I don't see the problem with that, although I'm sure some namby pamby asthma sufferer sitting in row a that never moves at halftime in the 85yrs he's supported the club will complain.

Don't count your chickens.

That wasn't an official vote. That was purely so the board could gauge the fans opinions. IMO I would say it was 95% minimum that voted for a total smoking ban. I wouldn't be surprised if the board come back with option 3, more areas for non smokers

It will happen, it was going to happen anyway, but to give the half time vote to fans was just a way of doing it without the wrath of the fans to face....
 
so how do they decide which blocks become 'smoker's blocks'?

and would fans who have sat in those blocks since the stdium opened but didn't like smoking have to move...even if they didn't want to?


i can't see them doing that, it'll either stay as it is(with them opening the gates to let people out at halftime as someone has already said) or a total ban.
 
It won't stay as it is. I suspect a total ban. If they were to make it a partial ban, it would have to be the blocks surrounding the family stand
 
Of course it will happen. In the UK 70% of the population is now non-smoking. The vote, as I watched, was 70% in favour of a ban - much as I'd imagined. As someone who regularly sets questionnaires, there was a major problem with the 3 questions, as you can't ask 3 questions in order to arrive at a conclusion if the third question interferes with the other 2.
In any survey, those with an axe to grind, who happen to be in the majority, will always win. That's life, folks.
Those who wanted to have a go will always win a survey of public opinion. I hope they're happy. It makes them feel better than others.
How interesting that the Walkers didn't decide that we could all vote on alcohol - the most dangerous socially-acceptable substance known to humankind - or on pies, when Leicester is the most obese city in the UK, but chose the soft option which is -
if you want to get the moral high ground on something we're giving you the fail-safe. Vote out smokers, but not drunks or obesity, because we can be obese and alchoholic, and yet can feel better if we diss those weak enough to smoke.
Nice one.
Enjoy your pies and your choccy. Have five pints before and during the match. But make your point about the weakness of some people, and LCFC will note it and make changes accordingly.
It sickens me. Behind me, Mr and Mrs Snowballs-on-legs whom I've known for 20 years (outside LCFC) decided I shouldn't be allowed to smoke. Their morbid obesity will kill them before my smoking kills me, and the stench of their pies and the grease from the griddle below the stand which fills the air before during and after the match is seriously offensive to someone, like me, with hyper-olfactory reactions - part of the reason why I smoke.
I'm glad that our club has given the 70% their expected victory. I'm sure it makes them feel good about themselves. They are 'clean people' today.
The guy next to me said, 'No offence and nothing personal, but I'm going to vote to ban smoking'. I said, 'It feels personal, OK? I never blow smoke at you. You breathe your halitosis over me all the time. Get your gingivitis sorted.'
Great result. As expected.
What's the next target?

fat people seems like a decent target for banning. i can be honest and say despite having a serious smoking problem (now gone) i managed 2 hours without a tab.....ooh how it nearly didnt kill me. my grandad used to work 10hours down a pit then upon getting into fresh air would light up, what an arse - its amazing that his smoking addiction wasnt an issue while down where he couldnt do it
