Its one of the most stupid decisions they have made in recent times. I will of course continue to come and support the team but i spoke to quite a few people who will not be returning due to a number of things.

It makes no sense why you cant smoke in such an open space, you are out in the open. The way the stewards were speaking to smokers was down right rude which didn't help the situation either.

Supporters will not stop smoking! All that will happen now is people will start smoking in the stands and in the toilets.

I would strongly suggest they re visit this decision and stop aggravating their loyal supporters who pay good money to watch in my opinion.... a very average team this year.

First, it was the no changing ends, then smoking ban.

What next to alienate fans? Swipe Cards, mandatory Hi-Vis vests for spectators?

If we are going to be stuck in the lower leagues for the forceeable future I suggest the directors buy Ovenden Park, build a Stand and a temporary Golf Stand and move there. HUGE catchment area too!

Smoking stunts your growth. Do you really want to be as small as me? Trying to peek at the pitch through all the giant people that I stand behind.

Don't worry Rich, you can get on my shoulders next time, cant have you missing the game. Mind you, smoke rises and could get in your eyes!

I gave it up. I thought I'm not paying 50p a packet for cigs.

A tanner apiece ? Ridiculous !!
