Hope someone out there can help.

It states on the Wembley Website that you cannot take in a camera that has interchangeable lenses. But if you only took one lens with you would you be able to take the camera in?

Also, do they make you take everything out of your bags? My handbag is like an Aladdins cave with everything a girl might need!

Any of you out there who have been in recent times and can advise? Cardiff made you take your water bottles out but didnt have problems with cameras and back packs.

I think even if you took just the one lense they'd still deem it to be a professional camera as thats what they don't allow. Best to email them and enquire about it.

Nope, I have only ever been asked to open it, they have a quick look and then let you in - we had bottles of pop underneath a t shirt at the top of the bag and they didn't even move the t shirt!

Technically they should've asked you to remove your contents, searchers are not allowed to put their hands in anyones bags! They can feel the contents from the outside though! Depends on how vigorous the searching is!

I would have had no problem with that tbh, we realised walking to the ground that we had forgot to leave the drinks on the coach and thought we would lose them when they saw them in the bag - was happy we didn't though saved paying service station prices on the way home!

Personally I see no problems with plastic bottles but I have been to places where they refuse them and yet sell them inside!

I can't wait to see the new Wembley and I will have my little boy with me so my camera and bottles of pop for him will be with me regardless!

Some places, including Wigan and Hull, have made me remove the bottle tops when going in. Others, such as Cardiff, haven't allowed them in at all.

If it's the former then I find taking a couple of spare tops, collected from empty bottles at home, can come in more than useful.

Ooh it's just like reading Take-a-Break.

The problem with this sort of thing is that it's dependent on the attitude of the steward/security gonk you happen to encounter - at Cardiff last season the Catalan supporters semed to have got the annual output of a medium sized vineyard through the turnstiles

Cheers everyone. Its the camera thing thats bothering me the most. I know I'll have to buy water etc at inflated prices. But Hubby has a digital SLR camera which he can change lenses on, seems a real pity if he can't use it!

I`ve had that as well, or at least my wife has. Being forced to drink, or give up, a can of pop at the gate (because it`s `dangerous` and you `might throw it`) only to find cans of pop on open sale inside is infuriating to say the least.

i had no problems taking my camera into wembley last season, not as flash as one mentioned in an above post, but still had a 10x optic zoom, so you should be ok, look for the stewards who don't speak english and go in past them!!
