[Albion] Drinking alcohol in seats at football grounds

[bluenitsuj]

No. Of course not. If people can't go 45 mins without alcohol then they have an issue.
It also spoils it for the majority of fans when drinkers keep getting up and also getting covered in beer when a goal is scored.

Really does my head in, that. BBC/ITV making it worse by glorifying it when showing 'scenes' from fan parks during WCs/Euros

You’re right, and some of the types that watch England in these fan parks think it’s compulsory to throw beer in the air.

I think the club are missing a trick by not tying a small bag of spice to each flag when they are placed on seats before each game. Could do wonders for the atmosphere.

What a stupid reply, not funny at all We are not all druggies…. I’ve seen the idiots at away games sniffing crap.

Perhaps you are unfortunately afflicted with a series of peanut-bladders in your row. I can't account for that.

I sit quite near the middle of a WSU row, and survive most games relatively unmolested from the trevails of those who must make constant exits back and forth to the concourse.

You’re very fortunate in this case.
As I’ve mentioned previously, many people still move about during the action, be it for a piss, a pie, sweets, water, arriving late, leaving early. etc.

It IS a free country as we know, however my gripe is the timing. (If you go to the Cricket at somewhere like Lords you don’t move till the over has finished) If I go, I sit near the end anyway, and I keep it to a minimum. It’s when the ball is out of play with not much happening.
Puzzlingly people get up and go for a hot dog when we’re on the attack.

…..and don’t get me started on the early leavers (that’s their choice) but then decide to fuckin hover in the aisles to watch that 87th minute attack.

Anyhoo I digress, today I shall be at Haywards Heath (v Peacehaven) and will be getting as pissed as two parrots whilst the match is in progress.

I must say that one of the perks of non-league is watching the football with a beer in your hand, it is all very relaxed.

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

PL and EPL no. Non league clubs, all standing or whatever, shouldn't be much of a problem I'd have thought.

If you remove the sales of booze at non league matches, the football pyramid would collapse in about half an hour. One good thing came out of the lockdown was non league fans able to have a beer pitchside during FA Cup and FA Vase matches, the old rules were financially damaging to clubs.

An alcohol ban at that level would be as disastrous as the prohibition of Springfield.

Remember seeing a youtube clip where a bloke clearly had a full pint ready for a goal celebration.
He wasn't drinking it at all, then reached for it, to throw in the air when his team scored.


I also get irritated by the youths who insist on hurling themselves over seats to create a "limbs" moment.
So fake, purely for the cameras.

f***ing infantile.

The whole social media concept of “limbs” is just bollocks. “Limbs” was Hereford away, or Jimmy Case at Highbury, not some all seated end at QPR or Forest, it’s physically impossible.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

No it shouldn't.

People inconveniencing everyone else, by getting up every four minutes for a refill or a piss, throughout the game, are f***ing annoying. And getting showered in beer every time a goal is scored or conceded because people are immature pricks, isn't great fun either.

Enjoy your beer on the concourse. Cheers

Could have closed the thread after this post really. Says it all
