What makes you think it won't attract people to watch in a smoke free zone?

Surly the club could provide a smoking area like at the stoop. Most public ares provide a smoking area, pubs, clubs, restaurants even airports. TWO hours watching wakefield can seem like a week end on some occasions and a cig now and then helps to get you through the game. I for one will resist the temptation to visit and keep my 22 quid firmly anchored in my pocket, the club received 5 x 22 quids last season from me and a total of 88 quid from family members that came with me.
If you really want to sell the club for a quid I can think of better places to make the announcement . Maybe a share offer for a quid would be a better option.'"
I don't need to make a share offer do I? I've just offerred you the whole thing for a quid?

4 changes since buying a Platinum membership, not big ones but changes all the same.

If you aren't happy with your platinum package, come and see me at work and I'll sort it with you??

| M C i think it would be wise to take an hour or 2 off and away from the forum. If you would rather make scant remarks than offer a solution , then crack on. I repeat if you want to sell the club for a quid there's better places than the forum. No i dont want to buy the club for a quid with a quid back in cash, but i would like to keep attending BV and have a cig or two in a smoking area. If it aint possible then so be it, I will not be attending and spending my cash. I also work 80+ hrs a week and away from home and used to look forward to my trips to BV.
Chill

| For crying out loud. If not being able to have a cancer stick for 2 hours and stand where you've always stood since god was a lad due to segregation at certain games,when trouble has accurred in the past,then there's no way you'll ever be happy.My mum moans at everything as well and here's me thinking she was the only one Oh and by the way thank you MC,for all you've done for this great club of ours.

I've tried other places, sky sports news for example, and still no one will come forward. What does that tell you?
As regards not coming if you can't smoke, so be it. That is entirely your prerogative to do so.
As an aside, do you get paid for your. 80+ hours? And do you also have people moaning at you, about every decision that is taken, if it's not to their exact requirements and liking?

I think something like this will get easier to introduce in time. The younger generation are used to not being able to smoke where and when they like so by not being able to for a few hours won't be a big deal, which, all things put into perspective it's not.

As another non smoker it does affect me. I don't have to put up with other peoples emmissions.
Sponsored nicotine patches for the weak willed?

| Tough times call for cool heads.
Folk taking their bat home because they can't have a smoke and the "I've been stood on this crumbling piece of concrete for 30 years and I'm not moving" brigade don't help. MC put his money in when no one else would so let him get on with it.
Michael please don't rise to the bait on here. You've communicated well on the forum dispute my initial reservations about being dragged into a scraps so please don't let folk wind you up re smoking policy.
This forum is one of the most negative places I visit coming a close second to the idiots who post on the Facebook page. I doubt most of them have ever been to a game. One thing I'm learning as I get older is if you are positive surround yourself with as many positive people as you can. From my recent dealings with the club you seem to have these positive people at BV.
On a humorous note one of my favourite Trinity myths is the three businessmen waiting in the wings for Ted and Jimmy to leave together with the proposed signings of Jason Robinson and Jonah Lumu at a time when the club didn't have a pot to in.

| Thought the Jason Robinson tale was true, didn't we get a £5,000 fine for tapping him up?

The most expensive non signing Trinity ever made after Vince Mellars.

I heard an interesting take on that saga not so long ago that I had never heard before.
Allegedly as we were a club with money at the time (or at least everyone thought we were thanks to a certain Mr Pearman) the RFL encouraged us to approach him to keep him out of the clutches of Rugby Union.
Then they proceeded to fine us for doing so.
There must be a bit of that story missing and maybe the person who told me might enlighten people further because it doesn't appear to make much sense to me.

| So many people just seem to want to moan. If it's not the new league structure, it's the change of KO time or segregation and now the smoking ban. I would just urge all those fans who are "considering walking away" to rethink. We have a great club with a great history and now, for the first time in years, the prospect of a great future with dedicated people running the club in a businesslike fashion in a new stadium. Come on Trin fans - grow some gonads. After all, who will walking away hurt?
