Water at tomorrow’s game | 500ml clear disposable water bottle allowed in the ground.

[Stoned Rose]

So irritating with this American crap lingo. Why not just state at the food and drink stalls. It’s like when companies and council now use terms like “procurement” to sound ponce but could just as still stick to the decades old use of purchasing. Really annoying. In property “real estate” was it fake before? I’m going to stop here!

I always try my utmost to not sound ponce.

Am I doing it wrong?

 

[Stoned Rose]

Yep.

One that particularly annoys me in the media is the widespread replacement of the perfectly adequate, one syllable “deaths” with the overlong “fatalities”

Bet you’ve been involved with one or two of those?

Hang on, so I can’t bring one of the many reusable sports bottles I’ve already got in the house - including one I bought from the City shop - but I can bring in a disposable one?

Meanwhile City bang on about giving a fuck about the environment with stupid schemes like paper cups and edible coffee mugs.

Fuck off. Clowns.

Ok , here’s the email I received Supporter Services (Man City) 12 Aug 2022, 12:16 BST Hi Anthony, Free tap water will be available at concessions. Plastic bottles will not be permitted entry to the stadium. Thanks

As part of the Licensing Act 2003 then any place that sells beer must also provide free tap water to its patrons. They're not doing you a favour, they're legally required to do this as is every place that serves alcohol.

I wonedered that n’all. Never heard of a “concession stand” in my life before this thread.

Isn’t a concession when you come to a compromise about land?

Think it's when you have something to tell.

They should have free water dispensers all around the ground, then you just take an empty water bottle through security and fill it, like they do at all the airports

 

[HelloCity]

What cracks me up is City's greenwashing.

The edible cups and recycled pint pots crap..... yet happy to ban water, no have water fountains inside to refill reusable bottles, forcing fans to buy a single use bottle of water at massive cost.

Only a drought and 35 degrees changes their policy. Laughable.

Peasant.

Exactly. Wembley does. Airports do. Was at Lord's last week, they do. Main train stations etc etc do.

The only reason City don't is to profiteer on disposable bottled soft drinks. The only reason they've changed the rule tomorrow is because the papers would have a field day.

Heatwave, drought, lack of water, scousers worried about dry pitches...bring it on!

They could claim it isn't reasonably available, and if so only to Patrons so wouldn't necessary be free unless they are paying for something else.

Good luck asking at the Palace game...
