Caught smoking in the ground

[talkativesprout]

He got caught end of. A lot depends though on who catches you, there were people smoking at summerbees bar in the city square on Saturday right by stewards who just turned a blind eye

OMFG, go inside, pubs, ground, home. alas coz someone was smoking outside you found the need to vent

 

[Gordyola]

why don't the club just say"fuck it,on the spirals,you can smoke",,why put the stewards through all the abuse and shit they must take???

I see the logic in allowing this even though I am anti smoking.
As I understand it due to a Bye-Law is against the law to spoke on Manchester City Council property, Sport City is council property so it is actually illegal to smoke even outside, this makes it even more difficult for the club to allow smoking on the spirals also no access to spirals from North and South stands

 

[rnblade]

should be at least a season ban.
pathetic selfishness.

Totally agree, & i am a smoker.

well said mate ¬

 

[u2fme2]

game ban,
lesson learnt

You anti smoking Liberal tarts really get on my fucking wick, it's nothing to do with not liking others smoking in an area where you are, it's a fucking power thing and just a situation you can exploit and jump on the bandwaggon to have a go at being an authoritarian. You make it sound like we are hooligans, hell bent on getting into confrontations with stewards and staff at venues, just so we can abuse authority.

If the spirals are well out of every other legitimate fans way, are made of material that is totally uncombustable, are very well ventilated, and the smoke doesn't drift in the direction of you saints, what the fuck is your problem? If those smokers who's matchday experience is made a little more comfortable by being able to walk 100 yards out and down a spiral to ENJOY a cigarette, why are you tossers so aggitated, get a fucking life, or maybe better go boil your fucking heads.

We are smokers, not lepers and although we are the only section of society that is legally allowed to be victimised and discriminated against openly (other than possibly paedophiles and rapists) we like all you clever, clean, saintly and arrogant tosspots deserve some reasonable consideration, we haven't broken any criminal laws and should be afforded some rights with regard to our preference to smoke.

In fact the most flaunted law of the land, is riding bikes on the pavements, or at night with no lights, so why not set up some gestapo like movement to crack down on that issue or something meaningfull like that, I mean I hate seeing two blokes snogging each others face off, in public, but it's just another example of what normal people of yesteryear have to accept and have force fed to them by the type of people you and others like you seem to strive to get acceptance of!

Don't just get on your high horses after reading my agitated response, try for once to think about what is written and appreciate the frustration smokers have to endure by your petty bitching and bullying. I am not suggesting or advocating allowing our habits to be conducted in an area where you healthy people may be infected or affected by our inconsiderate behaviour, not in the stands or the toilets, but well out of your way, is this so unreasonable at the end of the day?

No, born and bred in Manchester, from a family of City season ticket holders going back to before world war II and every generation has smoked in the ground, only recently has this changed, which is acceptable, however why anyone should feel my slightly watered down use of a term like 'Liberal Tarts', for political correctness issues, causes you to think I'm a yank is a mystery to me?

Well, however this post started, my post is valid, and though you try to dismiss it in such a lame way, I can tell you from experience, that had I decided to post it as a new thread, it would have been promptly merged into submission.
These forums are open to legitimate debate but are full of nothing posts like yours, so if you've got something interesting to add, use some brain cells, otherwise butt out!
