I have a theory that you can tell a woman's age by the size of her handbag. It starts as a teenager with lipstick and some money, and by the time they're seventy is evolved into a huge thing that can only be carried on their arm and has fifty years worth of accumulated rubbish.

I can go along with that. Just the other day I told the Mrs., who is forever stuffing to the brim her every day bag, that's the VW Golf of handbags, that it might be time to upgrade. The look I received clearly instructed me to mind my own fucking business.
Walking around London at night with a MacBook in a see-through bag.
Aaaah, the ol' "wdf do you know, man-fool; stick to footy and farting" look...
A friend of mine who takes cakes to games that she hand makes, had them confiscated at the Newcastle match as the bag they were in wasn't the right size and she was also heavily questioned about her diabetes medicine too.
She'd not had a problem before.
I think there was a drop off point for laptops when they first introduced it, but I'm not sure if there still is. Perhaps give Wembley or the TO a call.
I have to change bags when I go to a night game from work, and it is a pain -have you any idea what a lady carries in her handbag?!!
I have been using the plastic bag given with the ST pack but I put it in a carrier as I hate the whole world and his dog knowing the contents of my bag!
Still I would rather they were thorough in their searches if it means we can watch a game safely.

What the hell are you taking a bag to game for anyway?
All a bloke needs is what he can fit in his pockets...
Sorted.

Besides, my lycra Tottenham catsuit has no pockets.

So I normally ignore the emails from the club about match day, but I looked at tonights one and noticed:
A reminder for our fans regarding the change of bag policy at Wembley Stadium
We encourage fans to carefully read the following information ahead of attending any of our upcoming home matches, especially given we shall be running a similar bag policy at our new stadium – more on which we shall communicate in due course.
In summary, all ticket holders are prohibited from bringing a bag into the stadium unless it adheres to the Wembley Stadium regulations outlined as follows:
- Bags to be no larger than A4 in size
- Height 297mm (11.7 inches)
- Width 210mm (8.27 inches)
- Depth 210mm (8.27 inches)
Laptops permitted
Agreement has been reached for supporters to bring laptops into the stadium. Please note, although laptops cannot be stored in a bag that does not meet the criteria detailed above, laptop sleeves are permitted.
Is this completely new or has it been in place for months? So does that mean my relatively slimline 16"x12" laptop bag won't get in?
Given the amount of decent size laptop bags I see coming into the stadium during a weeknight, I'm getting a LOT of people will fall foul of this if they decide to implement it harshly.
What a terrible idea.

Has been the case for quite a while now.
There are a couple of drop off points for bags, extortionate charge for storing them during games
Like the contents of the Ark; one of lifes more endearing mysteries....
My theory has always been the reverse tardis effect... Absolutely huge on the outside, but room for little more than lippy, purse and a packet of polos once inside.
On topic: They were thorough searching anyway (in my experience)...
Bored people with job titles to justify most likely....
I can see that going well...
I have a 12" but it's not the size that matters it's what you do with it that's important. (Watching porn mostly.)15".... U see my problem?
Why didn't you say?The bag is totally justifiably now.
Get one of those Bluetooth keyboard/cases. The amount of people I see using surface pros (with the case/keyboard combos) instead of laptops these days, it'll not be noticed
I haven't been on a work night since December. Anyone know if they've been enforcing it?
