davieG Posted 19 January 2007 Posted 19 January 2007 From OS League To Introduce Smoke Free Policy In 2007/08 The Football League has announced the introduction of a 'smoke free' policy, to take effect from the beginning of the 2007/08 season. This new policy anticipates and exceeds expected government legislation in this area. Consequently, smoking will not be permitted throughout stadium confines from July 2007 onwards. The Walkers Stadium is already a no-smoking stadium having introduced the policy at the start of this season. The new policy also takes into account views expressed by more than 43,000 fans in The Football League Supporters' Survey 2006. Almost 80% of fans participating in the survey advocated the introduction of some form of 'smoke free' policy at matches, with half of all fans wanting an outright ban. In announcing The League's new 'smoke free' policy Chairman Lord Mawhinney said: "In re-branding The Football League we made a serious, long-term commitment to encouraging a new generation of supporters to our matches. This is the latest stage in that process. "We aim to get more families and more young fans going along to watch their local Football League club. "This new policy will ensure that doing so does not have a negative effect on their health."

Guest Posted 19 January 2007 Posted 19 January 2007 The Walkers Stadium is already a no-smoking stadium having introduced the policy at the start of this season. Perhaps it's about time that they started enforcing it.

Lord Nibblington Posted 19 January 2007 Posted 19 January 2007 Perhaps it's about time that they started enforcing it. Why would they want to do that? T'would involve real effort and commitment!
Joe. Posted 19 January 2007 Posted 19 January 2007 Good, good Smoking is nasty and everyone else shouldn't have to pay for somebody else trying to kill themselves.
