Backpacks at SoL

[Pants]

The stewards aren't keen on backpacks but if you just keep shouting the password "Allahu Akbar" at them they'll let you in.

Useful, cheers.

I'm not trying to get in with suitcases. I agree she should have been turned away! It's just a normal-sized backpack.

I’ve had to go straight from work with a laptop bag, that is a backpack, had it searched but got in no problem.

As someone said the train stations normally have left luggage lockers. Recently did this albeit in London but I guess Sunderland station might also offer it

Loads of people take carrier bags full of picnic stuff cos they can’t go to the match for two hours and not eat. Sick of it me

It's a prerequisite of buying a season ticket in the East stand.

Would have been our first game of the season not too long after the Manchester arena bombings a woman in front of me in the queue tried to get in with 2 massive suit cases, she was rightly turned away.

Two suitcases full of pease pudding wouldn’t do too much damage.

One was full of pink slices

I've had this issue. Travelled down to see my mother on the Friday then gone to the game on sat with me rucksack then train back to Edinburgh. Stewards have a rummage around and I've never been turned away. I just explained the situation. Stick a few massive dildos in there for good measure then they won't look too hard in your backpack. You'll be able to sneak tabs in and hooch.

If you’re only allowed a few dildos he will probably have to take a couple of them out

Not sure if Tescos near the wheatsheaf has one of those trolley things where you can lock your trolley when you use the restaurant. Hoy your bag in a trolley, lock it up and off you go.

She may have been a test operator, assessing the clubs response to that sort of thing.
A mate of mine does it over here. They hide firearms and stuff in luggage to see if it gets found. They do assessments on the security staff then report back to management with their findings.

Peace pudding.

My mate used to take his backpack every match. It was full of huge knives too. He never had a problem.

Highly unlikely a terrorist would be trying to get into a stadium with two suitcases like.

 

[beverly macca]

Highly unlikely a terrorist would be trying to get into a stadium with two suitcases like.

Or a return train ticket.

Highly unlikely a terrorist would be trying to get into a stadium with two suitcases like.

That’s the sort of thing a terrorist would say.

 

[Ciro_DiMarzio]

That’s the sort of thing a terrorist would say.

Well I am a Catholic.

 

[Goat Eyes]

Well I am a Catholic.

Poor you.

 

[Ciro_DiMarzio]

Poor you.

Has no effect whatsoever on my life to be fair.

I know it was just an amusing anecdote, nasty
