Like many supporters, I have taken a flask to most matches for at least the last 30 years.
Showsec security, presumably with the blessing of LCFC, have now decided that flasks are not permitted in the KP stadium.
Yesterday, my bag was inspected and I was told I would not be allowed entry with my flask unless I left it outside the turnstile area.
On querying this, a supervisor was sent for who then apparently called ‘the control room’ and confirmed it was now club policy.
Here is the list of banned articles from the club’s Ground Regulations: The following articles must not be brought within the Ground - knives, fireworks, smoke canisters, air-horns, flares, weapons, dangerous or hazardous items, laser devices, bottles, glass vessels, cans, poles and any article that might be used as a weapon and/or compromise public safety.
Where I left my flask (at 2.15pm) there were at least half a dozen others, yet inside the stadium a guy in a seat behind me had a flask and said security had looked at it inside his bag and said nothing.
The ironic thing is that my flask was bought in the club shop years ago with the club crest stamped on it and the latest version is on sale there.
Don’t bother buying one before the game because you won’t be let into the ground and your new purchase will have to be dumped outside!
