As I said in my post above & also refered to by Jeff, Football Ground regs posted on every turnstile & around the ground are the stated requirement of the Football League-section 12, but are as a result of the July 1st No Smoking Act. As for Lancs CC Macca suggest you direct your comments to Football Ground Licencing Dept at County Hall, Preston, though I expect the response is likely to be related to the Act of Parliment instituted on 1st July 2007. As the club could be fined up to £2000 for any breach plus the "offender" open to a seperate fine, the club & stewards are not being obstructive, our hands are tied with this legislation as much as you smokers-bear in mind some of the stewards are smokers too & have to abide with this as much as everyone else. As for OT cricket ground, it is not regulated by the FA but bet it will be revised in not too distant future to comply with all sporting venues.
