Quote: hi de hi "With respect that is my point. Move where and how many times? What you are indirectly saying seems to be is 'if you don't like smoking, lump it or don't come to odsal'

I don't think it would be so much of a drama to allocate the small triangle of terracing under the touch down for non smokers, and that way everyone is happy.'"


In that respect tho why should the thousands of supporters that have been standing in the same place move to where they dont wanna stand, and vice versa for the smokers really ??

Youd just be going round in circles really, because if they ban smoking people might not go, and if they dont people will get annoyed with it and stop going ??

Quote: Terrace singer "Ok from your point of view, your saying you don't want to move because of smokers... Correct?

Ok from my point of view, why should we move because non-smokers don't want us standing there?'"


No i am saying i don't mind where i stand as long as there is a small section of our 21,000 capacity terrace which is for none smokers!
A section which would hold maybe 1,000 people would be ample, and is not too much to ask in this day and age. This would leave 20,000 spaces on the terrace for people to smoke themselves to death if they so wish.
Hardly an unreasonable request i would say.

She (Im Assuming) is not saying you should stop smoking you dumb a** although i would suggest to stop smoking mens sausage icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

Just a suggestion to allow a section of the terrace for non-smokers

Ok look at it this way then, this 'section for non-smokers' what if smokers have been standing there for 20 years? Why should they have to move?

But it's ok for me to have to move five times in one match!
You are obviously incapable of reasonable argument.
Anyhow i thought you were going back to watch Bradford City so it won't be an issue for you anyway as you will be at Valley Parade.
As i said 1,000 non smoking spaces out of a 21,000 capacity terrace hardly seems unreasonable.

Personally in this day and age you should be banned from smoking in there due to Health & Safety icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

But............... Also in this day and age quite a big percentage of the population tend to smoke so its a hard rule to enforce

What research is this based on?
The fact of the matter is wherever you stand you can breath in smoke, so a small section of non smoking terracing shouldn't be a problem should it?
Or would you prefer it if i stopped attending matches as i have only been watching the Bulls since 1994.

Who said anything about research??

I think you will find there is a slight difference between prediction and research.

Just a quick question, how many of the people you go with/talk to, at the bulls smoke?

Those smokers are doing their bit for the UK economy during hard times.

What are you contributing? You'll still want NHS treatment if you need it but you want to dictate where the smokers who are paying for it stand for a cig. Typical sponging Non-smokers and T-totallers a026.gif

Is Smoking at Odsal that big of a deal? People have the freedom to enjoy a cigarette etc and i have never been that bothered by someone smoking as to want a section for them. Segregation of smokers and non smokers is not a good idea as it would mean that they would have to move which noone should be asked to. The solution is tolerate it, which you should be able to do as it is not like these people are blowing directly into your face (plus Odsal is very areated due to the lack of a roof so your discomfort should not last long.) or politiley ask them to not to blow the smoke in your area.

It only takes one person to be stood within a short distance to be affected, so the actual percentage of the crowd is irrelevant.

What is your answer to the situation?
Should there be a small section set aside for non smokers, or shall i stop attending, or would you prefer me to partake in passive smoking?

Correct, when I do have a cig at odsal, I always blow the smoke up in the air, its not as if I lean over and blow it in the faces of the people in front/ to the side of me, and to be fair a lot of other smokers will do the same.
