mirrorcarp Posted 1 October, 2013 Author Share Posted 1 October, 2013 Serious enquiry mirrorcarp. I'm very pleased common sense has prevailed - does this mean hip flasks( containing alcahol ) are allowed in the ground or did the club say we will let you off this time but no more hip flasks ? Those cold winter nights will be here very soon. I think its fair to say that hip flasks containing anything are not a good idea.Scones however are fine.

bristolsaint29 Posted 1 October, 2013 Share Posted 1 October, 2013 Don't you believe it. As kids we used to throw tops off Vic bottles over the top of a hous and cath them when the wind blew them back. Strangely this is something I have never done, although we did used to fling cowpats over hedges at people using a spade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint-ross Posted 1 October, 2013 Share Posted 1 October, 2013 Good to hear Mirrorcarp! would have been horrific for the decision to go the other way. Out of interest, did they give back the 50% match fee? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horley CTFC Saint Posted 1 October, 2013 Share Posted 1 October, 2013 OK poll needed, who thinks our intrepid flask swigger squealed on his neighbours when faced with the torture of a nice cuppa and a 2 match ban ? I'm guessing the deal is that he has to have a nose job to stop any future confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsland Codger Posted 2 October, 2013 Share Posted 2 October, 2013 You might have done nothing that you consider wrong but the owner of the flask has committed a crime, you want your ticket back, name and shame, that's my advice to you. National Legislation The Government has introduced a series of legislative measures to combat hooliganism. The following types of behaviour have been made a criminal offence: Entering a stadium when drunk or in possession of alcohol Possession of a firework, flare or other pyrotechnical device Possession of alcohol on trains and/or coaches when travelling to a football match Throwing any object at or towards the pitch or spectator areas Entering the pitch without lawful excuse Indecent or racist chanting Ticket touting Those of us who travel to a football match by boat are pleased to read we are not covered by the legislation. What an odd law - I wonder which bright spark thought that one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry the Badger Posted 2 October, 2013 Share Posted 2 October, 2013 I assume that one about the trains is just so that if some idiot gets ******ed and causes trouble, they have something to pin on him easily. Would like to think they'd never enforce it if you're just having a can with your mates on the way to a game. That said, I don't suppose the "no drinking in sight of the pitch" law was designed to allow stewards to throw out somebody taking a couple of sips from a hip-flask.

Dimond Geezer Posted 2 October, 2013 Share Posted 2 October, 2013 It always makes me laugh when you can take a bottle in but not the top. I don't think that's the case anymore. We usually take bottles of Coke in with us (£2 for 2, about half the price of one at St Mary's), and the Stewards doing the bag search have never had a problem with it.

Cascadia Saint Posted 3 October, 2013 Share Posted 3 October, 2013 Well for all of you that have followed the thread i thought i would come on and give you the outcome. Jury Verdict ......... NOT GUILTY I am free to go ,ticket returned so there is no need to protest on sunday with your "Free the hipflask 1" tee shirts. I will keep the details private but all i will say is that the people at the club that have dealt with the matter have been superb to me and been very fair. So if anyone would like to shake my hand i will be with the noisy,roudy, drunken mob having it large in the stadium on sunday. UP THE SAINTS Genuinely happy for you mate! Did the honesty approach work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirrorcarp Posted 3 October, 2013 Author Share Posted 3 October, 2013 Being serious for a minute. My advise for anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation is bite your lip, don't react, stay calm and co operate. Its hard to do but you gotta see the bigger picture. Remember mist things are on CCTV so if you have been treated harshly as I believe I was you will be ok.,and for the record there has not been any dobbin in.

Remember mist things are on CCTV so if you have been treated harshly as I believe I was you will be ok.,and for the record there has not been any dobbin in. Just to clarify. You say "not guilty" -does that mean that the club agreed that you were not drinking alcohol? Or, was this a case of you admitting a fair cop and pleading for leniency?

mirrorcarp Posted 3 October, 2013 Author Share Posted 3 October, 2013 The only way to prove somebody is drinking alcohol is to confiscate said item unless of course its obviously a can of beer or something.I used the term not guilty because it felt like i was on trial waiting for a verdict. Its quite interesting though which is why this thread has had so many posts. Would this have happened had i took a swig from an evian bottle laced with vodka. Other people have stated on here that bottle tops are often not removed. At the end of the day, right or wrong the only way to be sure is stick to the £4 plastic bottles of carling that we all love so much and drink em in the concourse, thats certainly what i will be doing from now on.

cryoman1965 Posted 3 October, 2013 Share Posted 3 October, 2013 Glad to hear you were found not guilty and you believe there was no dobbing in. I met a guy today who knows of you and the people who sit close by. He wouldn't' mention any names but he over heard the guy with the long hair who waves it back like the women on the silverkrin hairspray advert saying, he should get a ban, then there would be more room as the big guy takes up too much space. He said something about a bear but this guy reconed he was just big bugger. The guy with the really white trainers agreed, he was fedup standing in the aisle. there is also a bloke who looks mental and is on loads of medication.He is always doing hand gestures and is not sure wether they are at you or the players, but i don, t think any of out players are wayne kerrs so i who knows. I think you were set up and actually the people who sit near you take this pee behind your back. Oh well enjoy the same Sunday. And enjoy your £4 bottle of pish.

None of the gang doing too well to be honest,we are all absolutely bloody devastated. Dunno if you read this thread but when them stewards threw me out that was the last time i ever saw him so missed our last ever after match pint.There will be a great big saints crest made of red and white flowers next friday to see him off. Hope you and lisa are doing ok. The saints have lost another special fan, For those of you curious we are talking about the legend that was Truckasaurus on the Skate takeover thread ,sadly passed 6th october aged 47.

Loud and boisterous he could drive you mad but he had a heart of gold. Football will never quite be the same again for our group. 25 years watching the saints together he will leave a huge hole.

Barry the Badger Posted 13 October, 2013 Share Posted 13 October, 2013 We only met him that once but I can tell you all the lads I was with that day will be genuinely gutted to hear that. He was a bloody legend on that bus in both directions! The bay city rollers song has stuck with us and we've sung it at a few away games. I also remember him throwing bits of his kebab at the baying Pompey crowds shouting "you look hungry you dirty skate b*******!", was probably funnier at the time than written down! We were gutted about the result but spent the entire bus home laughing our heads off because of him, which is why he's stuck in the memory so strongly.
