Be warned but Virgin Trains invariably have alcohol bans on Saturday enforced by the British Transport Police - you have been warned.

Tranmere away this season, shant was banned on the rattlers to piccadilly but lime st was ok.
Your best bet is to buy your shant from the offy at euston if it doesn't say anything on the board about dry trains.

Not too bothered, would be more bothered if it was for Villa. But we're getting into Birmingham at 11 for Walsall, so plenty of time for shant :drink:.

Or freeze 'em over night, by time the rattler rolls out of Euston, they're perfect. :wink:

Won't matter how cold they are if OB take 'em off you when your jumping on the choo-choo. Hate to see shant wasted or worst still OB rob it so 4 cans of strongbow for a ching it is if not dry trains :drink:
Otherwise I'm on the Irn Bru :nono:

Is this for Walsall & Villa then? ???
I've always taken beers on trains out of Euston/Kings Cross, and never had any problems is this a new rule that has come in. A rule I've always feared..:angry:
I'm not dis-agreeing with you here btw, it's a genuine question.

When I went to Tranmere it was enforced as I was on a Manchester train changing at Crewe and MUFC were at home.

Not so sure for Walsall but I expect it to be enforced for Villa as CPFC etc all at Euston as well.

I've never had it done to me but have seen it happen. For the tranmere game I think it might have been cos millwall was at Stockport. It doesn't usually happen to us but I think it might have at the playoff final, have heard tell of large piles of confiscated shant at paddington :eek:
Like I said your best bet is to see what the score when u get to euston mate.

The Walsall game will be ok for beer but you wont be able to drink for the Villa game Virgin have really cut down on this this season. I was on a train to Darlington earlier in the season and some team were playing Sunderland (cant remember who) and there was a ban on booze and got talking to a copper and they search nearly everyone at the ticket barrier and he said if people are found drinking on the train they will get thrown off at the next stop.
