Smoking at Wemberlee

[1 F in Fleet]

Probably a Q for HJA or Jeff ...

We will have a smoker in our group at Wembley , and we all know there is no smoking at all in the ground , BUT ... would he be able to nip outside at half time , and gain re-entry with his ticket stub ?

Cheers all

Nope.

 

No smoking whatsoever once inside.

 

Like Oxford and Stevenage but with more stewards.

 

I had a sneaky one at England vs Brazil but it is not worth the hassle if you get thrown out because of it.

Yeessss , but do you know if he can he nip out at HT and re-enter ? None of us know , and are no wiser from the WemWeb .

AFAIK - there is no chance of 'nipping outside' at half time - imagine the chaos if 30-40,000 smokers all wanted a quick smoke during the FA Cup final - the seats would all be empty for the start of the second half.... Wait a minute, the seats ARE empty for the start of the second half!!!

This looks like it could be a "nick" before we even get there ... I can see him now , foot long fag down Wembley Way , Plod in abundance ...

Am sure there are ways and means of getting around the urge - but is a quick nicotine blast really worth the chance of seeing Fleet lift the Trophy?

Quick trip to Boots for a megapack of Niquitin patches !

No out passes. Once you're in, you're in.

 

It's two hours max.

 

However, I am a bit Marcello Lippi when it comes to watching the Fleet in tense situations.

It's a big NO smoking, i went to the first corporate event at the new stadium and they were making us walk past the slope of Wembley way to have a snout. Mind you at England games it's more mob rule and if you get thirty smokers they can't throw you all out not enough stewards.

I'm not a smoker and never have been, but surely if you smoke you can show some consideration for a couple of hours, there will be hundreds of kids in the crowd at Wembley that dont want smoke blowing in there faces every 5 minutes while someone has a 'crafty un', if your'e not allowed to smoke, then dont smoke. I havn't got a problem with smokers, but dont risk getting chucked out of the biggest game in 'Fleets' history.

P'raps they should be selling tickets for the coughing (coffin?) section rather than the season ticket holders section !

Just get p*ssed...then you won't know whether you have had a cigarette or not !!

Mind you , wouldn't want to forget the moment IF we achieve greatness !

[Hirsty]

....you don't have to get that p*ssed !

I will ask on Sunday, but I very much doubt it.

If only everybody on this forum were as sensible & practically minded as this gentleman, his support of strange teams from erstwhile centres of steel production notwithstanding. (God, I'm impressed with my ability to say that without lisping after a 7 pint long journey home from work.)
