Hello all. I will be part of the Leicester contingent coming down for the game on Sunday and I was wondering if you had any rules on bringing bags and cameras into the stadium. I am an amateur photographer and have a decent camera but I've heard a lot of stories of people having their cameras confiscated as only official photographers are allowed or stuff like that but want to know if that is true. Also are there any good places to get a bite to eat that is open on a Sunday around the stadium? Thanks people - see you at the game.
The only Gooners down there this season were me and about 10 of my mates. Still, we were there after the game so winding your mob up was easy!
Somehow! I got called nasty names though and I lost count of the number of times I was called a c**t. I happened to be the only one in Arsenal colours which didn't help!
The bastards! "I happened to be the only one in Arsenal colours which didn't help" - not the brightest bulb in the batch eh mate?
To answer your first questions, cameras are most certainly allowed it's perfectly fine. I don't think there is a single second that goes by at the Bridge where you cannot see a camera flash somewhere in the stands. Bags are fine too, only thing is that the stewards they will have a brief look inside them just before you near the turnstiles, to check if you have anything dodgy or any food/drinks/bottles inside. Also no umbrellas with a metal tip, so let's hope it's a nice day.
We will be bring our full allocation of 6000 - all the tickets were sold within an hour. Are they really strict on no food/drink - i.e. would they raise an eyebrow of I turn up with a of packet of crisps and a bottle of water or would they make me chuck that stuff and buy it inside the ground for 6x the price - made me do that at Villa Park but not at Old Trafford. At the King Power, I've turned up with KFC box and a couple of cans and no-one cared - had to bribe a steward with a chicken wing though.
