

Suggest you click on the link!!!
Thanks. I hadn’t found that bit.
They’ve got so much covered as not permitted that there’s nothing left to put in a bag anyway! I trust there’s a very large number of lockers available and that they’re big enough for proper bags.
I will have to now. What my wife found seems to be out of date. Their camera policy seems to be different, too, as what she found said a maximum of a 300mm lens (which rather showed a lack of knowledge of modern cameras).

Man City had the same policy, so I carried everything in a 10p supermarket bag, and then just to enter the stadium put stuff in pockets and carried things. As soon as we were inside, I put everything back in the carrier bag. It was all quite easy (and pointless).

Where are you going to put your BALLOONS, flags, streamers, jesters hat, WIG, and DRUM
What's on the main link about bags simply says you can take cameras in. The banned items list says "professional cameras & recording devices (This applies to cameras that have interchangeable lenses)".
I'm not quite sure where a DSLR with a telephoto lens fits. Are they saying anything with an interchangeable lens is 'professional', or are they going to argue at the search spot as to whether your dslr is 'starter, amateur, enthusiast, pro'? And don't some phone cameras have additional lenses now.....
The prohibited list also says "water bottles (need to have the ability to decant)". What does that mean??
