Am I imaging things but weren’t fans allowed to have alcohol in their seats at the Euros? I’m wondering if that’ll ever happen as standard here.
There are downsides to having beer in the seats though. I go and watch Warrington and there are constantly people going past you in and out to go to the bar or the toilet, and I go in the standing stand, imagine that in the seated rows at City.Every other sport you can do this.
I watch rugby league. Very similar demographic to football (in fact most rugby fans are also football fans - sadly at Salford where I go most are rags) and there are zero problems.
It’s completely nonsensical.

And when a try is scored loads of people throw their beer up in the air. It’s rare you don’t get at least a pint over your head at some point in a game.
No idea when this trend of young lads throwing beer at sporting events started, they even play videos of places like Box Park on BBC Sport when England play saying things like “brilliant look at that” as everyone in sight throws their beer in the air.
Think it started during the World Cup 2018, possibly as a genuine reaction to the shock of Trippier’s early goal?

Im more than happy for the rule of no alcohol in the stands to remain in football.
Nice beer, a bit pricey but so much better them AmstelPlenty of 7 Brothers cans last night. Sadly I'm off the beer until Saturday night.
Ditto re Pancho's. Had the burrito at both the night games so far. Absolutely packed with filling and delicious. A bit messy at the end but there's plenty of napkins at the stall.The thieving twats just charged me 5.25 for a pint of vimto - sorry, ‘dark fruit cider’ at city sq.
Is that right?!
Fucking pricks.
Make sure you all check out Panchos burritos btw. The bloke who runs it, Enrique, is proper sound and they’re delicious. (I’m not paid and he’s not my mate, just been going to his stall in town for 10 years and his food is bang on, and he deserves this project at the Etihad to succeed).
