Skin cancer charity leads furious backlash against Manchester City for BANNING supporters from bringing their own suncream into stadium despite 32C heatwave

A skin cancer charity is leading a furious backlash against Manchester City after the club banned supporters from bringing their own suncream into the stadium - despite temperatures reaching a 32C.

Manchester City's Premier League fixture against Bournemouth kicked off at 3pm yesterday when supporters were facing a searing heatwave - with those sitting close to the pitch exposed directly to the sun.

But fans were told they were not allowed to bring their own suncream inside the Etihad Stadium.

Instead, supporters were only allowed to bring a 500ml, clear, disposable water bottle that could be refilled at the ground.
