Was that three games and did it include the cups? (cheers for the quick response)
the card is suspended for 3 matches so if we had a league fixture then two cup games he would miss those if he does not go to cup games its a one match ban
mindmyp's_n_q's said:Right bit of an update.
"The banned one" has now had his letter from the council/Fletcher saying that he has been banned for smoking and if he wishes to appeal this then he needs to contact whoever.
What the letter does not say is how long or when his ban is up ( i thought it was 3 games for a first offence).
Has anyone else who has been banned received a letter and if so on theirs did it state when the ban was up or is it like this one that appears (I have not read it am just going off what my mate has told me) to be indefinite.
Any help appreciated. Oh and "The banned one" A few beers for all the work I am doing on your behalf (not in March though as I am a month off the booze.)

Good luck taking it through the County Courts, some time in 2014 you might get a written apology from the club.
The principle is no different, not even slightly different. The club has taken someone's card on the basis of a spuriously proven accusation relying on eye witness testimony of one person in a crowded toilet. As a result, someone has been deprived of three games attendance at a football match they've already paid for. Take 'em to court and you'd probably win. It certainly wouldn't be a case of getting a written apology in 2014. It'd be settled in a few months not years and if an 'apology' happened, that would assume the club was proved wrong, in which case you'd get at least the match ticket prices back plus costs. Me Da has already refused more than that in mediation.gaudinho's stolen car said:Just clocked this and also noticed that your dad's season ticket was taken away for something completely different, which wasn't a law applied by MCC such as the smoking ban.

Not saying that should happen in this case because the guy has admitted he's guilty but you were wholly wrong to suggest the club could get away with what it does. It can't if you take them to court. It's not above the law. Companies much much larger than MCFC get taken to a court of law and lose. Formerly the biggest company in the world Microsoft got taken to court on many many occasions and lost. I really am thankful that the legal system still allows some power to fight back because there's nothing else besides this and technology plus the www that lets people fight back and your message that the club is powerful enough to stop that is damaging.
My message is simple, if you've done nothing wrong then fight it and don't be intimidated.

I had my tongue removed and replaced with a muscle from my thigh.
Obviosly the scars fom ear to ear are plain to see.
To the point. So as not to smoke I decided to try the electronic cig which are widely available and profess on many websites that you can smoke them anywhere.
I have been using this since the start of the season and have even had banter with the stewards when they realise they are not real.This was o.k till the Porto game when some jobsworth stward came to my seat and asked me to stop using it as it was against company policy.I asked for proof of the policy he couldnt give any.So saturday against Blackburn I had puff on my imaginary cig and fcukk me the same steward was on me like a rash.Said if i carried on I would be evicted.I again reiterated wher does it say I can't use e-cigs.10 minutes later the men in black came for me nice welcoming commitee 20 of them for 50 year old cancer sufferer
oh fckin hard boys.Anyways guess what........3 match ban........Wankers!!!
