Utterly barmy!!
I've carried a little rucksack every game I've attended with some sandwiches & a place to keep my match programme dry, now I cant take it?

We took an empty small holdall with us because we were planning to buy a big winter jacket from the club shop as a present for someone and we didn't want it stuffing in a small plastic bag in the club shop if indeed it would even fit in one. The shop is shut after the game so of course we went pre-match. We got stopped at the gate afterwards. Not allowed in with it like that. My daughter put the jacket on. We folded the bag up and took it in with us 'flat'. That was allowed. Once in she took the jacket off and we put it back in the bag. What was the point of that? Utter nonsense. Nobody checked whether or not I had a gun or knife stuffed down a sock. The cynic in me wonders whether it is about stadium security or promoting food sales by stopping Brad and like minded people taking his sandwiches in.
