walkleyowl Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Sorry b4 have you never seen this? unfortunately the changing world means that people could go in with something unsavoury or dangerous if it wasn't policed. It may be a bottle of Pepsi etc for you but stewards don't know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Rules are rules. You'd have something to say if Forest fans were taking bottles in and using them as weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 B4 has a point. I don't know what i can or can't take in. People around me always have flasks in colder months, why are they allowed but a bottle of pop isn't? There are half hearted searches of bags, but flares are set off now and then. I doubt its because it may be used as a weapon, afterall they wouldn't stop you buying a bottle of pop from a vending machine and drinking it in the stands.

The previous two seasons it's just been the bottle tops they took off you this season you couldn't even take the bottle in, think maybe they should concentrate on stopping pitch invaders who could be carrying a knife rather than confiscating fruit shoots off kids.

Tamworthram Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 The silly thing is, like everyone else I was frisked going in. Fair enough, I don't have a problem with that. However, I was carrying a coat and they didn't check that at all. I could have sneaked all manner of things in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneheadjohn Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Sometimes it’s not what they say but how they say it. You’re not allowed to the bottle in,which is a rule and that is fine,however someone should take the time to deal with you properly and not leave you feeling so aggrieved. I think the standard of stewarding and security at grounds is a very mixed bag. Don’t let it put you off mate,we can have a rules section in a match day thread(that’s supposed to be mildly amusing by the way). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4ev6is Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 I spoke number police officer about and none of them can see a probleam with it. So for me it just rip fans off and is total wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Birmingham is a dump, the football ground is in the ghastly bit of town, everyone who works there always looks utterly fed up. Sorry b4, but with that background of unremitting grimness, you're never going to find people who are going to cut you some slack.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteroseram Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I understand your frustration, I think maybe venues should try and standardise so you knoe where ever you go what will be allowed in and what won't We know Birmingham have an issue with their stewards, they pay an external company to do it who are terrible most of the stewards are youngsters or borderline pensioners according to a Bham fan I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to try and deal with people as an individual which largely they don’t,the power of discretion and speaking to people has been largely drilled out of people in exchange for robots who can follow instructions. If it’s any consolation my experience of dealing with clubs this season has been 66% fantastic. Derby have been brilliant to deal with,Sheffield Utd were fantastic,Rotherham not so much. Don’t take it personally B4 and carry on enjoying your football. And if it makes you feel better they probably do treat all the fans as badly.

Fraser_23 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 They’ve started to do it in the east stand now. When they serve a bottle of whatever, they have to take the lid off. Quite annoying as it means you have to drink pretty much straight away so you don’t knock it over etc. Dont really understand why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with the top on it could be used as a missile. So once again everyone is treated as a hooligan because of the few mindless idiots. We took a bottle of water into the ground on Saturday (I took the top off and hid it separately), but they didn’t bother searching my lad properly any way. Some you win, some you lose.
