For what ever reason, the Mrs has decided that she want's to take enough food to feed an army to the magic games today.

I have said to her that I would have thought that you wouldn't be allowed to take anything into the ground food or drink wise, can anyone confirm this?

My mate said last year lads were walking in with cases of ale.

Regarding soft drinks I always take Capri-Sun (other sachets of drink are available) therefore removing the risk of having bottles confiscated. No stadium I have been to have had an issue with them yet.

Last year you were allowed to take pretty much anything, apart from bottles [plastic or glass] into the ground.

This year things heave changed couldn't even take my capri sun in, well they let me have three of them. I'm obviously very dangerous when I'm hydrated. They also confiscated my weapon like sandwich in either. I'm intrigued to know who has instigated these rules because a letter will be written.
Are the teams only allowed to being a small amount of liquid into the ground with them too?

a mate who is on route there has asked if theres a bookies there. anybody know ?

8/11 Yes.
6/4 No.

haha, most prem grounds do, im just not sure

I went out through the re-entry gate and crossed to Asda, bought some stuff and went back in without them checking my bag. Perhaps that is the way to do things.

Was told that the "ban" on food and drink was brought in by the stadium as they lost so much revenue last year when the weather was glorious and that one 500ml bottle max is the official rule.

Personally I think.....pillocks!

its not like your just in for an hour or so its 6-8 hours at extortionate prices, if you carnt take stuff in, letters should be written, and l certainly wont go again, l do not like being ripped off

Yeah one game you can take those prices, two days full of games and no thanks

Think the best letter will be to your club and the RFL pointing out that unless the rules change folk will start to stay at home

As you can go in & out of the stadium, what's the problem?!

A Manchester City employee was on skysports news on friday saying that last year's Magic Weekend generated more cash from refreshment sales than any other event previously held at the stadium (pop concerts and football matches). So which is true? Personally I think they're just looking to cash in on fans who are there for 6-8 hours on a sunny day, not to break even.

Only this. Got told by some smug looking jobsworth p***k at the turnstile that it was "Rugby League Rules" Absolute garbage. Just trying to find a way to rip us off by forcing us to by food and drink inside the stadium.

No food, only a bottle of water allowed. We ended up walking out and coming back and got it all in anyway.
Gets my back up cos if you bring your kids with you who are going to be hungry you get treated like this but its great to get beered up all day and maybe cause trouble as long as the tills are ringing for them.
