So that's where Bob's been.

Let himself go a bit.

Let himself go a bit.

He's back with a new name because he didn't want to draw attention to himself. Then he promptly told everyone who he was.

I tell you what, it's about time football fans stopped accepting being treated like kids with regards to alcohol.

The queues are partly because all bottles and cans must be decanted. Also you can't bring booze to your seat, so everyone hits the bar at once. Throw in the fact that you can't buy a pint for a European game, and even though you've paid £300 for a corporate seat you have to close the curtains to have a drink.

These "rules" were put in place when football was a different game. It's about time we stood up for ourselves. The fences have come down, so should these draconian, Taylor-report measures,

I asked in another thread is this a form of discrimination?

We're being penalised for the crime of being football supporters and surely by allowing concert goers or rugby fans to drink alcohol in the same seat I can't is someway illegal. Maybe I'm wrong but seems that way to me.

The kind of people who set of fireworks in the concourse and smoke bombs every match ensure it stays this way. You don't get thousands of fans at other sports being aggressive to opposing fans the entire game.

Don't you just know that first time out at City, somebody would lock on to that dispenser, Barney Gumble style!

 

[TCIB]

What a fucking hero, i can drink a hell of a lot but can't down it for toffee.

Note:: ill do my own tracker for match torrents, public ones atm seem to be really struggling.
Ill sort the dang dutch-spanish match torrent asap.

 

[Hoghead]

that's like magic!! ..... gotta get me one of those and dump my current beer giver (the wife) ..... what are they called?

Divorced!

It would still take them half an hour to work out your change.

I was thinking people could walk round selling "Beer Tokens". Or even have wall mounted token machines. You prepay for how many/which beer tokens you want.

This stops the big queues near the bars, and allows people to get around the inner concourse without blockages. They must be losing loads of money from people who just cannot be bothered queuing up, and then missing part of the match. I've seen it nearly kick off so many times with queue jumpers, that this could be viewed as a safety solution!

Approach the counter and just hand over your token for your chosen beer. (they can age ID during the token exchange)

I fear this would be far to sensible or simple for it to happen...!

 

[MCFCTrick]

A great system .... but all City need to do is use a bit of common sense with the regular dispensers in place. A couple pouring (from ten minutes before half time) and a couple taking money and serving .... so feckin' simple, but beyond our club it appears ....

 

[GratefulDawg]

Does it work with real beer or just the A-B swill?

we should have the cashless systems a lot of colleges and schools are adopting, where you season card (ID card in colleges) can have money put on it through machines in the concourse or online and it is just taken off with a swipe or touch pad takes 30 seconds and not fucking about with change just swipe get beer/pie n go

 

[wagonman]

Here's how it works...

(The beer cups, not the card payment system.)

Get em in City. This would further improve the matchday experience for a lot of us

I'd hope it's much quicker than 30 seconds, because cash takes nowhere near that long. They'd only be able to sell 30 beers at half time.

30 seconds is a worst case scenario taking staff speed into account, customers not being ready or them just arsing about, 6 machines pouring four beers each , even at 30 seconds could serve between 180-720 transactions in 15 mins depending on number of pints each person is getting, we are trialing them at work now and we tend to serve a drink & snack within a few of seconds on the main

 

[BatBlue]

Cracking effort! He does look like he's about to chunder afterwards (not surprised, to be fair!)

Crikey! That's astonishing. Is he even old enough to drink???

LOL, looks like McLovin from Superbad

I was really worried until I realised it was a continuous loop

Is that because in your local people judder-man their way into their next pint?

 

[warpig]

Current situation at the bar seems to be:

ask for pint.
person you ask for a pint, asks soemone else to pour the pint.
pint gets poured.
someone else other than the person you Asked and the person who poured the pint picks it up/brings it to the till spilling most of it on the floor in the process.
Person you originally asked for the pint asks you what you ordered/takes the money.
Supervisor stands there doing nothing.

I'm no landlord, but surely this could be streamlined quite easily.

Agreed. I find it ridiculous when I watch a rugby league match at a premier league ground and in most cases can take my pint to my seat. determining factor is the ground regulations under which regulation has taken place - if only registered under the football regulations no chance of a pint!
