Bags/Rucksacks/Handbags in the stadium

[HibbyAndy]

What is the situation with this now ? Pretty sure a few weeks ago we were not allowed any baggage into the stadium , So me and my 2 adult kids have had to leave stuff at home which is such an inconvenience !! As it's stuff we need at the time , Then the last few weeks i have seen loads of people climbing up the stairs to their seats with huge rucksacks on their back :confused:

[Allant1981]

Seen quite a few bags getting checked going into the east so must be allowed to take them

[Pretty Boy]

I take a backpack for my daughter every week.

It's never been checked once this season never mind entry refused. You'll be fine.

[MWHIBBIES]

At worst you'll get searched about 50% of the time. Never seen or heard anyone ever being stopped from taking a bag in.

[HibbyAndy]

Just with the 30 year anniversary on Wednesday for the League cup email i got encouraging you to take memorabilia to get signed at the club shop before the game , Ehm where are went to put it :confused:

Pretty sure a couple of posters on here were refused entry into the West with handbags at the start of the season

Yeah, but those particular posters had history on here. :greengrin

Defo mate - guy I seen earlier in season had a backpack with stuff for kids in it and was told he couldn't bring it in to West by a steward. It led to a heated discussion, I'm not sure what they ended up doing...

And that's my problem ! It's not stuff i can chuck away , If i get refused entry i will be going home , defo need clarification on what you are allowed into the stadium

My mum gets in with a wee bag - shes never had any problems with that...

[twiceinathens]

I offered my rucksack, containing only a lightweight rain jacket, for checking to a steward three weeks ago. I have previously gone through this procedure at other games, He quite politely told me I would not be allowed to enter the stadium with it. I checked with another steward to be told the same thing. I have since emailed the club twice at seven day intervals pointing out that I had neither been drinking nor abused the stewards and that they were obviously only carrying out instructions. I asked when the policy had been changed, why no official announcement was communicated to season ticket holders( or indeed supporters in general) and where the policy is displayed at the stadium.
I have yet to receive recognition of my enquiries.

See this is my issue , It's not good enough some folk getting in and some not , We need clarification about this , All it takes is getting the wrong steward that refuses you entry

I have also emailed the club many many times about what's allowed in but no answer , Zilch nada zero

[Jay]

I was moaning last week about this very thing. I was coming in by bus and had to carry my phone, keys, paper covid cert, my ID which for me is a passport and a packet of tissues. I couldn't bring a bag and women's pockets are much smaller than men's generally so I was struggling. I'd seen women with handbags the previous game but it would just be my luck to be refused . I even had to leave my lipgloss at home :greengrin

[Keith_M]

I've been a couple of times straight from work and had to take my laptop in a rucksack and never been refused entry. I always walked straight up to the steward and told them what it was and why I had to bring it.

However, it would be nice to know if the rules have changed.

What has changed in recent years , Is it covid related ? We were always allowed in with bags , Granted a bag search but we were always allowed in

[Sir David Gray]

There were pre-match warnings from Hibs before a couple of games earlier this season where they said absolutely no bags or rucksacks were allowed but nothing more recently which makes me think this rule's been quietly relaxed.

I had 2 trains of thought. First being covid to keep the stewards at a distance and not searching your bag and second its the norm in the States and I wondered if it was our new owner and his team? Whatever it is it's ridiculous.

[Sir David Gray]

I think it was claimed to be partly down to Covid-19 protocols.

This was the info page ahead of the Kilmarnock cup game under the heading "What are the Covid regulations?"

"Absolutely no rucksacks, cases etc will be allowed into the stadium. Only bags needed for medical or childcare reasons will be allowed and these can be no bigger than 30cm x 30cm. Carrier bags, including from our club store, can be folded to meet the required dimensions."

So you can't go into the clubshop and buy a load of Xmas presents before the game unless it can be folded to 30cm x 30cm . It doesn't actually make sense. Can I bring a carrier bag with anything I want in it as long as it fits those dimensions? Or is it just clubshop stuff? Madness

That was certainly the rule a couple of months ago but I do think things have been relaxed a bit now.

