A fan was barred from a Premier League ground â?? because his newspaper was branded a weapon.

 

Security guards at Stoke City ordered stunned West Ham supporter Chris Barmby, to bin it, claiming he might set it on fire and start a riot.

 

Ex-fireman Chris, 57, of Claines, Worcs, said: â??It was ridiculous. They were letting in fans with programmes.

 

What is stopping someone setting light to a club programme? The worst thing was I hadnâ??t even read it.

 

â??Iâ??ve been following football for years and years and I have never heard anything so ridiculous.â?

 

No one at Stokeâ??s Britannia Stadium was available for comment.

 

Newspapers are not on its website list of banned items, but it states that any article that might be used as a weapon and/or compromise public safety would not be allowed into the ground.
