These rules are totally unnecessary and tone deaf. Fans already pay a lot to attend and travel to matches. Many home fans have long journeys that they want to bring food for, many can’t afford tickets to purchase food in the ground or would much prefer not to stand in a lengthy queue when they’d rather be watching the match, catching up with friends or having a pint. Seriously guys. Give your heads a wobble and think about why we are all here in the first place.

I fail to see how bringing a sandwich and a chocolate bar to a match can cause any problems.
I like many others enjoy a pre match snack and strongly resent this being taken away from me.
I know that there is food and drink sold in the concourse, however it is expensive and not to my taste.

Because football is expensive enough and fans and families should be able to bring their own basic snacks

I see no compelling safety reasons under Martyn's Law for the 'no food rule' and believe it to be commercially led. We were at one time claimed to be 'a Club like no other'.

Bonkers decision by the club and think we should be allowed to bring in food to the ground

I always take sweets, and occasionally Mars &/or Snickers Bars

Basic snacks like crisps or biscuits should be allowed for the following reasons:
-not everyone goes to football to eat, some just want a quick snack at half time without leaving their seat.
-not everyone can afford the prices - they have already paid for match ticket and this should be enough
-not everyone wants to queue and risk missing the start of the second half.
-for the fans by the fans - less and less so!

Supporters should not be forced to buy food inside the ground at high prices

We travel 70 miles from home to Plough Lane, we bring a piece of fruit and a bag if crisps to eat at half time. With the cost of ithe season tickets and fuel we cannot afford to buy food in the ground, which is quite expensive.

Forcing people to eat unhealthy food from the stadium is wrong
