ROAR!!!

You didn't make the faux pas of not using emoticons. You made the faux pas of having no wit whatsoever and taking the suggestion that watching a Rugby League team was like watching the Beatles seriously. You then followed this up with a mega bite. You then made another one by not understanding what irony means and then you finished it off by claiming that you were being ironic.

You're right about one thing though - life is too short. Stop taking yourself and life so seriously and take your medicine.

Ground Rules

[i"With the exception of authorised press representatives holding official passes, the taking of photographs or cine/video photography inside the ground is prohibited."[/i

Was anyone planning on bringing a camera? Don't know whether to take mine now?

This is a generic regulation in all stadia due to copyrights, you'll be ok with a personal camera ie a non SLR type. I doubt the thousands of Man city fans were denied capturing their own personal memories the other weekend! Besides how many of us carry phones with camera's integrated!

reading through the posts, am i right in thinking you can leave the stadium, after the 1st game, but only stay within the grounds, (city square), but not allowed to walk back to manchester city cente then back to the ground for the hull derby?

Some of these stadium rules are a joke!

Q: Can I bring bags, rucksacks or suitcases?
A Luggage items larger than A4 size are not permitted into the stadium for security reasons. Appropriate discretion will be used for ladies' handbags, baby changing bags, etc. which will be subject to the standard security checks

So does anyone actually have a bag thats A4 size? Or can anyone lend me a Sport Billy bag to put my kids jumpers,jackets,ipod,suncream,hats and sunglasses in. I wonder what they do on city matchdays when people use the clubshop do they supply special bags?

You can go wherever you like, on or off the stadium premises as far as I can tell.


As long as you're not taking in a suitcase or one of those huge hiking bags then I can't see it being a problem.

Both Cardiff and murrayfield had the same "no food" stipulation in their t&c's but did not enforce it

Can't see how that could be enforced. City square isn't enclosed

I wish folk would stop sensibly answering these questions and allow me to invoke my right as an RFL to GET REALLY ANGRY AND SAY THAT IT'S A FARCE.

Weather will be too warm. Risk of heat exhaustion. Been saying it for years but we really ought to switch back to winter rugby.

Anyone know if drums can be taken in?

Only after they've been smashed on their owner's head and pulled down over their shoulders to prevent them moving their arms.

P.S. I don't like drums.
