It's not another gazebo with trestle tables is it?

I can't understand why people can't do without a fag for 2 hours. I think medical help should be sought by these individuals who are so afflicted.

The same could be said for those who can't go to a football match without having a pint.

With regard to those needing help for wanting a ciggie and a pint at a football match its more habit. If you have been attending football matches practically all your life then suddenly your part of the occasion (for some) are taken away its a bit of a culture shock when you cant carry on these things after x amount of years.

.

Get outside and weed up ya smelly ******

For those of you who have never smoked, tobacco creates both a chemical and neurological addiction. For anyone to say that smokers should be able to go through 2 hours without a ciggy, is just plain wrong.

As an ex-smoker, I know just how difficult it is to not smoke at a time when you have always smoked in the past.

I feel that this problem should be quickly sorted, so that smokers can have a cigarette in a designated, open-air area.

Smoking has been banned in all indoor public places - except the House of Commons!! A case of double standards if you ask me.

Unnoficially there will be one.
Just don`t talk about it.
It`s not allowed.

You`ve obviously never smoked or you wouldn`t have come out with that
comment.

I like probably the vast majority of smokers can go a long time without a cigarette, but that wasn`t my reason for starting the thread, my points were.
1. We were told that arrangments would be made for smokers, but they havn`t.
2.How come it was ok to smoke in an area for one game but now its not ?

I can only see that by not providing smokers with the oppertunity to have a cigarette is yet another negative move by the club and will not do them any favours in trying to attract more people to the FES

It's a strange one this smoking ban, my understanding is that the ban applies in any enclosed areas, now, you can't say a football pitch is an enclosed area.... so it may be possible for smokers to have a fag at half-time if they congregate around the center circle..(just an idea)

That's where they have you, you're not allowed on the pitch!!!

It's a fair point, smoking is banned on aeroplanes but nobody gives up there holiday abroad because of this. My mate's a heavy smoker (i don't mean he's fat and smokes) and he can manage well enough.
