Ridiculous bag checks today

What's with them?, checked my kids bags going into crossbars (fair enough) put a green tag on it, then the total jobsworth who watched a leave crossbars and walk 10 yards to the turnstyle (with green tags on) actually insisted on searching them again, fully opened and checked.

  • Has happened every home game so far... Asked the guy inside the East Stand why it was being done and quite simply is because of everything going on so cant be too careful.

    Does seem stupid that they still want to check bags despite there being a Green tag on there, does defeat the object a little
  • Not seen it at all this season, especially the labelling of the bags

    so bags double checked yet at the turnstiles 4 lads bumped through with ST Holders unchallenged? so no inflatables smuggled in but you can get to watch the game gratis...

    I also got a pat down as well as having my bag checked... So its not just bags being targeted

    Wife had her back checked against Bristol Rovers / same with me when I took a bag with drink etc. in when we played Northampton

    Will say the Steward was good that I dealt with because he happily ignored by closed bottle of coke rather than insist that I take the lid off etc.

    At least they didn't asks the women to show their Bras like they do at Stevenage !
  • Didn't have my bag checked at all today (East Stand). The only time it has been checked was the first game of the season
  • Asking women at Charlton to lift their tops is too high a risk. If two do it simultaneously, the thuds on the floor would be the equivalent to a richter 4

  • Ffs, If you don't like it, don't take a bag, or don't come to the game.

    How can you complain about bags being checked?

    Not dissimilar to most of the men lifting their tops from what I've seen down there.
  • It's come to something where you can't go to a game without your pencil case and nik-naks being fondled.

    As it happens, it's very good advice
  • 4 wins o the bounce, not a black and white scarf or plastic pig in sight.......what can we slate them for

    I'm not, but twice when it's a 7 year olds bag that the bloke 10 yards away can see has been checked is a bit over the top don't you think!

    I'm reliably informed that you strategically positioned yourself close by for an hour or more in order to check that out Beds and almost missed the kick-off. Clearly over and above the call of duty.
    Good on ya fella!

    Not half as ridiculous as letting some Islamic fanatic get in the ground with a bomb or weapon.

    That's Interesting. Fiiish thinks my post is worth a LOL

    A man is told to check bags, so he checks bags, thats his role. Im sure he doesnt do it for fun or to piss you off. If he fails to check the bag, and instead relies on someone else already having done it properly, then he hasnt done HIS job. People also have been known to put stuff into kids bags for the very reason that the search may be more lenient.

    At the very least I think we should install full body scanners, sniffer dogs, shoe removal, and touch your toes time for anyone who complains.

    Any get their pencil cases rifled?

    That'd be absolute carnage!

    I was felt up today by a Steward. It would have been better if it was a female, but at my age you get it when and where you can.

    I remember on the Danny Baker 6-0-6 the chef who turned up with a full set of knives and cleavers in a roll of fabric, and I think was allowed in. Blimus I miss that show!.

    I think I remember frisking you today. Oh and by the way I'm not actually a real steward but I do agree that you have to get your kicks where you can.
  • After what has happened in the world can't believe people are moaning about having their bags searched. Makes me feel at ease, imagine if a lunatic brought something and bags weren't searched, unbelievable

    They just gave a quick glance with outputting their hands in mine.
  • Wasn't there today but have had vigorous checks on my rucksack each time I've gone to The Valley this season , going in to the family stand .
    They have been more than fair with drinks etc going in to the ground , I'm not buying no shit from you Roly .

    Target 20000 will sack you for comments like that

    To be fair it would have taken 10 minutes to go through the belongings you carry into the ground.
