Great idea, infact if I take my missus to the match I wonder if you are not using the socket she could maybe plug her iron in and do some of the weekly ironing during any lull in the activity on the pitch. I would love to see someone ironing at the game. I've seen a few games over the years where this would have been more exciting

What about a microwave for a half time pie?

To avoid attention from the stewards smuggle your kettle in under a top hat. I don't want to smuggle it in, I want to openly bring it in shame free. Nothing states I can't bring it in. Nothing states you can't bring a combine harvester in either.

Potentially somebody could roll up in a combine harvester with a kettle, not a lot they could do if I point out the board outside the ground?

As an electrical engineer I must say I am a little concerned with all this talk of kettles, irons, microwaves and George Formby grills being plugged into various sockets throughout the stadium. I would suggest that each of you take a decent diesel generator to supply the necessary power for each heating device. I am certain that the stewards will let you in and you won't be heard with the noise of the crowd building to a crescendo when SJW hits the second half winner Could you tell what load a microwave , say 8 kettles and a george formby grill would take and would these said items require rcd protection at a football match. I need this information before i construct a letter to tony scholes Yeah no problem, microwave and GF grill about 2kW total, kettles about 20kW total all in all about 22kW, suggest that you either buy around 8 of these babies: www.tool-net.co.uk/p-369758/hyundai-hy3000sei.html?gclid=CMbBkOeXiMQCFbPKtAodtnsAKgand a bag load of 13A rcd's just in case we have a rare windy rainy night at the Brit. Advantage is they look a bit like a suitcase, so it will look like you are going on your holidays at the turnstile. OR alternatively you could pull the stadium lights and take a direct feed from there, will be a bit dark but fairly cosy with a warm cuppa and a candle or two to watch the game by

Hes used to crowds rescued him from the circus. Might have trouble getting him through the turnstile though. Will also need to consider the person sat behind him.

Hes called Gordon after Banks. Crouch has annoyed him. He thinks crouch is trying to be taller than him and in gordon world he thinks being the tallest always means hes in charge.
Good idea no problem at the gates. Just wear he can sit now?

Initially, it sounds like a good idea. I'd give it only two weeks before you attract a scrum of tenner-clutching Stokies, desperate to buy a hot cuppa off you, pushing and shoving their way to the front, while you serenely and sedately pour out cups of tea and coffee at the rate of about two every ten minutes. Even then, it would be better than the efficiency at the concourse refreshement kiosks. Would you be able to wear a basball cap and look a bit dopey as well?

Have all of the subs, and even squad members not named, warm up on the sidelines on treadmills and exercise bikes..Have said machines wired up to a generator to power and small domestic appliances that the crowd are using, that way it is free to use, and keeps the players fit. If any surplus is generated sell it back to the grid to maybe fund new signings in the summer window, or even fill in the corners...Pure Genius...

This is opening up a whole new can of worms. What else could you bring in that wasn't expressly forbidden? Suit of armour? AK47? Can of worms?

My favourite thread title for a while.
Whatever happened to Lord Eff? I'm sure he'd be able to give you sound advice on how to maximise the level of home comforts available to you while taking in the latest bout of footy.

It's a white one, but I've added red stripes to add a stoke theme. It's a kenwood. Well I don't see the problem then. Maybe add a crest to the kettle just to make sure, or a picture of SJW. Bob's your uncle.
I wouldn't put a crest on it. The Stoke City mossad trained copyright police will be on to it in a flash and confiscate it.

There are some stupid people and stupid threads on this board but this one takes the biscuit! I know some people are having a joke but even suggesting up to eight kettles could be powered off extension leads is just unbelievable. It's an evening game FFS & that many appliances will trip the floodlights making it very difficult for some to find their way out of the stadium and that would not only be stupid but dangerous as well.
Much better to save the tea making for the Palace game. No sugar in mine ta.
