I'd quite like service to my seat. Those beer sellers who sell the bottles from the cool bags on the concourse could make a killing if they wandered up and down the stairways.

Thats the way its done in the states. Never even leave your seat...

At £4 a pint... don't think there'd be much being thrown around

Paid more for that for a pint in Northern quarter. Tbf though, I really do feel that it's a stupid rule tbh considering they let us drink (and suprisingly more substances!) on the concourse...though admittedly, you don't get as many Dicks at Rugby games as you do football (Generally speaking from experience)

The problem is football fans are treated differently as they act differently, and only have themselves to blame.

So I only have myself to blame do I?

I wasn't even born in the 80's so why should I suffer as a consequence?

I go and watch the Rugby with my step dad and can drink there - should they stop serving me because I also like watching football?

If someone act's a dick cause they can have a pint in the ground, kick them out. They shouldn't prevent people from drinking 10 meters away from where they drink now because of a few fights that happened 30 years ago!
 
A lift on a drinking ban at your seat would last about one week before being enforced again. Sad but true.

Most fans including city are decent but football does attract more dickheads than rugby, just a fact of life, allowing this minority to have beer during the game really isn't worth it, 90 minutes without a beer once a week won't kill even the most ardent alky never mind anyone else

Not to mention everyone around you wanting a piss every two minutes

I see more fighting at the rugby league these days than i do football. Finals can be full of it with the two sets of fans in the final and then the fans of all the other clubs that come along too - which doesn't happen at football finals. There are mixes of fifteen odd different sets of fans all on the piss all day either at Wembley or The Swamp.

This was Sam Platts near The Swamp on Saturday
and league fans were singing "fuck off rah rahs this city is league" all day on Saturday around town any time any Union fans were in sight, which was trying to do one thing only - entice a reaction to start a fight.

Also on the topic of this thread beer is slung all over people without a second thought in the standing stands at rugby league grounds (not so bad in the seated stands) and at most away stands (seated or not). It can be really annoying, especially if you're out in town after a game with a beer soaked shirt on. It's good where i stand at Warrington though because i stand at the top of the stand and avoid all that so enjoy a few bottles while watching the match so i think it would be a non-goer at the footy because the same would happen.
 
Hip flask filled with whatever is your tipple, Drink at seat, not paying top dollar for a pint of watered down piss in a plastic pot, job done, works for me!
 
on the subject of fans behaviour at rugby games, my mate worked the security for the games at swamp and etihad.. He said if football was like that he wouldnt do the games, and he is a big guy 6 foot plus and brick shithouse size.. He said fans pissed up, evicted loads out the stadium far more than football, groups of lads all over fighting..

Ive been going to city since '79' it was fine then back of kippax and bringing a pint to where you stood, never a problem.. I think if it came back now it would be bedlam because the minority would mess it up for the majority who just like a beer while they watch the game.. It would be banned again no sooner than it makes a comeback, can see rugby changing soon to with a ban..

I submit to your greater knowledge of rugby games, I fell for the rugby fans are well behaved which we are fed by the media, my new view is it should be banned from rugby events as well as opposed to allowing it during football matches

I presume the cricket lot still behave themselves?
 
I don't think Football or Rugby should have beer in view of the game. The violence reasons have been well covered already, but in such intensive sports I don't want to miss crucial bits of action because the bloke selling beers is standing in my way or I'm letting someone past me with an armful of drinks.

Beer in view of the game works in Cricket, Baseball and NFL because they have frequent pauses and last at least 3 hours.

I don't see the problem with taking my beer back to my seat so I can drink it pleasurably rather than down it in one, which probably increase the numbers needing the toilet.
I'd shut the bars five minutes after kick off so people wouldn't be continually getting up and down for more, but let them take it with them
