Probably in case it contained alcohol. Many grounds dont allow bottles brought in even if plastic as full bottle can be used as missile. Most of those will sell bottled water but will put it in a papercup

You've not been allowed to bring your own drink (non alcoholic) into Scottish football grounds since the early 80s - in case you were trying to smuggle booze in. Also, when they sell you a bottle of juice, you don't get to keep the lid in case you use it as a missile.

I once saw a drunk bloke throw his pie but it disintegrated over spectators before it reached the pitch, like a meteor breaking up in the atmosphere but with out the flames, or the spectacular lights, or the noise, or trail that follows, 

OK it was kind of like a pie falling apart.

All these problems must be coming from the THISTLE stewards no the CALEY ones.

I think they travel up from the central belt for the match.

I wonder if they have any seats spare for central belt fans.

As long you don't mind being constantly told to sit down or you get ejected from the minibus.

Out of interest, how  do they steward the crowds at Bundesliga matches?

My late father used to talk about a supposed actual event at Grant Street Park.

The stand-side lineman felt something strike his shoulder, and when he glanced down, he saw something roughly circular on the ground. He assumed it was a pie ... until it started to move off.

Someone had lobbed a live tortoise at him.

Ya beauty! Was that before or after the live greyhound race with Mapples at half time.

On more than one occasion I watched him weave his way into the box... and then fall flat on his face.

Sorry for going off topic here.

Maybe it was being set free.

Or perhaps the pie had festered for so long that it had walked away of its own accord.
