Time for alcohol restrictions to be lifted.... FSF comment

It's not so much the beer these days as the shit that people put up their nose that is one of the main problems.

I've said it dozens of times on here but it's a form of discrimination and I'd be fairly certain could be overturned with a legal challenge. How I can't drink in my seat today but could tomorrow if rugby was being played is disgraceful.

Exactly .... and at gigs in stadiums, they actively encourage it by having sellers going through the crowd ....

Having been sat in with the Barmy Army in Australia, everyone pissed and insulting the locals and doing the conga, I find it fucking ludicrous I can't have one pint of overpriced weak piss in the stadium.

Edited for accuracy.
 
I can understand the logic of the ban for the top 2 or 3 teams but if your following a bottom side surely you should be allowed a drink to ease the misery.
 
You'll be surprised how many fans will moan like fuck when fans everywhere are up and down from seat to bar all game.

Probably and you just know that getting covered in beer would become a regular occurrence in some areas of the ground when a goal is scored. Having said that, I do think it is a disgrace that you can't take a beer to your seat.
 
We will be sampling lots of Moritz & Estrella Damm before the game however. Its party time when City are in town. The problem i have is the headache you get around half time when you are sobering up. Its only a short term issue though as the bars are open late.

I've drunk beer on the terraces at numerous rugby league grounds. Its fairly easy to do without upsetting other fans. The grounds are not usually rammed,its easy to negotiate your way around people when returning from the bar. Its a different matter at the big games played at full all seater stadia. I've seen plenty of aggro at the Grand Final, people spilling drinks or constantly getting up and down to go to the bar. I know some RL fans who argue that they're the ones being disciminated against!

If they do relax the rules, I think initially it should be restricted to allowing you to bring a beer to your seat before kick off, and at half time. See how that goes before opening the bars for all of the game.
 
Every time I go to Toronto FC I have a drink during the match first and second half it's great. As one of the comments pointed out Maggie set the ball rolling when they done then massive cover up

If it's that important for some people, they should just watch matches in a pub. Problem solved.

Do you have an issue with people wanting to drink in their seat? I wouldn't think it is such a big issue for many people that they would choose to not go to the game but that doesn't mean that plenty of people wouldn't like to be able to have a drink while they watch the match. It just seems quite an odd and random rule to me, I'm not really sure what they think it achieves. It doesn't stop people being pissed at the match, that's for sure, it just inconveniences people unnecessarily.

The point I am making is that watching the football should be more important than having access to alcohol for forty-five minutes. It's bad enough having to miss some of the match because of having to stand up for a) latecomers for the kick-off, b) people who can't hold their pee until half time, c) people who leave the first half early so they can get to the bar before the crowds start, d) people who arrive back late from their half-time drinks, e) people who can't hold their pee until full time, and f) people who want to leave the match before full time for whatever reason.

I'm not anti-drink, (I drink far too much alcohol as it is,) but I want to watch the match thank you very much.

I'm one of those lucky, gifted people who can stand up and still see things.
