andrew_2010 0 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Now I realise there have been a few issues being discussed that divided fans - but i would like to think what other people think of this issue, and what we can constructively do to suit all parties! Smoking is now against the law in public areas. but the last 3 times or so i have been to the toilet at half-time i have come out stinking like id just spent the whole night down the pub! obviously im a non-smoker. Smoking in the toilets does bother me. but i would never want to grass up another fan. yesterday i saw someone getting taken away by the police, and as soon as the copper had gone, everyone got their cigg's out!! surely there could be some way that fans can get access to a smoking area outside the ground? something fenced off... I dont know how many here have been to pittodrie, but an area like that at the back of the stand, but still secured so no1 can jump in! am I the only one that thinks something should be done about this?! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beattie 0 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I'm with you. I absolutely hate it.. it's illegal and I shouldn't have to be around it in a tight, enclosed public-place when the law states that I shouldn't have to be. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Ally 0 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Agreed. Real pet hate of mine as I find many smokers to be simply ignorant. Their filthy little habit is more important than my health apparently? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewarty 2,060 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Thats the kind of behaviour that could get the club into a lot of trouble. Can we not get fined? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
br1ndy 0 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Yep the person caught and the club can be fined shed loads. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buba3d 0 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Lets get 20,000 of us gers fans into parkhead wearing tri colours and get caught, make sure a nice wee phonecall to grass us in, that should hit celtic in the pockets. haha *It did sound funny in my head at the time* 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stan Smith Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Got to say I'm in a small merry band of ex smokers who think smokers are treated appallingly. That said, whilst I support the rights of the smoker as much as possible, these daft actions will hurt no-one but the club. I've heard people moaning about the stewards not doing anything, but lets be honest here, who would fancy telling half a dozen folks to put them out in the lavvies at half time. It can be very busy and I;d imagine very dangerous for an authority figure on their own to try and enforce it. My view? the law should step in. Bit draconian, but if people cant behave with the most basic of requests, then all rights to "due process" need to be forfeited I'm afraid. And, let me say again, I am very pro-smoking as an ex smoker! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
