Ipswich Town think we should be able to.... Ipswich chief executive Simon Clegg is seeking Football Association and Football League support for a change in the law that would allow football fans to enjoy alcoholic drinks in the same way that followers of other sports such as rugby and cricket enjoy. Ipswich believe that football fans have been âunfairly targetedâ in comparison to followers of other sports, and wants clubs to have the power to choose when and how they sell alcohol on a game-by-game basis. The club believe that the atmosphere at football grounds has changed sufficiently to mean alcohol is not a risk to public order, and that allowing drinking could enhance the atmosphere and enjoyment of fans. Supporters are banned from drinking in their seats during games, or âwithin sight of the pitchâ 15 minutes before kick-off, under a law passed in 1985 that specifically restricted the sale and consumption of alcohol at football matches. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...wich-Town-want-to-call-time-on-booze-ban.html In principal we should be able to, but I suspect it would only take one small incident for the whole thing to be binned again.
I'd rather they didn't, whenever I go watch Yorkshire its just a drinking contest for some with the cricket as a distraction.
It's a nice idea, but it'd only take 5 minutes before one Stokie decided to twat another round the head with a dustbin at half time and it would be back to square one.
I used to play village cricket. Best bits were the tea in the middle of the game and the pub at the end. And I was too **** to have to worry about buying a jug for 50 runs or 5 wickets!
I think you are thinkin of a Blackburn fan that was throwin dustbins after a few drinks at the brit Had nothing to do with us lot though I cud be wrong lol
If you think its a pain with people leaving their seats now during the match, just wait until they want to go get a pint or two. And then later, have to go get rid of it. Then repeat, ad naseum. I love my beer but its a pretty sad person that can't do without one for 45 minutes.
Not in St Pauli - they have a little train that goes all around the stadium with hotdogs on it and a personal mini beer pump
maybee if you could take a pint to your seat people wouldnt feel the need to chuck as many down thier neck before kickoff. anyways theres a fair few hip flasks that get drank on match day.
He's a mental, middle-aged bloke with a tub of gel and highlights in his hair, who has single-handedly redefined the term 'alcoholism'
He's one of the Goole lads & he gets so pissed before all matches he very rarely gets in. Dunno his real name.
Aren't those Goolies the ones that always sit at the front at away games and spend all their time shouting abuse at the stewards? Easily distinguishable by that short young fatty who always tags along with them.
I dunno if they try get to the front or not, at Forest they were behind me, and i was near the back. You might be thinking of Guzzler, he's quite tubby.
