All the terraces entrances had barriers restricting entry to one person at a time. This combined with ticket checks will mean we all need to leave more time on 5th April to go about our normal business once in the stadium.

One thing that grinds my gears is the sign at the Toilet Bar saying all bottle caps will be removed. This bugs me, the whole point in the new style always connected caps was to stop the caps being removed and now staff been told to remove them.
Just how far can a cap be thrown as a weapon?
If someone was keen to throw a small missile they wouldn't pay £2 for a bottle ,it would be cheaper and more effective just to throw a 50p coin or two (if u were that way inclined)
They were asking supporters to remove bottle tops at the Dell in 1999 and Fratton Park in 2014, I know it’s a pain in the A**e but they’re are ways around it. :wink:
Like keep one in your pocket, when the barman hands you the open bottle take the top out of your pocket and screw it on in front of him, smile and give him the "V" for victory sign.

The East Bank bar is "furnished" with 2 inches of medium sized pebbles, and (in the autumn) hundreds of conkers.

Anyone up there looking for a missile isn't going to spend £2 on a bottle of coke.
