Football league regulation; has been for years. Stops you launching a full bottle at someone

Or taking a flask of tea in as many do.

Just take your own bottle of water in your pocket, probably cheaper as well.

I was told that the top had to come off as it was a “missile risk”. When I pointed out that it could be thrown full with the top off, there was no reply. I guess it is just EFL rules.

Surely a full bottle with the top off is more lethal, as you're at risk of getting soaked with sticky, sugary juice as well as getting clobbered on the head?

This forum is laughable. I feel like I’ve 50% have never left the town, never been to any sort of football match, music event, music festival, basically any stadium or arena event in the uk have enforced this for the last 10+ years.

Or worse! When I was a youngster I once went to a Hearts v Celtic match and was shocked to see fans peeing into empty beer cans and hurling them at the opposing fans.

And it didn’t solve the main problem (or not, if that's your kink) that 95% of bottles lobbed contain slash. 100% slash if Coldplay, Bono or Morrisey are on stage. 200% if Slash is on stage (or something, I don’t do maths).
