Jon the Hat Posted 21 April 2006 Share Posted 21 April 2006 Well when you lose fans who create the atmosphere due to petty mindness 'stick your red card up if you want smoking banned regime' in an open enviroment i hope youl all be happy If you care so little about the club you can't go 90 minute (or even 45) without a ciggy, who cares?

Why should they have too though? they are not illeagal to buy and are addictive, perhaps you should save your scorn for when they try and ban something you enjoy.

Guest Posted 21 April 2006 Share Posted 21 April 2006 They do, there are times I'd love a drink during the match, but I curb my alcoholic tendencies and save it for the pub afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beer is poor in the Walkers, they poor it and leave it sitting there and then top it up with another left over pint to give it a head....i still drink it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they banned beer through out the stadium and you could only get it at the pubs, we'd exactly what i mean. by the way i don't smoke anymore and haven't for several weeks now (excluding the odd crafety one when i am wasted ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 21 April 2006 Share Posted 21 April 2006 I can't drink beer/lager, certainly not in any quantity, so effectively I can't drink at football stadia. I also refuse to pay OTT prices for a piddling bottle of wine, when I could buy a full bottle of the stuff from the supermarket. Don't worry folks, I cope.

MARCUSLCFC Posted 21 April 2006 Share Posted 21 April 2006 It's not really all about not being able to light up in the walkers its the whole smoking ban in itself which in my opinion is just another attack on our personal choice's... The thing people don't realise is that when everybody is more or less forced to stop smoking and the government is not raking in the tax on ciggys anymore whats gonna happen...do you think there just gonna forget about the 9 billion pounds a year they make from cigarette tax. ummm now let me think about that one for a sec anyways *before i get deeper into a political minefield* has anyone yet come out at HT as the whistle blow's and got a beer and manage to drink it before the start of the second half without having to literally force it down ya neck.....its a challenge but i'll always try again and again ....

The Don Posted 21 April 2006 Share Posted 21 April 2006 I go down for a beer at 37 minutes, get served easily and can watch it on the screen. Wot pisses me off though is if you want a packet of cheese and onion crisps, you have to say blue packet else they don't know what you're on about!!!

Leicfox Posted 21 April 2006 Share Posted 21 April 2006 Did you all know that in Ireland apparently sales of fags have gone up since the ban, reason being that most people have mates that smoke, these m8's have to go outside for a drag leaving there non smoking friends inside, but this is not the case as these non-smokers who moan and winge are also comimg outside and this bit is the best, starting to smoke.

I have no problem with people smoking, just as long as they appreciate that I do not want to smoke and/or breathe in all their smoke. So if everybody stopped smoking today, how long do you reckon before we see a significant decrease in smoking related illnesses, enough to cover the Tax deficit from smokers? My guess would be 50 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultra Posted 21 April 2006 Share Posted 21 April 2006 We've had this debate before. I'll repeat what I said then. People have the right to go to football matches without running the risk of being poisoned by their fellow "fans". Too many smokers have been ignorant and inconsiderate. If they prefer to spend money on fags rather than football they'll be no great loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy this argument I'm afraid. I don't smoke I choose not to, I appreciate that you can tell me to go where people aren't smoking. But when I go to the football I'm forced to breathe in other people's smoke, because people sit near me who smoke before the game and at half time and because I don't want to go and stand in the concourse. I appreciate that people want to smoke and its difficult to just stop people. So although I'm in favour of a complete ban, it seems the best thing, although not a perfect solution, is to alocate certain blocks to smoking and others to not. Is the family stand non-smoking?
