Hi, just a quick question for someone about the stadium rules at the Halliwell Jones.

I'm coming over with the family tomorrow, and are planning to bring some food/drink with us. Does the Halliwell Jones have the same rules as other modern stadia, in that they won't allow plastic soft-drink bottles (unless the top is removed)?

yes, plus if you fart you have to get the rounds in

I was under the impression that the rules on buying bottles of pop have now been relaxed and you can buy them with the tops on?

I've done that at some stage this season and nothing has been said or done.

Take the bottle tops off and put them in your pocket when your going through the turnstiles, then when your in your seat screw them back on

you can bring normal size bottles of pop in, in plastic bottles, i think they take exception to 2 litres , dunno why though, they do sell bottles with lids on in the ground, stay away from the pizza pods though.

It's 95% pepper-tastic.

Thanks for the info!

Lad infront of us had a plastic bottle of Sprite, took the lid off and was still refused entry and there for had to leave it outside the ground.

the family in front of me bring what I can only describe as a 'food-fest' to every game. 2 rucksacks crammed with all sorts of carb-enriched delights (pies, pasties, butties, sausage rolls, cheese rolls, pizza slices...). Then the pop, juice, flasks (one for tea one for coffee) and an insane amount of Haribos.
I'm amazed they see any of the game as their heads are permanently mooching about in said bags rummaging for the next snack.
Sunday lunch - Wire style !

We're going for the games tomorrow, and taking a packed lunch in with us.

Looking forward to it. As far as I know, the "no bottle caps" rule is still in effect.

The beer comes out of a can though, which at £3 makes it ridiculous.
