Ok so its my little lads first game on Saturday. 6 years old so lots of goals please.

anyway … hes got a few quid to spend in the store before the game, getting there a lot earlier than my usual routine.
This bag situation that you can only take bags of a certain size into the ground… does that include stuff that has just been bought in the City Store?
 
I'm fairly sure you can take bags from the store in, partly because they're clear bags and easy to search and partly because they'd be stupid not to. The big bag things is to stop people like me turning up with a rucksack from work with a laptop in. Then again, given how overzealous our security can be I can't say 100% for sure.

We took our rucksack. Took everything out of it, put it all in our pockets, put the bag in our pockets. Went in. Fkin ridiculous rule

And once inside took rucksack out of pocket and transfered all contents from pockets back to rucksack?

the stewards often forget we are supporters, not customers

Go in the store after the game if you're worried about bags.
best wishes
 
There is a bag storage facility now.
Its near OT cricket ground and its £25 for small items and £435 for large (plus vat). I had a large matchbox so it was deemed the latter.
One downside, it's closed after the match.
Hope this helps.

I wouldn’t chance it. Took my 10 y.o. to the Wycombe game in 93:20. He had his school backpack (small). In it were his overcoat, City scalf and iPad). Security were worse than arseholes - even after he put coat & scalf on and carried his iPad - leaving his backpack empty. I folded it up and said I would carry it in like that. They still refused entry unless the backpack (now folded away) was disposed of. They suggested the lockers which would’ve meant missing a lot of the 1st half.

There were a couple of Policemen there and I asked if the backpack was a security risk, they said no and one commented “It’s City mate, they treat you like shit.” While I didn’t agree with him I felt like slapping the little teenage twat on security. What annoyed me most was the smirk on his face. I’m experienced enough in dealing with people to see that he was actually enjoying the situation. I ended up throwing the backpack in the bin (£30 wasted), called the little twat on Security a sad officious wanker and went in.
