It won't affect me, as I will have enough to do, but I got this regarding the GP:

 

2008 FIM BRITISH SPEEDWAY GRAND PRIX at Millennium Stadium,

Cardiff on 28/06/2008

 

WARNING!

 

Only non-flammable air horns will be allowed inside Millennium Stadium.

Flammable air horns will be confiscated by stewards at entry points to the

stadium.

 

Non-flammable air horns can be purchased from the official

Millennium Stadium Merchandise outlets.

 

So now you know!

Has anyone else recieved this e-mail? seems to be another way of grabbing money for over priced merchandise as I've never know of this ban before:

Now there's a surprise. :P

How can you tell the difference anyway whether the air horn is flammable or non-flammable? It looks like mine is made in Italy so I can't understand a word it says. :D I'm not really bothered though because I'm not taking it with me.

The highly flammabe sign on the side of the can tends to give it away Gem.. :lol:

Oh yes. :oops: I've found a little flame sign on mine.

Bah!! That will really spoil the atmosphere and as so many fans are either on their way or already in Cardiff they won't find out until they try to get in tomorrow. Spoil sports! I've never known air horns to be a problem - apart from when Adam Skornicki tried to set fire to his a few years ago. :lol:

Adam was clearly just trying to establish whether his air horn was flammable. If it bursts into flames, don't bring it into the stadium. Good man, good plan.

Just has a look at the ones in my backpack - 3 different makes/brands - all flammable.

 

I wonder if this is a genuine safety concern or an excuse to make more money inside the stadium - cos whatever they sell wont be price competitive

 

Are there any more restrictions we should be aware of ? - can we bring our own food & water ??

Of course it's a revenue excercise, no doubt under the guise of of some Health and Safety issue.... :angry: If anybody went to Gelsekirchen last year , you will remember they did the same there and the atmosphere in the Stadium was.....AWFUL..the lack of atmosphere made us decide not to go back this year..So we will have to use those things that you blow in..... :rolleyes:

Oldest trick in the book. Wembley used to do it with flags and polls but you bet your life on it, there will be no problem with air horns at Bydgoszcz.

 

It was only yesterday that the Spaniard's at the footy game had a flare on them.

They always say they've banned airhorns, every year, we always have this discussion a day or two before Cardiff.

 

They won't stop you taking them in.

 

I would assume that whilst they haven't banned air horns per se, they obviously want safe gasses within those horns. I would assume that should you try to take an air horn in, the stewards will look for the flammable symbol and confiscate those.

 

Incidentally, the information came from the ticket agent where my son bought his tickets.
