Now not just the stands, but the whole stadium will be non- smoking.

Well I'm probably in a minority but I won't be entering the stadium until the very last minute. The ten pints that our party of six usually purchase will be obtained elsewhere.
I know when I'm not wanted.

All over the country, no-one will be able to enter any building without going through the cloud of smoker from the human chimneys stood outside who've got to have their cigarettes before going into said buildings...!

Well it does say:

"The blanket ban, which covers any area inside the stadium – including all corporate hospitality suites – applies to all football matches. The rugby club is expected to follow suit."

So at the moment with no announcment from the RL club smoking on the concourse is still allowed at RL games.

Oh were lucky we play most matches in Summer if they bring in a blanket ban. The Skeletons in the West stand can start cheering the side on for once that would keep them warm.
