Not speaking with any knowledge on this, but it might possibly the case that bins in public places like stadiums are restricted for security reasons.Even at the Kassam I hate it that people leave their food and drink containers behind without taking them to the bins. That's said the amount of bins is abysmal in the north stand

Might be complete nonsense however, and I’m sure it’s more likely that Kassam just doesn’t want to fund a few bins!
When i went to Vue last week, they said to LEAVE rubbish on the floor to they can recycle it...As has been said, there are plenty of bins outside the stadium, but Saturday was a blustery day so may have contributed to some of the rubbish being blown back out of these bins.
There are also bins throughout the concourses, however these are managed by those who are also serving at the food/drink outlets so they can become fuller at busy times. But generally there are plenty of opportunities for people to clear their own rubbish.
As Ryan has said, this is mainly about people taking personal responsibility to throw away your rubbish appropriately. But sadly this isn't just about football games. As a family we make the point of collecting up all of our rubbish at the cinema and put in a bin on the way out. But it seems perfectly acceptable for others to just leave their s**t all over the floor and seats and expect others to clean up after them.
If your grandparents were saying this, then it doesn't sound like it is a specific generation, but rather multiple generations.Its a generational/selfish thing sadly - society is far more disposable than when you or I were kids and there wasn`t the "takeaway" plethora that exists today. I mean water in plastic bottles ffs? Haven`t these people got taps?
Yes I sound like my grandparents but its pretty true.
Must be camel because we got rid of the clown (allegedly)There appears to be 4 dashes after the c. I'm torn between clown and camel for the missing word.
Exactly. Every game, in the SSU, I get a coffee before the game, and before the 2nd half, and there's always a pile of rubbish on the counter, empty sugar wrappers and wooden stirrers, from where people put sugar in their drinks, but then have no bin to put the rubbish in.Without wanting to defend people who litter - but maybe if there were bins about it would help.
I never drink tap water I only drink bottle water I don't like tap water... @Northstandboy I had the same experience when I went to Vue last week leave the rubbish by your seat .If your grandparents were saying this, then it doesn't sound like it is a specific generation, but rather multiple generations.
Let's take your bottled water example. I (24) never buy bottled water, because I have a tap and it's a waste of money (and plastic).
My retired stepdad does buy bottled water, despite sitting at home all day, every day, with access to a tap and cups.
Railway Stations removed all bins after the IRA bombing of Kings Cross I believe .There were concerns raised after the Boston Marathon bombing about the potential for bins to be used to hide explosive devices in public places, and I think that there were specific concerns about these being in places where large numbers gather (entrance/exit points).
However, I would agree that it's far more likely Kassam saving himself a few quid than a decision based on a viable terrorist threat.

Now can have hoops with clear bags but it's certainly something that is a known possible and definitely not worth taking any chances with .

To be honest I drink alot of water and normally take 2,3 bottles to work each day so I find buying bottles of water suits my lifestyleGet a water filter for the tap water. Should do the trick.
For me I put my rubbish in a pile under my seat because I hope that it gets out in the right bins I only ever see one bin in the stadium and that's just as you walk in(East stand). Now obviously it's not the right attitude but the one bin I see is a black sack bin so non recyclables so where am I supposed to put my recycling
Yep you are right I do just leave it for somebody else to put in the bin ... I've been caught in future I will put all rubbish in my pocket and put it in bin on way out of the stadiumIsn't that just leaving it for someone else to put in the bin?
