Regular reapplication of sunscreen should be a feature of most afternoons at the footy, but the Manchester City faithful will find it difficult as their team has outlawed fans bringing any into the stadium.
Temperatures topped 30 degrees Celsius in parts of England over the weekend, but fans of Manchester City still were not allowed to bring sunscreen into their stadium for the team's most recent game.
The club's supporter services Twitter account flagged the importance of staying hydrated at the game, but when a fan asked if they could bring sun protection to the game, they were told no. "We advise supporters to apply this before coming and to bring a hat and water," the account replied, linking to a 'Matchdays at Etihad Stadium' page on their website that did not detail the sunscreen policy.
The account later tweeted that the city's metro rail was struggling due to the heat, advising people to walk home from the afternoon game "where possible".When one Twitter user pointed out that this was not a unique policy at major sporting events, the charity suggested a simple answer.
