Nine clubs want football ground booze ban ended

[Guest]

You should all be clapping and cheering for 90 mins not drinking beer.

in standing areas it’d make sense, works fine on a terrace or in rail seating areas

I’ve just always poured my beer into the Pepsi paper cups and drank at my seat regardless.

I do not know if it is just me but I feel drinking at grounds are overrated.   There is a limited choice of beers and swigging from a plastic bottle just do not have the same effect as enjoying a draught pint in a well rounded glass down at the pub.   I also would rather not feel the need to go to toilets during the match if I have polished off a bottle or three.

A guy near me used to regularly whip out a can of Stella during the second half.

L1?

Pretty sure I’ve seen that a few times.

West Stand

 

Just did it so openly I don't think he even knew it was against the rules.

 

Remember him once raising it to a player (think it was Albrighton) wandering over to take a corner as if he was saying "cheers".

I would like to see this back. It would defiantly make the game more enjoyable in my opinion. Maybe because I am in my early twenties i'm not sure, but currently i tend to go down to the concourse for a lot of the game and drink and watch it on the screen, pointless i know but each to their own. If i drank in the stands I wouldn't throw it all over the place, yes there may be a little spillage. Anyway, it's what football is all about, making a day of it having a few drinks - and it would just add to the whole experience in my opinion.

I'm not going to apologize for enjoying a rare moment of cultural superiority on this forum.

Given the choiceof choice of drink in that last pic is beer flavoured water, I'm not so sure.

Makes me wonder why they can't just sell beer in soft drink paper cups, such as pepsi.

Echo this view. Enjoy my pre match routine of drinking decent, cheaper beer in Leicester's pubs. Come 2.45ish time for a break from the booze & am ready for a top up come 5.15ish.

It’s really weird. Paying for more expensive beer and having less choice and then watching the game on a smaller screen than you would in a pub, makes no  sense to me. 

[peterborofox]

I like it the way it is.

 

I don't want some yob or chav chucking beer around deliberately every time there is a goal.

 

Unfortunately idiots always ruin it for every one else

More like it.

I don't really see the need to have a drink in your seats.

 

Surely we can all go 45 minutes without a pint?

Well yeah, but if you do fancy a half time tipple you've then got to wolf it down in about five minutes once you've finally been served if you want to be back for the second half. I very, very rarely do drink at the ground coz the beer is toss and overpriced, but once or twice a season I might like the option to have something to sip on while I'm watching the game instead of having to neck a pint in the concourse before I'm allowed to.

I've always thought they do you a favour not letting you drink at your seat tbh given you basically need a mortgage for a watered down Singha.

You can get excellent local and craft beer at the baseball parks (even minor league), but you have to get up on your own two feet.

 

NFL games, the choices are fewer.  InBev pays dearly to be the "official beer", plus there is a huge pre-game tailgating scene for almost every pro (and college) team.  These folks set up in the same spaces for years, and few need another round once they get to the game.  Not that that stops them.

 

For lots of Browns fans, the tailgate IS the main event, because the football itself is all pain, no gain.  $9 Bud Light is just part of the masochism.

It's just going to result in wankers throwing their plastic cups full of beer because haha great bants lads.

 

Clubs should look at their catering and invest into things that get people their snacks/drinks quicker.

It's annoying hat we're building a £100m training ground but can't buy ****ing compass out of their contract

[LCFC FOX]

The pint throwing debate would happen for a few weeks, but it’d soon die down. 

 

A bit like when the referee first had vanishing spray, every ground was going oooooooooooooooh waaaaaaay when he drew his line. A few games later it got boring and stopped. 

 

 

[Mr Mister]

No way. Hooliganism would be brought back.
