beaverface Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Can somebody answer me a hypothetical question...We all know that your allowed to stand on terraces and drink beer at Rubgy, Cricket grounds etc...,But what would happen if for instance, if we sold the East End to another company completely unattached to Bristol City and then when City play at home, this third party company happen to have an event where they allow people to gather on a terrace and enjoy a few drinks etc..The third party wouldn't be bound by any football league rules or regulations because they are not a football club, they're just an events business that happens to be right next to a football pitch (effectively like the houses were behing the open end before the Atyeo was built) and they gather the same day a football match occurs.Is this something we could get away with?

Barrs Court Red Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Certainly an interesting thought! That's what I call thinking outside the box.I don't see how it could be stopped in all honesty, although I suspect getting a lisence from the council would prove to be tricky!

Nibor Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 The "event" would never get a license nor would the police allow it to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frome Valley Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 That's because those lisences are part of the ones given to a football club, which includes no alcohol to be consumed in view of the playing surface during the 90 minutes.Only at certain levels this as many screwfix clubs do have bars that operate during the game in view of the pitch e.g Devizes, Melksham and Westbury.

Sir Colby-Tit Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Quite possibly. The most stupid thread I have ever read.Your first sentence would imply that you agree it is possible that the scenario suggested could happen. Your second sentence contradicts this.

Come to think of it wasn't that tried in the 70's . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