Well they need to tell us. I cant risk not getting in if I take a bag ( by no means a dig at you SDG) the club need to clarify

100% clarification needed


The steward in the East let me in , The steward in the West checked my bag but let me in , The steward in the Famous five declined to let me in , It's not good enough , It needs to be sorted , Bags are either allowed or they are not , It shouldn't be up to the stewards discretion

Apologies, I stand corrected although the other one from the summer is still floating about on the website so it was a bit confusing.

That should give everyone the clarity they need then - no bags allowed in Easter Road at all except for medical or childcare reasons and these bags must be clear, see-through and able to reveal the contents. :aok:

[Stevie Reid]

I take a backpack for my daughter every week.

It's never been checked once this season never mind entry refused. You'll be fine.

My brother missed the first 25 minutes of the Livi game as they wouldn't let him in with a bag. Eventually managed to speak to someone who let him in, but was an absolute joke.

[overdrive]

Well, when I'm back in the office I won't be going to midweek games then if you aren't allowed in with a bag. We have been told that once back in the office, the policy is that you must take your work laptop home with you every day and there will be no provision to store it at work. This is in case you have to isolate and work from home. I won't have enough time to get home and then back into town for the match.

Read the download link above, so long as it's not in a rucksack you will be fine.
My son has a similar issue with a work lap top. He carries it in a shoulder bag and was admitted after coming straight from work to attend the womens derby game. It's covered by discretionary permission for essential bags. He will be doing the same tomorrow night after finishing at 7pm.

Your laptop is a valuable.

[Keith_M]

If they have these rules in place and you have something with you for a very good reason (e.g. work laptops), then maybe they could provide a safe storage facility where you can drop it off and pick it up again after the game.

:dunno:

[Keith_M]

I’m leaving the wife at home !


You'll be okay if you can deflate her to the required dimensions before going in to the stadium


:wink:

[wookie70]

Is the laptop small enough to fit in a 30cm x 30cm bag though. Just measured by works laptop and I would have to saw a bit off to fit in a bag that size. Yet Hibs carrier bags are specifically mentioned and are a good bit bigger. Yet another ridiculous rule imo

Can't see it being an issue.
If it was you could simply take the lap top out your bag on arrival, carry it in then put it back in the bag.

[wookie70]

You wouldn't have a bag to put it in though as it wouldn't be allowed through according to the rules. The laptop, which could far more easily be dressed up to be an explosive, if Hollywood movies are to believed, would be fine of course. A total overreaction to events that happen very seldomly and which wouldn't be stopped by these rules any way. It probably isn't the clubs fault either and they will be following some insurance or industry advise.

[HibbyAndy]

So the club shop is open before match day games but theirs no point buying anything as you won't get in unless its Medical stuff or childcare ? Hibs missing a trick here ?

Can only see this bit

⦁ …bags are only permitted for medical or childcare reasons these bags must be clear, see-through revealing the contents.


Adult rucksacks will not be permitted into the stadium on security grounds, and you should not approach the Outer Security Perimeter checks carrying one. You will be turned away

What a weird stance from the Club. Just another small, bad decision putting people off going to games.

[Pretty Boy]

Bizarre from the club and/or the stewarding contractors.

My daughter needs her inhaler and the device for helping her to use it at games and an extra layer. Does it really make any difference if it's in a clear bag or if a steward has to take a second to check the rucksack I usually take it in?

Just a needless barrier. As I said I've had no bother yet but it seems I've just been lucky. I don't think I've ever read a spectator code of conduct or whatever it's called for ER so I would have been totally scoobied if I'd had any bother and hadn't read this thread.

Very odd i agree , I think the poster earlier on said he couldn't get in with a rain jacket in his bag as the steward stopped him , But if he had the same garment in a hibs bag he would have got in ? Cmon what's going on here !

