Stewards have no legal right to search you or the bag.Waterford fans let flares off=Waterford paying for fine.

What can Waterford united do as a club to stop it at away games?

Tis-smeee, stop acting like there was trouble in Belfield the other night. New security firm at the RSC now, but its the Gards that are the real problem, and are being VERY akward e.g. no confetti

**Tis-smeee** · 20/04/2007, 6:17 PM

What are you banging on about?

The Garda� stopped you using confetti? That is bizarre.

They've paid a deposit, I assume. Any fines can come out of that.

I presume the idea is that the fns concerned see they're after getting the club fined and will think twice about doing it again if their own club is going to get hit. Although it does appear to be a change in focus given we were fined in 2005 because one Rovers fan called Gary Dicker a paki and another couple of Rovers fans sang a bold song.

Also, I've never been searched in Waterford. One time I even drove right into the ground, so I had an entire car to hide things in.

**feo123** · 21/04/2007, 10:31 PM

had a bag full of footy gear with me today goin to rovers v pats because i had a game before it....i had to take out all my gear to show a steward, a tad annoying but suppose has to be done

**sligoman** · 21/04/2007, 10:32 PM

Pat's let off one or two flares again today. I hope the FAI are consistent with their fines and punish them again.

**feo123** · 21/04/2007, 10:53 PM

better not fine us either! seen a few young pats fans no older than myself buyin rounds a vodka in centra before the match, dont know how they would have got in with it though, didnt even have any bags with them

**Bosco** · 21/04/2007, 11:05 PM

Bottles of vodka aren't exactly hard to hide!

Going on precedent Sligo won't be fined.

AFAIK stewards can't body search anyone entering the ground.

Whats that to do with flares???

**bad mongo** · 22/04/2007, 7:25 AM

I'd take a chance shoving a naggen of vodka down me jocks to smuggle into a game to enliven the atmosphere but I don't reckon I'd do the same with a roman candle!
Anyone ever risk it?
