Smoking

[bobmcfc]

Its just a bit sad that people would risk their season ticket, all bunched together in a place where people shit and piss just to have a smoke. Before i quit i used to have a cig right before i went in the stadium and that did me, if it was a patricularly stressfull game i would definitely crave one but i wouldnt do it in the bogs. I see dads smoking in there with their kids stood next to them, its a bit of a sorry sight

I don't want to choke on people's smoke, I don't want my kids around it so I'm hoping they implement more deterents to stop us being exposed to it.

It's not healthy

That's what i'm saying mate.

It's about risk/reward ratio. If I thought there was a high probability I was going to get thrown out, I would probably refrain from smoking for the 80 odd minutes I'm usually in the ground.

As it is, the risks are low and I like smoking so I'll probably carry on for now.

It's not really is it? It's about adhering to the rules set out to protect those who just want a piss, i.e. no smoking in the bogs.
Must be some very stupid/weak people about but hey ho, nobody's perfect.

Not really weak. I could quite easily go without a smoke if I wanted to.

But as I don't really care about rules that are unlikely to be enforced. Or the opinion of, "Outraged from Bluemoon," I'll probably crack on for now.

Good luck with it all, sounds splendid.

You're obviously just trying to piss people off with a post like that. We eagerly await the thread you make when you get banned from the stadium and desperately look for ways to get your ticket back

Well people who would get pissed off just reading about someone smoking are even more of a lost case than those who can't wait to moan about it ruining their day, ten minutes after every game.

How come nobody ever cared when people were smoking away in trains/shops/pubs etc. etc. a few years ago?

Because it was allowed? Try that now and you'll be turfed out of wherever it is you've chosen to smoke against the rules set out. Again, not rocket science.

Why are people spending so much time in the toilets? As I've posted I never noticed it, I don't have a problem with people smoking on the spirals, it's an outside area to me. But rules are rules.

I don't think many people are that bothered that rules/ laws are being broken if they don't think it really affects them.

I don't see many people bothered that they heard a bit of foul language at a football game which is against the rules.

People seemed to be have been brainwashed into thinking walking within ten feet of a lit cigarette is gonna cause them to drop dead within the hour. It's not uncommon these days to see silly twats wafting the air in disgust as they walk past someone in the street smoking. Often as they're walking alongside a never ending line of 42 buses on Oxford Road.

And they're breaking no rules. Yet.

I'm just gonna go and twat the local shopkeeper in the face and rob his till. It won't really affect me unless I get caught. I'll let you know how I get on.

At 43 mins they made their routine announcement "the Etihad Stadium is a non-smoking venue". One wit behind us said "it's a non-football venue right now". A bit more concerned about the lack of fire on the pitch than in the bogs.<br /><br />-- Mon Sep 02, 2013 9:46 am --<br /><br />At 43 mins they made their routine announcement "the Etihad Stadium is a non-smoking venue".