[Carheenlea]

More rules we need to adhere to. Fantastic :thumbsup:

No this - No that - Hand over your £33 and please don’t enjoy yourselves too much.

It's not unheard of at big events. The NFL games I attended at Wembley spring to mind as only permitting see through bags. The organisers provided those with your tickets though. How many people have a stash of clear, event compliant bags sitting around? I barely have a plastic bag in my house at all because I have a load of reusable canvas bags instead.

This will go down like a lead balloon given previous threads mentioning the topic but it's hardly a ringing endorsement of our green credentials either. 2 types of bag are permitted, one of which is a single use plastic. We should be phasing them out of use at the clubstore, not encouraging more people to take one.

[Sir David Gray]

Sorry my thumbs up was a bit of sarcasm on my part.

I can't understand the rule at all.

[Keith_M]

So, is it or is it not an attempt to stop terrorists?


If it's not, then what exactly is the purpose of it?


If it is, then somebody at the club needs their head examined.

Another ridiculous thing in those rules is that it has way more stringent rules than anywhere else if you’ve tested positive for Covid. You can’t attend a match within 14 days of testing positive rather than the usual 10. In my case, let’s say the game at the weekend was at ER. I couldn’t attend the match even though I was out of my isolation period for most of the previous week. Further than that, the official isolation rules aren’t from point of testing positive, it is from first getting symptoms.

In reality it would never be enforced as they’d have no way of knowing… so why bother with putting it there in the first place?

It’s like the rules have been written by some newly promoted health and safety manager who’s let the power go to their head.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

More utter ****in nonsense.

[Antifa Hibs]

Never seen any men or women getting stopped at the east for bags, stewards just search them.

Regarding spot checks, bit of a farce tbh. If you don't have a vaccine passport and get stopped, they're not going to take you're ticket off you (especially if its digital) so surely anyone with half a brain will just nip to the next turnstile and chance it there?

No doubt. I think if I was bringing the kids to a match I’d bring a rucksack as usual. But it does give some jobsworth licence to start off your visit to ER on a sour note.

[CMurdoch]

Can't believe folk are not more resourceful to be able to get a couple of items into the ground for themselves or their kids in the highly unlikely event they are refused admission. Also given it is once again freezing at the football everyone will be wearing their coats so other than a little food and a couple of bits and pieces for their kids, which could go in a Hibs carrier bag, what are folk bringing to the football that would be an issue?

I had my phone, mask, paper vaccine cert, paper ticket, my passport, bunch of keys and a packet of tissues. Women's coats have small pockets because its assumed we carry bags. I didn't have/know about nor want to carry it in a hibs carrier bag . Its a pain in the backside and totally unnecessary. It's not the biggest issue in the world by any means but I do know a lot of people used to go to the games before nightshift and carry their uniform in a bag. There's lots of reasons for people to take a bag in.

I can't see any way in the world that you wouldn't get into the ground with a bag of a size required to carry the small and essential items you describe.
You could even put it under your coat until you get inside if you think it might be an issue.

At the time I was under the belief bags weren't allowed at all as that was the last communication I'd seen so did stuff my pockets as best I could . Who wants to sit at the fitba holding their passport and phone for no good reason though?

[j'adorehibs]

are females allowed handbags? if so men can take a small man bag else we'd have a case for sexual discrimination

with phones, wallets, keys, gum, vape/juice et all pockets get rather full, could also get any medication etc in there too , never mind the summer when your in your shorts and no jacket

starting up again. it was part of the convirrgulations but I'm sure it has been lifted now?

Appears to be "guideline", rather than "rule", I was at the Denmark game on Monday & though I didn't notice any bags, there were plenty big flags which must have been carried in bags bigger than A4.

It's not only the laziness of not finding the answer themselves but when provided with the source of information they need they choose to ignore it.

I'm almost hoping that they are stopped and searched and miss the game. ( not really but it's the way of forums 😉)

I'm not sure that providing a link to the rules is the same as helpfully answering the question with a simple yes/no.
