.... and so it escalates.

Good on him, it's a very pathetic situation.

Or maybe they'll do neither, realising that this comedian and his faux-outrage will quickly disappear from anyone's radar but his own? And of course that of the 'livid' Helen, to whom I send my deepest sympathies on the loss of half a bottle of water.

The "story" makes more of a mockery of a local newspaper desperate to fill space and the person will to contact them over it more than the club and their rules.

Oh bless him and his livid Helen, I make no wonder shudds aren't even taken seriously in their own town.

Those hats don't help; I opened the story expecting a terror suspect and what I'm faced with, is a John McCririck looky-likey.

Daves a good guy. He's only brought to a wider attention the issues that people on here have been banging on about and actually walked away from the club for. Agree about the hats though.

You're not allowed to enter the ground with open drinking bottles/cans so I don't enter ground with any bottles or cans and I've not occurred and problems.

“I’ve never seen Helen as livid. She made a great scene of pouring the water away.”

I would have loved to have seen that!

i thought the policy was introduced to encourage people to purchase refreshments inside the ground?, or has this now been cunningly disguised as a health and safety issue?

This just reinforces the long standing attitude of Shuddersfield Giant Eagles from top to bottom. Kick Wakefield Trinity at every opportunity.
I thought now that they had established themselves as one of the top table that they would no longer see Wakey as any sort of threat to their continued existance in Super League.
I was wrong.

The problem here seems to be comunication we all know now what happens to be the rules but i think the club should contact the clubs who are due to play us here at belle vue and inform them so they can let their fans know, isnt this just curtasy.

What the club need to do is scrap this stupid rule. I agree 100% with no alcohol and glass bottles and that should be it.

Yet when we played a couple of Friday's back these rules were not applied. There weren't even stewards outside the ground. (Too busy working the pubs and clubs)If the club want to make the rules regarding what can and can't be taken in then that's fine. But enforce them consistently and make sure people are aware. I like the Hull fc system,big list on every turnstile to tell you what is banned from the ground. Certainly not stewards talking about terror threats and so on.

If pomposity had any real value you'd be a millionaire - would you talk down to Dave like that if you were face to face as a matter of interest.

Yes it is a bit of a lame story but the underlying issue isn't.

Just shows you that not much happens at Huddersfield to warrant newspaper space.

As someone who doesn't take drink into the ground, what do other clubs do and are we any different (I know that the stewarding lacks consistency) but, do other grounds allow drink to be taken in.
A few of us went to a outdoor "gig" recently and you couldn't take drinks (of any sort) in there.

You can't take drinks into the Ethiad as far as I recall.

Maybe the real issue is do we want BV to be like that?

It's in the public domain, so I assume he is prepared to own his outrage; so yes, I'd question his motivation for approaching the paper.

I hate these local rag non-stories; it's plainly an attempt by a Huddersfield fan to stick the boot in and because these crappy little papers are on the wane, they'll print anything.

RealSteel - you made the point of the stewards that Friday were to busy working the pubs and clubs and for me there in lies the problem they think they are still working the pubs and clubs when stewarding at BV and a different attitude and approach is required.As for the terrorist threat if you wanted to drink any of the stuff that you can make a bomb from then good luck to you as you would certainly not be going much further than the turnstile.The Ethiad the only thing you can take in is bottled water be it full or half full.

You could find it was just in their online addition maybe, here in Halifax the local rag also puts trivia on website that's not in paper

I agree with that, that some door people in clubs have a poor attitude , I once saw a couple trying to goad a young drunk lad into fighting, imagine having the same mentality on match day

Only grounds Ive not been able to take drinks into are Etihad and Wembley. Had no problem taking drinks onto any other ground.

This is the policy according to the club's website;
"There are a number of food and drink concessions around the Stadium but supporters are also permitted to enter the Stadium with their own food and drink. However, under the terms of the Stadium’s license, alcohol is not permitted to be brought into the Stadium. Furthermore, glass bottles/containers and tin/metal cans are not permitted under any circumstances."
There's a bit more about searching bags etc but, basically, there should be absolutely no problem if somebody is going in to the ground with sandwiches, crisps, fish and chips or any other foodstuff and plastic bottles, opened or not, of pop/water.
It seems to me that the stewards are the ones who don't know the rules and, in "Dave's" case and Big Al's the club, through the stewards, has cocked up.
