    I’m not moaning here either. Was there a question there?
    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...
    Oh. No, the previous poster said something about winning safety. I was just saying I usually claim it’s already been searched to save time and hassle.

    I think you'll find that was a mistype and meant to read your own safety

    That makes a bit more sense.

    Very hot day. Just for some quick help and clarity. Are you able to take water bottles and food into the ground? It appears that you can take a laptop sleeve, so that's handy to know as will be coming from work.

    I don't want to dehydrate tonight and wait 45 minutes for a bottle of water which ends up being water/lager/cider. Cheers!

    Thought a lot venues were moving towards a bag no larger than A4 in hight and width. I did get the water bottle top confiscated at Wembley but they let the liquid through.

    Plastic bottle tops were confiscated on Saturday so bring a spare.  Metal water bottles were ok with their tops.

    I followed the links to gov.uk when mentioned in another thread and found that no maximum bag size is specified.  In fact, each venue has to decide its own appropriate security measures.

    I took a rucksack in on Saturday with food in it.  If you have water bottles they will take the lids.

    What are we even doing at this point? Can't trust people with tiny plastic bottles caps but you are welcome to bring in a metal bottle full of water which makes it heavier?

    Presumably, due to the number of incidents a couple of seasons ago of people throwing plastic bottles from the Upper Tier into the Lower hitting fans & also on to the pitch.

    I’m guessing the logic is that if you’ve brought your own metal bottle from home, your unlikely to throw it and I can see the logic.

    I’m not aware of any thrown bottles since tops were removed.

    Possibly also why the catering is so poor because they are reluctant to hand out hundreds of bottles?

    Tops off is actually more a safety thing,not so much about the bottles being thrown as that can happen anyway…the reason the tops are taken off is because people leave them all over the floor,if u stand on one with the lid on you skip/fall if the lid is off it crush”s 9 times out of 10 so less likely to hurt ya self…

    Lids are taken off for safety. A full bottle thrown is enough to cause injury if it hits someone.

    You're not very likely to throw a flask that you've purchased.

    Went to The Libertines gig on Saturday and all the drinks were being served in cans. Me and my mate were getting two at a time to save queueing but the guy serving opened all four when we paid. I asked why and he was like "they're less dangerous if you throw them while open". At £7 a can i was hardly likely to lob it at someone, but I get the logic.
