looks as though we could have a fully non-smoking ground at some point in the near future  :?

HURRAH!

shut it

whatever

If they play better football and weren't so fucking frustrating I wouldn't need to smoke at football

Great news.

fucks sake :-))(

Smokings just so ridiculous, theres no reason to do it.

That is totally unfair! Where does it say in the F.A. Rules that players CAN'T have a fag during the game!?

It's political correctness gone mad!! :wink:

I blame those fucking flag tearing darkies.

Fuck knows what Spacey will do :D  he chain smokes through most games

smoking is  a matter of choice.if you are sat next to someone chuffing away blowing smoke in your face it takes the choice away.
i will welcome a ban. only the weak minded and stupid smoke anyway!

and the cool dudes...never forget the cool dudes.

oh yeh those hard looking ones,and the lovely ladies.
yuk!

or you could sit in the already designated non-smoking area or simply just go sit somewhere else.

why should the non smokers have to move?
its anti social, stinks, and kills you give up!
cant wait for the ban at at stfc and in pubs.fucking marvellous

Your right. The smokers should move to the smoking section

Anyone who starts trying to tell me to give up smoking can seriousley fuck off.

I can do what I like to my own body and I genuinley dont care what it does to yours.

so fuck off.

Here here!

Less concerned about it at football, but I can't wait for it to be banned in pubs.

When it is banned in pubs I will stop going to pubs.  A pint without a fag just isn't the same.  Of course, it wouldn't stop me going to the CG, but god help people sat with me if we are not playing well!

feel free to kill yourself slowly but why should others be affected by the stench?

yes you can actually taste your drink its great

I suffered from someone else drinking.  He threw me down concrete stairs.  I had 10 stitches above my eye.  Ban drinking everywhere, innocent people get hurt.

Just to make a point through exaggeration.  Its a true story though.

I simply dont care about your oh-so-delicate nostrils.

The difference is that person was breaking the law.  Causing violence due to drinking is already quite banned I think :wink:

and thats the sad truth and why it will be banned in all public places in nthe future.

excellent point there. What was it again?

So are you in favour of anything you dont like the smell of being banned arriba?

Chinese food?  Portaloos? certain brands of perfume?

I'm a reformed smoker but I would never support a total smoking ban in football grounds.

On the point of giving up I know full well it is hard to do and it is a matter of free will BUT I would point out the cash saving involved.

After I gave up I was able to buy two new cars and go skiing every winter. (Yes... I smoked A LOT!!!).

not neccesarily a good thing, do you actually want to be able to taste watered down lager?

i don't like the smell of b.o. but i wouldn't ask the club to ban smelly people from entering a football ground.

I would, nothing worse than sitting next a stench for over 90 minutes. especially in the hotter months.

so would i,infact that is worse than fag smoke stench.
ban minging bath dodgers now!
tounge firmly in cheek

i say ban grumpy old men like arriba.

I say ban hippies and socialists.

i wouldn't come home stinking of the above against my will though would i ?
no comparison in my opinion

Possibly, if some ugly wench wearing pungent perfume had tried to get you into a portaloo at a concert after bumping into you next to a Chinese food stall?

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

and gloryholes

i agree and support the bring back prohibition campaign

I went to the England match at the Madjeski and they wouldn't let me smoke in the stadium, they open the gates 10 mins after kick off if you want to go for a cigarette. It was fucking shit.

Come on, like any woman is going to approach a miserable old cunt like arriba? :soapy tit wank:

Thats just unrealistic. :mrgreen:

In the past i've had a season ticket behind chain smokers and it does tend to get fucking annoying. Wouldn't have any problem with a ban myself.

I don't smoke, and I can only remember once when I've been bothered by a smoker sitting directly in front of me.

It was the Brighton play-off game at the CG, and I was sitting directly behind Andy "chain cigar smoking' King.

Would he have been banned from smoking if the rule came in?

I really have no problems if they ban it, and I really don't care if they don't ban it.

Yeah ban it.

I've given up for 9 months, so I would say that wouldn't I???

I gave up almost 3 months ago and towards the end of the season I had a bloke in front of me who chain smoked. It made me realise just how much it does stink, it acctually made me feel sick by the second half. I counted one game and he smoked 14 fags. I dont nescesarily support a total ban but also dont really want to sit next to or near to someone who smokes to that extent, I certainly didn't, I had 4/5 at most.

What a fucking joke, football is all about Tradition, you should be able to enjoy a beer and a smoke if you want. This is coming from a non smoker.

Dirty habbit, but it has a place in football!

piss off

I smoke, but don't during games when people are sat crammed in next to me because the smoke blows in people's faces etc and it's just inconsiderate and it's not like they can get up and move away (well, they could, but seems a bit harsh they should have to move cos I want to smoke). But, then I make up for it by chainsmoking at half-time in the concourse! Smoking ban in the stands is one thing, but in the concourse as well would just be inhumane.

It'll happen though, whatever we want - it's all part of the sanitisation of football. Couple of years, there'll be no-swearing sections, then an all non-swearing stadium. F**k, I'm starting to sound like Reg!

So does fighting and racial abuse.....

NMH 'Allen Carr's #1 fan'

I don't smoke.

I'm not fussed whether people smoke at football matchs or not. The amount of 2nd hand smoke I've breathed in makes smoking at football irrelevant.

My earliest memory going to watch Swindon is entering the Arkels with the smell of cigarettes everywhere! It's a nostelgic thing I'm quite fond of!  :shock:

We're entering the world of 'family club football' and therefore expect a ban on smoking.

I generally dont have a problem with it...but then no one sits by me so I dont get much second hand smoke.

However there was two occasions I think this season when a guy was smoking a cigar....now that fucking stank out the whole stand....that should be banned!

but that prick left before xmas didn't he?

Arribas right, you have to be weak-minded to smoke.

Ban it!

a thorougly well reasoned argument there fatbury

couldnt give a flying fuck

Agreed! :D

I think a smoking area would be better, and more fair. Personally, I dislike smoking, it does not really repulse me though but it does piss me off when someone smokes in your face especially when there are young children around as that to me suggests they are arrogant and really could'nt give a monkeys.

TBH I would not be suprised if alot of our fans smoke, we do support swindon town after all :-))(

I'm not getting involved here. I've already started it with some stupid fucking cuntface on thisis.

:nuts:

 :wanker:

I'm a seasoned non-smoker and I couldn't give a toss. So long as smokers show some consideration to those around them, let them be.

I've been in enough pubs and inhaled more second-hand smoke on my free will than I care to imagine. Not that I would be happy if I was sat near to someone blowing smoke in my face though.

They should have thought about it a year ago.............Iffy could have replaced King in August.
