Alcohol in the Stands. (1 Viewer)

Can't see any scenario where that is a good thing.

EDIT: Especially when a goal is scored.

There's a sizable minority of football fans who make it their life's mission to be bellends, and the fucking insufferable Boxpark culture means it's inevitable that pints will go flying when a goal is scored.

I've posted before that I was hit by a basically full pint someone had managed to smuggle in after George Thomas' goal at Wembley, so got a good smack on the top of the head and soaked in lager. I've been 100% against the idea of bringing pints back to seats ever since.

News today is that there may be pilot studies to re-introduce alcohol pitch side.

Not for me.

Our defence looks like they've been on the piss already, so I cant see why more alcohol pitch side is going to help.

Too many bellends will want to throw a pint in the air if we score, for that reason alone I wouldn't want them to allow it.

The chances of a bellend having a full pint in his hand at the precise moment we score our 1 goal in 5 matches is pretty remote tbf.

if/when we do actually score a League goal at home its more likely to be moet champagne, than warm flat lager thats in the air !

If its in designated areas then fine, if you want to drink during the game you do so in the knowledge that you may get soaked. Everyone else stays sober and dry

Interesting to hear that your whole "alcohol at sporting events" policy is based on once being sat in the wrong seat.

It’s actually going to rugby matches that puts me off, no pint chucking but you have to move every 2 minutes to let people out for a piss or another beer run. Ended up with wet feet more than once too when someone shuffling along the row kicks over 4 pints stashed under someone’s seat

Utterly stupid thinking, even with disposable Tommy tipper cups. Just goes to show what a pleb Burnham is. PM without anyone voting for him

Its actually quite normal for a Prime Minister to be un-elected.
You dont actually vote for a PM you vote for your local constituency MP. The leader of his/her party then becomes PM if their party wins the most constituency seats.

PM's can be replaced by their own party or can resign at any time.

In fact since the end of WW2, there has been 19 prime ministers, 12 of which were actually "un-elected.

(Can you tell im bored today?)

Yup exactly this - bad enough with without having booze in the stands - have missed a goal before when people get up after 20 mins - even with my mega prostrate I can last 45 😮
 
most brain dead idea ever.
people cant be trusted to drink with respect, you will have all sorts of problems, they will dash a pint over the players when they take a throw-in etc
 
Not sure how we get it so wrong. Been to plenty of football in Spain, Germany and Denmark where having a beer whilst watching the game at in your seat is the norm. No wet feet, clothes or hit by flying cups
 
Darmstadt we drank in the stands, specifically designed plastic mugs and not one problem
Granted there were very few morons in attendance but not 1 incident
 
The first c**t that throws dark fruit cider or berries and cherries shite in my direction will need a straw to drink his next one!
 
Just goes to prove how those bunch of fucking yuppie out of touch robbing cunts know about things that don't concern them, unless its a ploy because one of the wankers have a raincoat factory, the morons that go to matches would be in their fucking element chucking beer around and causing problems.. God fucking strewth the fucking tosspots can't even run the country correctly unless its another stealth tax they are trying to invent to fucking shaft the alleged electorate even more.. Fuck off you cunts...big rant I know but needed to get it off my chest
 
Will be a nightmare, people constantly up and down on seats.
 
The only silver lining in all of this might be that if I do want a pint at half time, that I might have a small chance of being able to receive it during the actual break and without missing any of the game or having to do it in two slurps.
 
Why am I only one who thinks this is a good idea

How's that work if you have a season ticket and there's no where else for your group to move to ?
 
People will inevitably follow their usual matchday routine the first few weeks of this being implemented, get pissed before the game anyway then end up absolutely obliterated when they add another 2-4 pints drink during the match on top of their regular intake.
 
Amazing isn't it. I've been to so many games in Europe where the fans are trusted to drink. They don't always behave but for the most part are left to get on with it and it is fine. It's a normal part of football.

Only in the UK the 'you can't do that' 'you can't say that' culture takes over and everyone is babysat because they are expected to spoil it.

Don't think that applies to Burnham, he attends football and rugby league games and his argument is, and has been since before he was PM, that football supporters shouldn't be treated differently to their rugby counterparts.
However, hes conveniently ignoring the amount of bell ends who thing throwing beer about would be hilarious, the fucking gimps

Most people seem to be against it because of the bellends who'll inevitably have their phones out ready to film themselves chucking their beer in the air. That sort of planned/forced celebration doesn't happen in other countries - if a group where doing that intentionally in my local Curva they'd get knocked out.

Because there'd be people who would spoil it! Its a given.

That was my first thought but then the implementation would raise other issues. If you do / don't want to drink but aren't in the designated area you'll have people kicking off about having to move from the seat they've had for years.

You'd hope people could behave and be sensible but obviously that won't happen. Even without this there's way to many people disappearing to the concourse mid game. Would be a nightmare with people going for beers, and then inevitably needing to go for a piss.
