It is legal to smoke on the spirals (As said at the Points of Blue meeting 30th April 2009, included in the minutes of the meeting from the City v bolton programme) but the club wont let anyone smoke there. It makes sense to let people go there to smoke rather than ignore a problem and let them cram into toilets but they wont let people do this?
Apart from that whats the point of talking about this? Plebs, twats, lepers, etc. etc. all the usual shit for smokers, but I guess that so long as your insulting smokers its not against the CoC to be insulting and offensive so thats ok then :)
If any of you actually wanted the smoking issue sorted out you'd have found the same information I did and pursue dialogue with the club to get things changed for the better of everyone, smokers and non smokers alike. Instead you just sit on your high horses calling people names and pretending your better because you dont smoke.

I actually think that is not the case.
the law also states that it is illegal for anyone to smoke within the workplace and as the spirals are within the turnstiles they are the workplace and not a public place.
ergo it is illegal to smoke on the spirals and if any employee puts in a complaint the club would probably find they face severe finds and put their licence at risk. ultimately people smoking could end with the ground being closed.
having said that as a non-smoker I have a no real prolem with smoking anywhere in the grounds
but I have with all these rules whether it is no smoking,swearing.drinking or even singing muncih songs we already have too many rules its a game for working class people who enjoy these sorts of things [/quote]
i think you're right. coms is council property and the council has a no smoking regulation covering all its property. i believe even the forecourt and approaches are technically also no smoking areas because of this regulation although i can't imagine anyone being stopped.
