however I like to have a cigarette with a pint, as a result of this the club don't really want me, other fans don't want me.......

Just out of interest, do you (or any other smokers) go to away games, if so is any provision made where a fan can have a beer and cig? or is it one or the other?

Is there any chance - when I attend away games - of going to the bog at half time without increasing my likelihood of contracting lung cancer 10 fold.
Just leave the fags until you’re outside the ground - sick to death of myself & my grandson running the gauntlet of smokers & feeling our way though the cigarette smoke just to have a pee.
Rant over.
As you were.

PS Chances of new ground development taking smokers into consideration? Zero - and that’s how it must be.

I can't personally do fags in bogs, I don't do intervening in other peoples air space, I mean the combination of urine, cheap disinfectants, and cig smoke

as I said, I see myself as scum and not the sort of glossy, shiny, smiley happy family, dress suit type customer or whatever, I guess I am scum with a bit of taste and huge respect for others choices

what I do know is, that if they put a balcony or something somewhere, tucked away behind a stand or on top of it with fresh air and whatever view can be mustered, the scummy fan like me will turn up early, spend far more than the shiny fans on beer, food, merchandise and contribute to the atmosphere and help NFFC make huge profits, and happily stay for a pint afterwards, in fact i'd pay a bit extra to be served by pretty people, have nice food to choose from and be out of the way of kids and fuddy duddies, flask and the righteous and judgemental who drive off stuffing the air with more fumes in 30 minutes than I can shove into the air in 6 weeks

as it is the high street, the pubs are all collapsing because of neglecting the scum, maybe scum with taste, scum who like to have a choice, scum who do not want to intrude on others, if there is no place for me at the city ground other than the bogs i'll pass thanks

In this day and age, when people breath in harmful fumes from cars its total nonsense to implement smoking bans.  You die if you smoke and you die if you don't smoke....not smoking is not some cure for death. That's the stupidity of it all.

A proper smoking area - restricted to over 18's - with a one way system - so the entrance is not the exit and you flow people through the area - well thought out - with refreshments near - where people can purchase and take into the smoking area to consume - would be a welcome addition and prove fruitful in generating more income.  It would not in any way adversely effect any non-smokers - if they are happy to breath in air full of PM2.5 pollution from industry and cars, then stop moaning.

The chemicals in vaping are 50 times more cariogenic than tobacco - and yet this is being promoted ???   https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/323036.php

I am afraid all this anti smoking is not about health anymore - its about punishing tobacco companies - when people are being enticed into highly dangerous vaping as oppose to less dangerous tobacco then you know things have gone too far and its now punitive.

If it were about heath then sugar, salt, alcohol and tobacco would all have the same restrictions - that they do not clearly shows its not health related.  So lets make the City Ground a stadium that is forward thinking, one which welcomes all people and caters for all.
