Red Skin Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 **** me, I'm getting old. Never thought I'd be asking this question but what's the attitude to taking a flask into the ground? Is this allowed or does a thermos of lukewarm coffee constitute a lethal weapon in these times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 I bring in a steel flask of hot Ribena almost every winter game. Never had a problem, usually have a joke with the Stewards about it. I’ve never been asked to open it but would have no problem doing so and proving that’s all it is. It’s only Ribena as I share it and it’s the only hot drink we agree, on Tea Vs Coffee!

Red Skin Posted July 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 @BobBobSuper Bob!! @RedM @Mr Popodopolous Also, any problem with flasks at away grounds? My gut instinct is to not bother in case it get taken off me. I'll be taking in the stainless steel version that can be used for hold or cold. The kind you'd use for walking or cycling.

I've always been told to remove the top from a plastic bottle of water. The reasoning is that a container full of water, if thrown, can cause injury.

Always bring a flask to Home games in as one of us is Lactose intolerant. Also I object to the cost of the Tea & coffee (but particularly the tea) and sometimes I will bring soup on a particularly cold day. However I don't for away games as many such as Birmingham have airport style restrictions on the amount of liquid you can take into the ground. Same as some grounds remove the tops of of your bottle (so I always take a spare one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Never attempted at an away ground. Very much doubt if you would get in with it, unless you look particularly old or frail and they might take pity on you, I don’t really qualify for either You all might laugh, but on a cold winters night me and my Ribena are happy And no, I’ve never tried bringing in a blanket.

wendyredredrobin Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Been taking a flask in the really cold weather to the gate on and off for 52 years now. Never a problem. Sometimes contains coffee and occasionally hot soup on the coldest of days. Plastic or metal, big ones and small ones - no issues. Never taken one to an away game though. Never taken booze into the ground though. May try a couple of shots of Irish in my coffee this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
