[Football] Proposal to allow alcohol in the stands

Sorry didn’t know that wasn’t a thing.

Hey, no need to apologise

Well it is at some grounds so I wouldn't worry about it.

A few (tedious, boring) people have jumped on the "I'm a massive pedantic arse" train and decided that's what matters. Disregard them.

Indeed - you don’t want the constant beer journeys during the game but you should be able to sip a pint at the start of each half.

The beer luzzing is a total non issue - any clown doing that would quickly get CCTV’d and have a few games’s ban. They’d learn quickly. The unstewarded away end at Roma was no guide at all

A lot of this is Thatcherite snobbery, you can’t trust the oiks to behave. Set clear boundaries and clear sanctions and they’ll be zero problem

If we are having beer luzzing mitigated by CCTV please can we also retain our bottle tops?!

Out of curiosity what other PL grounds allow you to pop out at HT for a ciggie

Off the top of my head, the City Ground, Turf Moor, and apparently St Mary's.

I'm not a religious attendee at away games so I'm probably missing some.

Ta.

Came onto this thread to refer exactly to this. There is no way this would be allowed by the Barber Fun Police.

Also people wouldn't throw crisp fivers up in the air at any slightly exciting opportunity so why do it with a crisp lager?!

I used to think allowing this would moderate people's intake as the problems tend to arise due to the stupid nature of the last five minutes before the game three pint bingers but now i've just decided we, as football fans in general, cannot be trusted at all.

I genuinely also think we as a club have a higher % of dickheads per 18-40 demographic for some reason .

Where are you getting lager for a fiver at the Amex? Assuming it’s a special low key kiosk? DM me hun

The Fosters in the East is about £5.10/£5.20

What gives?

You are intolerant of people with different opinions and practices to yourself?

My comments were observations, no criticisms. I have no issue with people necking copious pints of lager over 90 minutes, and luzzing it around, but like most things there’s a time and a place…..save this behavior for BoxPark

I’d be in favour of this if they kept the kiosks closed during the game (including the self service machine) so people don’t keep getting up and down
