The Independent
City told a supporter that “sun cream will not be permitted on entry into the stadium.”
Manchester City have been criticized by a skin cancer charity after fans were told they could not take sun cream to the Etihad Stadium.
City’s supporter services team responded to a fan’s enquiry on Twitter prior to Saturday’s Premier League match against Bournemouth, where temperatures reached 31C, by saying: “Sun cream will not be permitted on entry into the stadium.
“We advise supporters to apply this before coming and to bring a hat and water.”
@ManCity Your supporter services team have got this wrong. You cannot expect a stadium full of fans (many of them children) not to have sunscreen with them. Help protect them – link up with someone who can provide the sunscreen inside the stadium. This is so disappointing. pic.twitter.com/6sXRCWocgJ
