Explanation please.

Will a member of the PNE Management team please, by means of this message board, explain why my wife is subjected to the indignity of having to have her handbag inspected at the turnstile by young male stewards before being allowed to enter the ground.

We are both long term season ticket holders. and this insulting practice has only started this season. Male supporters apparently are not subjected to such searches and this distasteful practice does not appear to apply to males; either young and old.

If female supporters are to be subjected to such searches. why are thet not carried out in private by female security staff? What would happen if a female season ticket holder refused to have her handbag examined by untrained male boy scout stewards?

Finally are Kathryn Revitt and other female officers, players wives etc subjected to this practice. I suggest that the jobsworth who introduced this practice is asked to explain his actions.

So your pissed off because your Mrs had her handbag searched by a bloke on the way in? Do you kick off at the airport when her handbag is searched?

 

[Bobbage]

Because they're trying to stop people getting flares and smoke bombs in to the ground.

There's no "indignity" in it.

 

[JK]

All bags are searched.

 

[Damp Squib]

I’m going to go with the obvious here.

1. Most men, regardless of whether they are young or old, don’t carry handbags.

2. Stop being so fucking entitled.

I was asked to empty my jacket pockets on the way into the town end today

Took around 5 seconds

Never happened before

No problem with it though

 

[bobbydavro]

same reason my bag was searched by a female steward...get a fucking grip, they are doing their job trying to keep you safe.

 

[Gordon Bennett]

Why not contact the club rather than hope they see a random post on here?

 

[milkyken]

Can you pay extra for a strip search?

Asking for a friend.

 

[Soapy]

All bags are searched.

Are you calling his wife a bag?

A bloke carrying a bag would have that searched. Carry your wife’s handbag on Wednesday and see.

No problem ,all done with a cynical smile and an ask of 'are we gonna win today',

My 81 year old mother has been having her bag searched on the Town End for years. We take the piss every time it happens and she laughs.

Sorry but nobody should be exempt from stop and search 👍
