You make it sound like following football is a chore. It shouldn't be.
Football is my release from the harsh realities of work, and real life. I'm not demanding they let me out at half time for a cigarette, but I would love it if they did.
Huh? If you can go for days without a cig then how is it a chore to go 90 mins? I really don't understand your point.
At the end of the day it's well documented that it's against the law to smoke in the stadium and the club can get in trouble if people are doing it. Everyone knows the score so you have absolutely no grounds to complain about it on here or to the club. Try writing to your local MP or start a campaign to get the law changed if it bothers you that much.
And that is the fundamental issue. It's against the Law. What I want to know is how folk go on at work not smoking doing a full 8 hour shift? My lad smokes, I always warn him he'll get caught one day and thrown out. He always has my spare set of car keys, and I always have his season card.
