Hotdogs, extra onions
My personal feeling is to support the club if they have a genuine reason to believe there is a security risk. It would be good to be let know a little of the perceived risk as a courtesy rather than the terse response the club has so far made adn then you'll get your wish and this thread will die.
Apart from the inconvenience to people that like to take flasks of hot drinks to the football, the above paragraph makes total sense.
Have the people that deal in this sort of security/terrorism awareness (at government level) identified flasks as potential explosive devices? If yes, why is there not a total ban of them at all Premier League grounds (high profile)?
I think the club should at least publish more details behind this sudden crackdown which tends to penalise the elderly fans rather than hide behind 'health and safety'. Obviously we can't be told every single detail if there is a genuine security risk but we could be told where the recommendation for a ban originated.
If people were better informed by the club as to the detailed reasoning we probably wouldn't have such a massive thread about it!
