This is further proof if it were needed that the club is really making an effort to rebuild trust with the support base. Great news.However, the introduction of a smoking bubble is madness. The club is effectively encouraging supporters to smoke! People who would otherwise not be arsed to take their disgusting habit outside because of the permanently shite weather are now going to be far more willing to nip out for one of their stinking death sticks as the club have paid out for a shelter for them! This is absolute madness. We should be making it as hard as possible for these people to give up - not making it easier for them to carry on their primitive habit. All the fine words and initiative about helping supporters lead healthier lives has just gone out of the window. As a club we should be stopping them leaving the ground to smoke, not positively encouraging them to do so by splashing out on a death chamber for them to smoke more!
Firstly the ban in smoking has not helped the non-smokers in other areas of the stadium and my understanding is that some areas are proving very troublesome.
+1 thye voice of reason at last. I take it that Chris Black doesn't have any habits that could affect his health in anyway i.e frinking alcohol, eatring cholestorol filled pies etc etc.............
On the subject of the smoking area outside the east stand, if you are in a hospitality box in a match day you are allowed to leave for a cigarette then re-enter, so what is the difference between these people and ordinary supporters? I welcome this idea and support its implementation in full. This is not about debating the problems of smoking, its about the In Rovers We Trust trying to make every fans' day much more enjoyable. 2013 is going to be a great year for DRFC hopefully on and off the pitch.In Rovers We Trust!
If people want to smoke its there choice so at least they will have somewhere to go other than upsetting non smokers by using the bogs, and what's more it may even bring more fans to games because they wont have to sit without a fag for two hours which means more money into the club. Onwards and upwards and bravo drfc/vsc
