What is the worst reason you or someone else has been chucked out of a football ground?
Someone got chucked out at Brentford for 2 packets of crisps. Here is an account of it (from) http://www.griffinpark.org/forums/showthread.php?t=49332
"You Couldn't make it up!........
At about 5 to 3 yesterday a friend of mine entered the ground holding a Tesco bag with 2 bags of crisps inside.
He was running to take his seat when he was asked by a steward to show what was in the bag. Still running he opened the bag said what was in there and showed them " packets of crisps"
The steward then grabbed him. When the bloke with him protested they grabbed him as well. The police became involved and had them up against the wall and searched them after which they were thrown out of the ground!
I found out about this when I saw them after the game in the bar at the ground. I took them to see Pete Gilham to complain. Peter sent for a guy called Mr Hill who introduced himself as the "head of security" or whatever..... he seemed a very unpleasant individual with a constant smirk on his face. He couldn't comment but told us he would study any video evidence if there was any and get back to us with his comments.
These 2 fans (since 1962) have been friends of mine and the one who was initially challenged lives in Banbury and has done for the last 10 years and still attends every home game, travels to some away games is a lifeline member and as I say supported the club since the early 60's.
This just about sums up our dying club, when loyal, mature fans are evicted from the game. I am disgusted by this heavy handed approach and it's the final straw for me. As a result I will not be renewing my season ticket next year and will be cancelling my lifeline membership that I have had since it started.
I hear that Dougie (it's in the bag) White could well surface at the club again. I think they deserve each other!"

Our stewards are absolutely awful, show no respect. It doesn't even matter whether they are loyal fans or not, no-one deserves to be treated like that and hopefully there will be a protest next match. It could actually be quite funny
