I posted the below last August and you stated you would take it as an agenda item to the next FC voices meeting with John Cooper.

Any update please ??

The issue of drinking in the stands is of a minor concern compared to the issue of smoking in the ground which completely contravenes Health and Safety but goes on week after week in the toilets and is largely ignored by the stewards.

I have written to Mr Cooper about this but wasn't even afforded the courtesy of a reply, perhaps FC Voices can table this as an agenda item for the next meeting ?

Its a good point (cant say I have noticed it really)but I suppose the club should be looking to stamp it out if its going on. On a side note have you contacted the council I believe they are responsible for policing the no smoking regulations that are now inforce in all public buildings. Its another avenue for you to try at least.

In this day of job losses and credit crunch......this is really high up on the agenda

Why shouldn't it be ?

Do you condone smoking illegally in the building and passing on the carcinogens of tobacco smoke to innocent third parties ? Its illegal, why shouldn't it be dealt with ?

Neither credit crunch nor job losses should have any effect on contravention of stadium rules.....If you can afford go to and watch then stick to the rules.

I mereley asked a question and was told it would be addressed but as yet have not seen or heard anything.

Job losses and the state of the economy don't come into it. No smoking in public places is the law, and the SMC should manage their stadium on gamedays accordingly to ensure that they are complying with the law.

I couldnt care bleeding less tbh...........if some one wants to have a fag in the bogs then thats upto them...if they get caught then good but i wont go squealing to a steward or write up about it.

No, it is NOT up to them. It is illegal.

"Squealing" is it ? No wonder this country is going to the dogs if people just turn a blind eye to law breaking !

You contradict yourself by saying " I couldn't care bleeding less " then " if they get caught then good "

You can't have it both ways !!

Get off your high horse.........havent you broke the law...fake gear,cheap booze from france.........im more botherd about whats going on on the pitch than somebody who cant wait 80mins for a fag lighting up in the bog.

I was going to get a taxi tonight, but sod it, I'll go in the car, now I know it's not a big deal if I have 8 pints then drive home.

Gawd.....put a reply on jest to liven up a boring friday and get loads of bites.

Hope you do as i would report that.

I couldnt care less.

I only wanted a response form FC Voices but some people just can't help themselves...

As it is my first time at the stadium since the UK smoking ban came into effect it did not even cross my mind about not being able to smoke in the ground.
However i will abide by the rules and survive without a ciggy till i get out of the ground.

Sorry i was bored....i know its against the law and being married to a smoker i know what its like.......but tbh mate...i dont rate FC voices all that much either....have you tried E-mailing Rule.

I thought that would get a bite: lol:

The thing is you can't differentiate between laws. Both drinking and driving and smoking in public places are against the law, but I find it truly amazing how people try to condone one and not the other.

Smoking in a public place might not seem such a big deal, but it is still against the law. The SMC should really be policing this a lot better than they currently are imo. Which is the point the original poster was making.

No apology required quite enjoying the banter. Not contacted JR yet as Liza from FC Voices did say it would be an agenda item. I shall await her response before considering contacting Mr Rule.

Im not condoning it but it doesnt bother me if some bugger was having a fag....think there are other things to worry about than that tbh

I think anyone who smokes in the bogs is evil, passive smoking is a real killer, remember Roy Castle, and think of the kids.

Ban them for life from the KC.

pmsl....law breakers?.....heinous .........bring back the cat

GET A LIFE

Roy Castle smoked cigars

Maybe if there was somewhere for the people to go it wouldnt be an issue.

There are far more important things in life then this shower of $hit thread.

I saw 2 dogs today killed because someone ran them over only i stopped to try and help everyone else was too $%£^ing busy to worry about them.

But carry on making a song a dance about a copule of cigs in a toilet because there is nowhere else for them to go!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get a life!!!!!!!!!!

To many people in this world only give a S%$ about themself.

I bet you dont care where they go to smoke so long as your ok eh!!!!!!

Oh and i don't smoke either but have got half a brain to know that if its bad or not smokers should have somewhere to go FFS its 2 degrees outside at the mo what will it be like late tonight!!!!!!

You lot should get off your high horses, maybe if there was some where for smokers to have a fag then they wouldnt have to sneak around. Me been a god fearing man i would struggle to be as perfect as half of you lot
