I am an addicted smoker and find it uncomfortable to go 1 hour 45mins + without a fag. I'm sure many other fans are the same. Could we have a smoking area so that those of us with this problem, could at least get a fag at half time.

As far as I understand it, I cannot leave the stadium at half time for a fag and come back in.. This is daft, if I go to see a play at Eden Court I can.. I'm a paying customer, what I do in the break and where I go, is surely up to me. Why can I not do so at TCS?

Do other clubs provide an area??

It may be selfish, but I don't want the person sitting next to me going for a smoke and coming back reeking of stale smoke.

Realistically, if the person sitting next to you is a smoker they will prob smell a bit of stale smoke anyhow (whether they go for a fag or not). I don't like the smell of booze on a person. Since I stopped drinking it's really obvious to me. Should we ban that as well, after all drinkers cost the NHS ?millions in hospital visits each year ?? Not to menton the crime that often is associated with drunken behaviour.

Perhaps you should stay in your house, close all the windows and wrap yourself in cotton wool so you don't ever have to risk being subjected to car fumes and the reak of stale smoke.

I will also bet if it was a attractive young busty blond smoker who was sitting beside you at TCS and she wanted to snog you, you would have no objection.

I wouldn't worry about that, someone who cant go without a cigarette for 2 hours probably reeks anyway,

CALEYD has made a very valid and reasonable point if you really need to smoke at half time give the club ?100 for the privilege,

When you take off free parking,free halftime pie and drink plus other perks how little is it really costing you.

I would like to buy a pre match drink at the stadium or the occasional late lunch. If I gave the club ?100, I could do that too.

I wouldn't expect someone to moan that they want a dram,food, free parking or bus, free halftime p&b etc at the ground but don't want to pay the ?100.

So the same applies to smoking.

Take it you're a paid up member then?

Sorry to disappoint you Kiltarlity but I wouldn't exchange tongues with a smoker no matter what she looked like..... and at my age I'm even less fussy than I used to be :003: :003: :004: :011: :lol:

Realistically, I hope you don't sit beside me but If you do I don't drink before a game so you will not smell drink on me. Snog is such an old fashioned word, but to answer your question, no I would not.

Sitting here with my windows firmly closed.

This is a sports stadium which lots of impressionable children attend.

What kind of example would smokers be giving to these young football fans?

Why should we be poisoned by smokers disgusting fumes?

Smoking should be definately banned from all of the ICT owned area incluing the area outside the stadium!
