smoking passes are all well and good but you can't exactly leave mid-game to pop outside for a fag can you? at least designated smoking areas would give people the option to smoke whilst watching the game without bothering non-smokers.
If they insist on making people sit down it will also piss off all the people who have to let you get out of their row so you can go and have a fag....
I personally don't like people smoking around me too much, but I think completely banning it is a load of authoritarian crap. If people want to do it then that's their choice.
Agree with that. Personally, I don't smoke unless I stand too near the gas fire.
I dont agree with banning it in the first place. But if it's going to be countrywide thing, well there's not much anyone can do anyway, is there?
I can see people getting well annoyed at having to get up and down during matches so that smokers can get a nicotine fix. Maybe the club could just ban smoking in the ground, full stop. That way no one would have to worry about it anymore and no one would be too inconvenienced apart from those who the ban is aimed at.
If people want to smoke, do it before and after the match.
