Items you're allowed to take into the Ground(Food)

Just thought of a genius way to get round taking a large sandwich in.....break it in half.

Surely if it's the potential of having alcohol in an unsealed 500ml bottle, only let sealed bottles in 

 

I always nip to b&m before the game and buy a bottle of coke for a quid - the same one which costs like 4 quid in the stadium. Still sealed but they made me chuck it. That boils down to moneymaking, there is literally no other reason.

You can’t injure a ref with a plastic cup can you. Who thinks these things through?

You can spill a drink all over the people in front though

My dad has routinely taken in a box of Mr Kipling cakes and assorted drinks (usually capri sun) every home game for the past 15 years and has never been asked to bin them before he goes in

That is exceedingly good of the club.

If they don't already, they should do Pukka Pies in the concourses.

Can't beat them.

Probably.  You could do some damage if you threw a 1lb solid pork pie at someone.  A sandwich is allowed as it breaks up in the air when you throw it 

Ive always wondered how Villa fans got all those cabbages in the ground

How do they explain letting flasks in then in that situation? Are they checking every flask for alcohol, or are they just inconsistent and squeezing the fans for every penny like your second para suggests.

Funniest thread I’ve read on here, not much competition, but fair play to you all

What I don’t get is why an unsealed bottle isn’t allowed in? 

Presumably because the contents could have been altered or tampered with like alcohol could have been put in it I suppose. Sealed bottles can not have been tampered with.

Judging by the email sent out, they were supposed to let sealed bottles in so you were unlucky and had some plum who didn't know the rules.

So what’s the difference with a flask?

Also, the club have said in the past the they want to reduce their carbon footprint.  Then why pour Pepsi from a single use plastic bottle into another single use plastic cup.  Idiots.

Because the reality is they don’t give a shit really, it’s all to do with profits. They’ll preach about us going green etc. Then print 20k clappers every match.

West Ham are set to answer criticism of prices of food and drink at the London Stadium by lowering them for their next home game.

Without looking closely they'd find it hard to tell whether it's been opened.

I completely agree, if unsealed bottles are allowed in then flasks shouldn't be either. I think the world's gone mad honestly, just let people bring whatever they want in no cans or glass bottles but plastic bottles flasks etc should be fine

I've got this really cool flask.

 

It's so cool you could describe it as hip.

[Sambiasso]

 

[Ashley]

There should be an update regarding this today and an apology. 

 

Clarity is there for what's allowed into the stadium too. 

 

Seems like a few stewards went abit power hungry on the day...

[Sambiasso]

Further to the review, the Club has agreed that sealed non-alcoholic drinks (i.e. soft drinks / water) of 500ml or less in plastic bottles will be allowed in the stadium, however, the Club will conduct dynamic risk assessments on the perceived threat of missile-throwing on a match-by-match basis. Any open bottles must have their liquid discarded prior to entry at turnstiles (they can then be refilled with water from the concourse kiosks, if required). Non-alcoholic drinks ‘pouches’ and refillable water containers will also be allowed into the stadium.

Common sense prevails!! 

[Jimmy]

should never have been changed and which ever middle manager made that call shouldn't be employed as they don't understand football supporters

[TrentFox]

Anyone know for certain if I’m allowed to bring in a family-sized strawberry trifle?? 🤔
