A quote from Rod Studd's Twitter account today

"I was really looking forward to watching Wakey this afternoon until I was prevented from entering the ground and ejected for drinking coke".

Are we the only club the stewards enforce this drinks rule ?? Looks again for us.

What is the point of preventing people taking open plastic bottles into the ground. I struggle to see what the benefit is of this restriction, I say again we are not a football club.

Which is it Rod, how can you be ejected from the ground if you are refused entry in the first place, two Wire fans in front of me at the turnstile both with a bottle of coke had no problem getting in despite two stewards in attendance, perhaps your still traumatised from your botched interview with Brian McDermott on Thursday night

Poor Rod. Right up there with Kate Aidey.

Was the problem really with the coke or was it because it was in a can?

A lad behind us in the queue had a bag full of bottles of coke, crisps and sweets. The security bloke asked to have a look in his bag and all he said was "you're well prepared aren't you' and he followed us through.

So why do some seemingly get thrown out with a bottle and others have no problems with whatever? Is it different staff acting differently or is it the attitude of those searched or ....?

My mate walked in with an unopened bottle of water in his hand and didn't get questioned about it by any of the 2 stewards on the gate.

Or some people simply determined to make a bit of mischief where ever possible.

Do you all take your own drinks to the pub as well?

Perhaps the steward couldn't tell what his complaint was because all he could hear was endless wittering with poor diction whilst transfixed by the permanent ball of spit in the corner of his mouth and the expression that said, "haven't I just said something really smart".

Ah Rod Studd. If tomorrow I became the producer on Sky he'd be out the door probably before Stevo and Eddie. Awful pundit or whatever he is. Just seems to be making a mountain out of a mole hill (again).

Although this doesn't apply to Rod, as he was probably using a press pass, but we are a poorly supported club who seem to prefer to alienate people willing to spend £22 to get in so that we can make 20p profit on a can of pop once inside.

On the other hand, we must also be one of the few sets of fans who put more stock in having a picnic inside as opposed to watching rugby.

As I see it, its more to do with open cans/bottles, maybe to stop spirits being consumed

You all say it's only Stubbs but whatever you may hope he is still part of the media and to alienate them with this stupid restriction will do us no good in the long run. I would remind some of you it was the same restriction that lost the club and forum one moderator and their family.
