Bag Drop Facility

Announced yesterday by Millwall which their club are saying  This also ensures the Club is fully compliant with the incoming Martyn’s Law. This legislation was introduced following the Government inquest into the Manchester Arena attacks and requires that all major venues do all that is reasonably practicable to mitigate against the threat of a terrorist attack.

Also it’s £6 per bag and is at the owners risk

Now what’s the chances something similar is introduced down at the Valley? 

No problem personally with it if it’s priced correctly (Not £6).

    Is it required at the Valley? I thought reasonably sized bags just get a cursory look from from the stewards and then a little yellow tag to show they’ve been checked. Obviously if you’re trying to bring a suitcase in or something that’s a different story.

    Hope not I need to bring a bag to keep my daughter occupied for 90 minutes

    That's why I might start wearing boxers

    One advantages of being diabetic is that I get an exemption/spastic pass for the Wembley bag restrictions. Got one for the upcoming Taylor Swift gig. My daughter’s happy as she can put all the friendship bracelets she’s made for the night in there.

    Thats terrible I sit in the EastStand. Where am I supposed to keep my thermos, folding umbrella, my packa-mac, my travel blanket, my spare thermos, my Tupperware sandwich box, my Kendal Mint Cake, the mylar pouch for my collection match programme, my second match programme for amendments and alterations, my spare glasses, my trainspotter book for the journey home, my travel sweets, travel sickness tablets, my transistor radio for the full time scores, and my Bic pen with the four colour nibs then?.

    It would be particularly convenient for me…..on occasion I come down by train and stay with some friends for a few days in central London, I have a medium sized flight/cabin suit case.
    It would be great to bring the case to The Valley and then pick it up after the game and get the train/tube direct to Kings X without first going to my friends place to pick it up….which is a real pain in the arse.

    Mmmm……after tonight’s cancellation of the Taylor Swift concert In Vienna (terrorist attack plot uncovered evidentially), the tour promoters may well decide to cancel the remaining gigs…..and who could blame them.
    Even if they wished to continue with the tour, the insurance premiums for each venue and all that entails will become astronomical.
    I fancy it would be very hard to find brokers who in turn could find insurers willing to offer cover. 🫤
    By the way…..I hope my comments prove to be groundless.

    Yeah, I’ll be surprised if they go ahead given everything else going on in the UK at the moment.

    I hope so, it's a no brainer and i'm sure will be used frequently.

    What happens if you don't want to give up your bag? Are you refused entry?

    That can’t happen . I’m a type 1 diabetic and have to carry a bag with Insulin with me at all times all be it a small man bag .

    I think the bag drop is just a money spinner. do you see them doing that at a testmatch, one international etc.
    No they will carry on doing the bag searches.

    No, but your bag would be (medical exemptions aside).
