marmite Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Just any opinions, personally it doesnt bother me much and i don't smoke, but with some really young children there, it cant be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Glory Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 It'll be banned from next year would have thought. Even though i do smoke, well before starting up as a kid going to games, the smell of tobacco - particuarly pipe smoke wafting around in the Rovers main stand (if it can be called that) was particulary pleasant and one of the highlights -as the Rovers were getting beaten every game and would soon face near extinction, the only highlights of a visit to BV were off the footy field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okka north Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I think it's more of a question of when it will be banned, not if. Personally, I don't really care either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.B.Yaffle Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I would like it to banned at Bramall Lane. Hull City have already banned it from all parts of their new stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're worried about bad influences on children you wouldn't be letting them watch football surely ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fareast Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I don't think the players themselves should be allowed to smoke whilst playing as that could set a bad example to our nation's young people and children.At half time the players who want a crafty puff could go well away from the stadium, out of sight, as long as they promised to come back of course. As for the crowd, well that's a bit more difficult.They could perhaps section the smokers off into a special area and have a sort of gigantic funnel, above, to carry the smoke away; also they would have to build huge screens to prevent smoking being seen by children under the age of 18 in the non-smoking area. I suppose they could always ask the smokers to stay at home and watch it on the telly. A very difficult problem indeed! ; whichever way they solve this dastardly crisis, they can then turn their attention to football's minor problems i.e.swearing, chanting, fighting, spitting, hugging and kissing on the field,very bad acting on the field, drinking, beef-burgering and onioning and smelly toilets.

marmite Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 If you're worried about bad influences on children you wouldn't be letting them watch football surely ? im thinking more on the topic of passive smoking and health issues, not on the influence of children and smoking. School is bad enough for kids to be pressured into smoking, i dont think a footy match makes a jot of difference, although i find it unpleasant any type of cigarette wafting around near me and im sure young children dont love the smell and taste in the back of their throat.

English Glory Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Of the 'yes' vote it's unclear whether they go to football games anyway. It's not an enclosed space, it's thoroughly open so no theories of passive smoking can be proven in a football stadium. Though, of course, it will be banned anyway.
