CARLISLE SMOKER BANNED FROM GROUND

A chain-smoking Carlisle fan has become the first supporter to be banned from a football ground in England for flouting the new smoking ban.
The unnamed man has been handed a season-long ban from the Brunton Park stadium after repeatedly lighting up.
According to a report in the Carlisle News and Star, 'Things came to a head at the first home match of the season against Oldham when the man, who stands in the Warwick Road End, refused to stub his cigarette out, despite being asked to by stewards.
'This led to him being told he will not be allowed to attend another home game this season.'
A spokesman for the club commented: "We are not being draconian and are trying to manage the ban sensitively, but this individual has been a repeat offender.
"We have noticed a number of people smoking in the ground, but when we pointed out they weren't allowed to, they stopped. This person has offended repeatedly and is not responding to our requests to put his cigarettes out."
