If you have that much room in your pants then I feel sorry for Mrs PTB.

Does anyone have the wallet the club dished out with membership about 5 years ago, unused? Mines disintegrating. I'm happy to pay, just PM me.

So relaxed that at the recent Forest Amex cup match I was waived through with zero checks. Which was a bit concerning.
Also had the full wallet treatment at Brentford. Was too shocked to kick up a fuss at the time - but the more I think about it, I feel it is way over the top and pretty outrageous really.
To the establishment, if you are a football supporter, particularly an away supporter, the starting position is to treat you like scum. Been like this for many years now and feels very out of date. Bury just clinched promotion from whatever non league tier they are in, in front of an 8000 strong crowd. Many of them with pint in hand in the stands because it is permitted at that level. There was zero trouble.
The ones at the AMEX are pretty useless. I have a bag, with a big brass plate and clasp, a bunch of keys, phone and a phone charger yet it was never seemingly set off.
I carry a wallet , my sons do too , some of my mates do and some do not ,
We need another pointless poll !

I probably shouldn't have allowed the strip search they conducted on me at the Lyric Opera of Chicago when the Joffrey Ballet performanced the Nutcracker.
Your pants must be massive.

I'm glad I'm not going to witness Fulham's defeat there this season - I've got about 40 various coffee shop, falafel and sound bath loyalty cards in my wallet.

That's simply not going to work if you wear boxer shorts.

I'm going to send you a PM that just says 'Hi', no need to reply, I'm just bookmarking it for when I next venture into the loft as I'm sure I have a couple of VHS blockbusters videos. They were obtained from car boots, I've always rewound & they were always back in time!

Perhaps if everyone collected forty or fifty random pointless cards and kept them in their wallet - with the actual credit card somewhere else - the stewards would get the message?
(For added mischief making, a few hundred people could report missing credit cards after the search, only to "find" them again two days later.)

Keys, wallet, phone. The holy trinity when you slope off out. Even though I have Google Pay on my phone, I can't IMAGINE not carrying a wallet with my cards, cash and ID. Its just what I do. I need to know where things are.
I have a mate who never carries a wallet. All his cash, notes and cards are just randomly assorted in his various pockets. One afternoon - MANY moons ago - we were at Barnet away. We didn't travel together, but met up in a local pub, where I had his ticket (a paper one - remember those ?). I slipped his ticket out of my wallet, gave it to him, and minced over to the bar to get a round in. 2-3 minutes later I returned with the bevs, only to see him frantically emptying the ENTIRE contents of all his pockets onto the top of the fruity, in a desperate search for the ticket I'd just given him barely 4 minutes ago.
Thankfully it turned up in one of his inside coat pockets, and all was well. But he still doesn't carry one to this day.
Weird. People without wallets are WEIRD.

If I’m fortunate next season and get a ticket for the G spot or whatever it’s called I’m going to ensure I go well prepared.
As it happens, because I am usually on a 24 trip involving a flight I usually have a carrier bag with me containing miscellaneous items.
Amex is always quick bag search - never a problem.
Away grounds can differ wildly but many are very friendly and non-intrusive - Arsenal , West Ham, Newcastle, Ipswich good examples.
Liverpool was actually the biggest pain as they wouldn’t allow a bag in at all. It was ridiculous though because moving a short distance away I was able to wedge, stuff, conceal all items in various pockets(no orifices!), put the bag in my pocket and be admitted with no problem! Then obviously returning the items to my bag once inside! Madness!
