Yet another example of the harsh treatment football fans get from authorities in general. Harsh treatment? It was the drunken behaviour of football fans that led to the ban. And we are all still feeling the consequences of that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway ultimately not that I condone it, of course being unlawful but if someone is truly determined enough they will find a way to surreptitiously drink in view of the pitch. People are resourceful and creative when they need to be. I'm sure I don't need to post any.

Red-Robbo Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 I vote no. The two members of the Dolman Weak Bladders club who sit in front of me already get up a minimum of three times a match, usually during penalty box action. If they could drink while the match was active, they'd be popping to the loo more often than Geoff Twentyman says "Top Man" during a phone in! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityloyal473 Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Drinking is a central feature of my day out at City. But I wouldn't want to drink during the match - just wouldn't feel fight. So it's a no from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, if fans drink in moderation. Bad, if they don't and create Ashton Gates' version of "28 Days Later". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the early 70's (OK, I know, fifty years ago), at Orient''s ground there was a bar serving straight onto the terracing behind one of the goals.

Waffleflap Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 A definite no from me. It will breed more assholes than we already know. I love a drink but I'm sure people can hold back for 45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
