i was planning on taking a small backpack in with us with some butties and bottles of water.
Looking on the wembley webiste they seem to be banning not only dangerous items like weapons and flares but items they want to sell you inside like softdrinks and food.

Can anybody who's been wembley resently advise weather i'm likely to get water and sarnies taken off us.

Thats bl00dy cr$p.im taking sarnies cos im not being ripped off at wembley no way.

Bottles of water? Not a flask to sneek onto the back of the club coach?

"I bet you're one of those boring ones who doesnt want to drink because you want to have an honest day out "

You can't take food and drink into any grounds. You can't [ieven[/i take bottles of fruit shoot into the HJ.

I thought you could take bottles into the HJ if they've got no lids on?

tell them your skint and diabetic

It's madness isn't it? You're not even allowed to bring your own 17 players to play against another set of 17 players brought in by one of your mates. I still can't believe you have to pay to get in!

It's almost like the entire exercise is some weird sporting/money making hybrid.

You'll be in the ground for around three hours probably. This might seem like a radical idea but...now bear with me...erm...

...can't you eat your butties before you go in then have your tea after you leave?

despite my previous post being deleted you are all subjected to a search once you pass through the turnstyles with is a patting down and a pocket check and bags if you have them

I've not been to the new Wembley but at the old place I was stopped and had things confiscated nearly everytime I went.

Perhaps I could sneak in two mini scotch eggs in my breeches?

I went to see U2 there on Friday and made sure I scoffed a load of butties for tea before I went in there. However we still had small bags with a few biscuits and crisps etc that they seemed to overlook or not bother looking for. Whatever was left in my drink bottle they just poured into a plastic cup for me- not sure if it would be different for a sporting event.
The food is utter overpriced crap in there. My husband rushed from work and had a measly hot dog (if you can call it that- some plain bread and the sausage- no onions and I had to barter to get some mustard and sauce sachets) for £4! £6 with a drink (known as 'the meal deal') Didnt fill the gap and the rest of the menu just seemed to be bloody nachos with topping (didnt even bother to check how much they would rip you off with that rubbish). Didnt notice any draft beer, but carlsberg for £4 a bottle (poured into a cup) seemed to be all that was being served!
My advice, as soon as you get off the train, nip round the corner and there are loads of little takeaways and newsagents where you can get much cheaper food and cold beers (there's also a pub- but london prices!). Bring it over to outside the stadium, have a boozy picnic and take in the atmosphere before going in.
See you there!

Forgot to mention!
They patted down my brothers and my husband but not me! Maybe the girls are the best bet to ram sausage rolls down the pockets. There is a Gregg's nearby!

come on people, it's a rugby event. I WILL take my bottle of pop in, I'm not spending another £5 on a cup of coke when i can spend 47p on a 2 ltr bottle from morrisons. I've spent £120 already, We are in a recession and i have a house too rent
