Smoking in the ground south stand tier 3

[Kippax Street 1880]

Good thread this. Big shout out to the spiral stewards who walk past about 80 people smoking then try pick on some frail old fella on his own.

Moaners gonna moan, nobody's "shit" smells of strawberries and cream, live and let live I say.

I'm a non smoker, but of a age when I use to wake up after a night out reaking of fag's on my clothes. My 4 mins SSL3 toilet experience doesnt bother me. Most venues have a 'smoking spot, even airports' thats another thing city need to sort out!

Airports - yes City definitely need to sort that out for all the Tourists.

The lengths that some people will go to for a piss.

A length you say..

One of the reasons I moved out of south stand level 1 was the horrific state of the toilets - literally a sewer of piss, shit and puke full of people smoking and doing coke.

Vile place. Stewards and staff couldn't care less.

South stand used to be fun 10 years ago but post-covid there was a noticeable and dramatic increase in scaly dickheads who don't know how to behave.

The higher ups at City don't even take reports of racist abuse and antisemitic chanting seriously so they are not going to give a toss about people smoking.

When I was in East Stand level one, maybe 10 years ago, they used to have a hit squad going round the toilets at half time. Couple of undercovers would go in and point culprits out to a welcoming committee as they came out.

3 game ban first offence. Not sure about after that.

Must have done away with them by the sounds of it.

Non-smokers can be very irritating and self-absorbed. My mother who has fortunately given up now would smoke in the living room either at hers or mine. Not even ask permission at mine. I despised coming in from a run or whatever and breathing in fresh air to a plume of smoke. Whenever I raised it with her she'd say 'That's just selfish' to which I'd reply 'Yes, you're absolutely correct. From the fucking smoker'. I too don't like the smoking in there and unfortunately I have a fairly weak bladder and have to utilise them a fair bit.

People who smoke inside / in their cars are absolutely disgusting. The thought of what their houses and cars must smell like literally makes me want to throw up.

Start a small ‘ciggy’ fire then the stewards will have to run in and blast em all with foam filled fire extinguishers :)

I sit in 139 and every half time a group of stewards stand in the toilets below the spiral to ensure no one smokes

fulham, forest and burnley are streets ahead in solving this issue than our club.

having an outer barrier before the turnstiles andopening up the gates at HT and letting smokers go outside is the way all grounds should be if they are able to (which city are)

Took my lad to the Plymouth game (relocated to bottom level family stand).
When he came back from the bogs he said there were as many people having a joint or smoke as having a piss.
Smelt like an open sewer in the concourse at HT so obviously plenty were using the facilities in the intended manor

Smelt like an open sewer eh!! obviously never went in the bogs at the back of the Kippax.

I sit 4 rows from the back in SS3. Is that high enough for ya ? ;-)

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Just piss all over them, say you couldn't see the urinal for the smoke

If I was a match goer and needed a piss at half time but couldn’t because of selfish cunts smoking, that’s exactly what I’d do. It would be worth a few digs.

Next time I’d smear shit on them.

It’s really simple. Do not smoke in the stadium facilities.

 

[stonerblue]

go in it then

I do, after i've had my half time smoke..

[35yearsstillhere]

I believe the whole campus comes under council rules who just have a total non-debatable ban. They’re trying to reduce the high levels of smoking related diseases in Manchester.

 

[TShed]

Maybe a bucket of water thrown over them? ;-)
Well that’s what you do to put out a fire and where’s there’s smoke there’s fire as they say!!!
