I’ve had the odd craving for a Cumberland before but never desperate for one. Have you taken a pregnancy test recently? 

Come to think on it @David I have-ner. I will consult my physician forthwith...{reaches for stethoscope & makes mental note to not to drink Guinness at Wembley Championship play-off Final next year..*}

* assuming we make it} .

I think by putting out the policy on Twitter the club has created a perception that it’s going to be enforced as per the rules.

Do we know if it’s going to be enforced to the letter of the rules or will common sense and discretion apply @David.

We’ve had a few dealings with Grace by the way and she has always come across as lovely.

As someone who doesn't attend, I think everyone should have to go completely naked for safety reasons, and refreshment should come in the form of a stream of stale water running down the aisles between each block; to save plastic.

That makes no sense.

You’re calling Derby fans an embarrassment.

I’m not moaning about the statement, I guess you’re not either. But I and you are Derby fans?

That makes no sense?

I can’t sit here and tell you which policies will and won’t be enforced. That’s not a question I would ask for obvious reasons. 

What I can tell you is that the food and drink policy has been in place for a number of seasons now.

Ironically, you can now longer say Grace before a meal at Pride Park, unless you've purchased it in the ground.

We all just need to boycott all the concourses and The Yard/Backyard.

I'm not about to boycott The Yard - they've just put Cocu Vin and Scheeper's Pie on the Menu.

Good luck to whoever has to frisk me to find out where I've secreted my half-time sausage roll after they bring in this daft idea....

'Secreted' got me??

[Gee SCREAMER !!]

Not sure how it can be reiterating a policy if it's updated.  A few times a year I take my two nephews to a game in the family end, bringing in a few sweets and a drink is part of the day for them .   I'm happy to buy something at halftime if they want it but it adds another 15 quid to an already expensive day out .  If this is now a forced policy to make you spend more it's appalling .  It appears we may have gone from a free season ticket on promotion to security confiscating a packet of  Cola bottles .

Let me put a bit of reality to this for those people moaning...

The bag size restrictions are pretty standard. They are increasingly introduced at sporting events and other large gatherings by way of aiding safety in light of terror concerns. As are the advices that bags are potentially subject to search. Not all bags will be searched by any stretch but in the event that they do wish to search your bag you won't be able to scream 'breach of civil rights'. Judging by the over reaction, petitions and calls to protest it is a reasonable caveat to notify fans of.

With regards to bringing in refreshments there are two key points. In order to satisfy licensing the club has to demonstrate a level of control on people bringing in their own alcohol. This is quite easily done as a coke bottle with spirits etc. It's a way of demonstrating control which can be enforced if required but is not necessarily there to be policed to drive revenue as the net benefit of increased sales vs increased cost of checks would never balance let alone release profit. 

It's admin and little more. The reaction is hugely over the top in many areas. 

It goes on the list alongside Keogh, Lawrence and Kenny Burns as things most likely to make Derby fans react irrationally.

As a nipper, used to take aniseed balls or pineapple chunks into the Baseball Ground.

Used to eat a few then launch the remainder at the away fans

Those were the days, providing nourishment for the great unwashed

This,

They aren't going to take a kiddies sweets away or an old fellas flask of tea. Not going to happen.

What they may object to is carrying in branded food like KFC or Subway. At worst they will moan at carrying a bottle of pop in in your hand rather than a bag.

Will they check me if I have a bottle of coke in my pants ??

Well, the announcement stated that the policy has been updated so in what way has it  been updated?

Trying to take sweets off kids or tea off OAP's is hassle that no steward can be arsed with. Put your snacks in your bag and don't worry about it.
