The list is completely illogical, a bunch of keys could clearly be classed as a potential weapon.Yeah an iPad is a tablet. Trouble with these lists is that they can probably put anything on there without justifying it...food for example, that's only on there so you buy it inside the stadium
I had a 15 minute argument at the turnstile today with a steward in the pissing down rain over my daughter having her iPad. My daughter is 8 and takes her iPad to every game and as since she was 5. Eventually I was allowed to take it in, what they thought I was going to do with it is beyond me. All he kept saying was no iPads with no reason.
Can anybody shed any info on if you can take an iPad in with you ?
The portable adapters with adjustable voltage make a great weapon.The list is completely illogical, a bunch of keys could clearly be classed as a potential weapon.
As @TheBlueDune points out many phones can equal a tablet as a recording/streaming device - which I suspect is the reason for the ban on tablets. Portable chargers though, that one is a mystery, unless it's to stop people charging up the tablets that shouldn't be there!
What made it more ridiculous was he was so obsessed with taking our crisps off us that he didn’t actually scan my son - my lad jokingly said as we walked in, “thank god they didn’t find the knife, gun, bomb etc that I’ve got in my coat.”Should have 'lent' them to whoever was behind you in the queue until you were all inside.
Slightly off topic but funny nonetheless, against Hoffenheim I went with my son in 3rd tier south stand and at entrance M my son went in the bag queue as we had our usual 2 bottles of sealed water and 4 packets of crisps, the buffoon who scanned him said “you’re only allowed 1 packet of crisps each and have to throw 2 away, take your pick” - never in my life heard anything so fucking ridiculous, meant I had to discard my pickled onion monster munch, the bastard.
My daughter took her laptop with her on Wednesday, seemingly not as offensive as an iPadId have advised him he wont be going home with his fucking teeth the jobsworth ****.
He said, and I quote, “we’ve been told to be more strict and it’s 1 packet per person” - I just laughed at the cûnt and really couldn’t be arsed arguing for the sake of a 30p packet of crisps.I’m surprised you obliged, that is fucking ridiculous.
