LCFC have announced that they will operate a predominantly no smoking policy for supporters' comfort in the new stadium.

The Club say that they "have recognised that some supporters may wish to smoke during their time in the ground and have agreed to relax the restrictions for pre-defined times in certain areas."

Here are the rules...

Supporters may smoke in their seating areas (with the exception of the family enclosure) at the following times:

· Before the game up to five minutes before the kick off.

· At half-time.

· After the game.

For the avoidance of doubt, all concourse areas are designated no smoking areas at all times and the family enclosure is a no smoking area at all times. We ask that supporters who do wish to smoke adhere strictly to the conditions and that they respect supporters' wishes close to them who may be non-smokers.

All stewards will be asked to ensure that these conditions are strictly enforced. This policy will be implemented for a one-season trial period for the 2002/03 season only, to be reviewed thereon and is subject to any changes in legislation with regard to the issue of passive smoking.

Is this a fair balance for smokers and non-smokers? Should people be able to go to a game in this day and age and not have to put up with cancer ridden smoke from selfish bastards at any time?

Or should it not be a problem in the open air and a free country, after all, smoking aint illegal is it?
