Topper 123 Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Bit of a strange one but speaking to a mate about pints under ground , he said he’d use it more if the city used the rigid plastic glass rather than the flexy one were you waste half your drink as soon as pick it up ,any think it would benefit club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 They use them at rugby in 1 & 3 pint sizes. Deposit £1 I believe but not certain as never bought alcoholic drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great fun to watch all the kids scamper round collecting discarded empties and earning some extra pocket money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the cricket at Old Trafford a couple of years ago we went to return ours as we were leaving at the end of the day and in front of us at the bar there was a girl who was no older than about 11 or 12 pocketing £25 from what she'd been round and collected.

I think at AG they only let the kids return 10 max. Still, a tenner for doing not much is a great return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galley is our king Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Brilliant idea! If anyone sees me struggle across the south stand concourse using 2 crutches looking more like bloody bamby on ice because the floor is like a cider ice rink, they would agree!!!

sticks 1969 Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 At the friendly in Germany a couple of years ago I think it was 2 euros back on the cups Locals actually waited for the gates to open to rush in and pick the cups up me and the lad I was with picked up a few on the way out expecting it to be a joke and ended up pocketing about 40 euros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don’t advertise the fact when you buy your 1/3 pints! Wondered why their (I presumed) litter collectors were so enthusiastic and efficient in swiping the empties off the terrace.

steviestevieneville Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Think the difference is at the rugby & cricket you can drink while watching the game. If you had to take it back before kick off or half time it would be chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
