Pint anyone?

three raffle ticket books, all different colours, one lets you get back into the clayton end, one back into the main stand and one back into the away end, not rockets science just a bit of forward thinking and thinking of the fans,

Same principal for the stamps on the hand :)

Come down early for the next game John you can manage it!!;)
 
The stewards are all stood about looking for people smoking, why not let them do it, thats what there getting paid for isn't it, can't be hard to do can it - 1 person on each gate handing coloured tickets out and making sure he gets the same colour back before he lets you back in

Opps - forgot the :D :rolleyes:
 
I'm an ex smoker of 30 years, back then I would have found it difficult to stand around for 15 min kicking my heels whilst suffering the noise and dribble booming out over the loud speakers without the dreaded weed. However, it is a no smoking stadium, but that shouldn’t mean that either party should be discriminated against, I wouldn’t mind a corner sectioned off at the side of the bogs for smokers, nor do I see any reason why the gates shouldn’t be manned to let smokers into the car park for a quickie, we could charge them half a crown a time, we could buy some bloody cladding with the proceeds.
 
When I was at the UEFA cup match between Molde and Rangers in Norway last year they let everyone who wanted to go out at half time for a smoke then let them back in and that was a far bigger crowd than the FES could hold and apparently that was normal in Norway. The same happened at the airport in Torp where you had to go out then back through passport control. Would it really be that hard at halftime at the FES to let people out for a smoke?
 
yeehaa hope something positive comes from looking into it i think it could attract more fans from surrounding area;):Banane15::Banane15::Banane15:even if its just another 20-30 spectators its a plus....

No disrespect Philip@, but if Stanley are "looking into something", then on past record does that mean smokers will be catered for sometime in the next 3 bloody seasons!? :rolleyes:

There have been 2 very easy solutions mentioned on this thread, and as we have Stewards posted on ALL exit gates throughout the match, then to my mind I fail to see the problem.
 
You have no chance of having a fag inside the perimeter fencing, it is a complete no-no. And correct me if I am wrong, but I believe if you leave the ground at any time before or during the match, you would not be allowed back in. Also, all these folk that fly off to sunny Spain, Tenerife etc etc, how do they do without a ciggie. When I was a smoker, I flew to Australia via Singapore and the shortest flight was 10 hours!! I managed though and soon as I was out of the airport or in the smokers area then I lit up. Come on peeps, its only 2 1/4 hours maximum for a game of footie including extra time, lets get things into perspective.

I fully understand your opinion Ozzy, and I also fully support the ban in pubs etc, however pubs etc have made provisions for smokers, it appears that the Football League has not, all that is being asked is for the Club to consider the possiblities and make an effort:).................lets be honest, we have ailienated fans big time this season, and if other clubs can/do accomodate smokers, then why not Stanley?
 
I'm in full agreement with UK Cowboy. It would be ridiculousy easy to accomodate smokers so we should. As mentioned other clubs accomodate us and STANLEY SHOULD. We cannot afford to lose those that would otherwise stay away because of it. It needs to be done straight away as well, just so that another argument doesn't rumble on.
