Bring bag into stadium

CAFC, We hate Palace

Back in the country and attending Fridays game but will be coming straight from work

Are bags allowed in with laptops etc?

Should be fine mate - they will get checked by Stewards and will have a paper band put round it to show its been checked

ValleyGary

Bags only allowed for Nik Naks.

They have advised to try and not bring bags to speed up the process of getting into the ground, but yeah they're allowed

How else do we bring our flasks and blankets?

I think they only check 1 in every 5 anyway?

25500 attendance, not the same level but at arsenal been a couple of times on a freebie after work with a bag and has taken me 45 mins to get in, with our tight owner i expect the minimum of security he can, i would advise getting to the stadium for 6.45

In my experience they do check them all, but sighing loudly and saying ‘I’ve just been through this’ normally works.

Nope they do tend to check every bag

Just sling a couple of used condoms at the top of the bag and they won’t bother checking.

Hopefully the stewards will not crease your suit when checking your bag at the final mate.

Yes, but pencil cases are banned!

Yeah.  Although there are a couple of things worth pointing out. 

1. It's a sell out, so she'll need her own seat. 
2. Tell her to take the laptop with her when she goes to queue up for a half-time pint for you.

Why make the job harder for then, you think they want to check every bag and it's for your win fucking safety

As long as it's not a pencil case, you should be fine.

Have noticed that bags are searched and 'tagged' when people go into Crossbars - then searched and 'tagged' again when they go through the turnstile - even the kids!

ladywell_addick

Came from work a few times this season with my bag (including gym kit, water bottle, etc) and they just rummaged a little then stuck a tag on it, no bother really

LenGlover

When numbers are smaller stewards often recognise 'regulars' and let them through with a cursory search. I don't take a bag but, like pretty much all women, @Len\'s_little_girl does.

It won't be the case on Friday that they only do a cursory search I'm sure..

Never took the ex-wife to be honest...

I'll be taking a bag as I'm also getting the train straight from work. If I have lots of adult magazines and a selection of marital devices in my bag, will it be confiscated?

Only if @DaveMehmet is the steward

Elfsborg's not going.

In the East stand bags are searched inside the ground so cannot cause queues at the turnstiles.

How does not having to check my bag make their job harder? Not sure what my win fucking safety is but given that I always pack my own bag, I usually feel pretty safe about what’s inside it.

Even the hard terrorists pack there own bags...& I wouldn't want to be standing next to one of them...you wouldn't moan if u were at an airport...so u don't go nightclubs or pubs either,there are some with security that also check bags too...no probs If ya have got nothing to hide...

JaShea99

I’m not moaning here either. Was there a question there?

Crusty54

Presumably they will be checking for flares. Wear them if you must.

Sorry then if misread...but sayin fuckin safety then saying you pack your own bag & "i usually feel pretty safe about what's inside"...sounded like a moan & you didn't agree with it getting searched...

Thanks all
