Srg Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 This policy been in place years, just rarely ever enforced. Seen to remember they reiterated it not too long back and fans were up in arms, only for them to clarify that nothing had changed. Guess the issue is inconsistent enforcement. jimtastic56 and Kathcairns 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 We've got stopped from taking them into West Stand - both over 65 but obviously look a bit dodgy.... ? Yet we can take a flask in.

Mucker1884 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Muckerette had to take her (water) bottle top off as we entered Old Trafford for the cup semi under young Nigel. when was that, 2009? Think they did it at Wembley v Villa (serving the bottle in the concourse) if I recall? that’s my limited first hand experience of such a silly rule. …Although someone on here made a good point the other day, as by removing the top, any bottle thrown us unlikely to be full and weighty by the time it hits the target. I guess it’s more that, than merely using the bottle top itself as a missile? ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not believe it for a second. I would even be surprised if you uttered a cross word under your breath.

With the UK tax payer supporting them massively, which is all bonkers if you ask me - if services are essential then the nation should own and control them just like the current energy sector debacle Of course everyone knows strikes don’t happen in state run industries. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I presume you all know to freeze your bottle of water beforehand?

But those guys on the gates have a lot of discretion. I’m sure that before letting you in he asked himself: “hmmm, well how far do I reckon she could chuck that flask?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fill it right to the very top, so there's no air in it when you put the lid on before putting it on fast freeze ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually buy a bottle of Fanta from the concourse kiosk at half time. Protection of revenue rather than people, I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
