Are we turning in to Ryanair?

Yeah i got caught by the bag police on the main front gate on at the Norwich game.

Said about my backpack being too big but i only had meds and a sandwich in it.

I usually have a flight to catch after the game so im not putting it in storage and queuing. Plus city charging £5 is a joke.

He told me the trick was to get a City shop plastic bag and say you bought stuff there.

did that for the arsenal game and worked.

Won’t be a city from Belfast

Not strictly true, in fact complete bollox. Two guys I sat next to in 123 are from Belfast and both lifelong blues and great guys.

When I worked on the ships if it was a night game I had to go straight to the game as I didn't have time to go home and drop my bag off. It went under my seat

It has been the case at most aways for 3 years plus, even big hand bags fall foul.

If it is more of a tote or soft fabric bag, other clubs allow you to empty it into you pockets and put the bag in your pocket. If you have a little ruck sack or holdall bag you have no chance.

It makes sense to take no type of bag to any game if you can.

Is the correct answer. The only difference is that we now have bag storage. - Cash not accepted.

Smaller than A4 was allowed.

What about manbags??

 

[Blu1]

I had my little ones rucksack smaller than a4 & they said no bags. All it had in was a teddy & drink (little one was with me) lol we had to take back to car.

funny thing was a woman walked past us with a hand bag much bigger & she walked straight in. then somebody clearly bought half the shop with 2 full city carry bags & they walked in.

zero consistency

So lets say you are staying over as you have travelled from Belfast, you have checked out of your hotel and are going to the game. Sometimes its unavoidable

In this case, here’s a few options;
- leave bag at hotel and return for it after the game
- hide bag under a bush
- wear the same clothes, just bring a change of underwear and toothpaste (no bag needed)

Lots of ways to avoid that fiver/tenner

I was behind Pete the badge in the queue against Arsenal and they were going through his bag at the table as if they'd had a tip off he was working for a Colombian drug cartel.

So glad he got away with it.... he has been my dealer for over 12 years now
