I was at Hertha Berlin earlier this month, and instead of being in the pub till a minute before kick off, I got to the stadium 20-30 minutes before, had a Pint or two, went and sat down with another two so I didn’t have to get up again, and then got another one at half time. If that was in Scotland, I’d have probably done that all in the pub before hand! If people are in earlier we could probably make more from pre match sponsors etc. They had beer stalls and such set up outside, and we have a few places where we could do this. It wouldn’t be too hard to put up something to cover people during the rainy days, but would be brilliant when it’s sunny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambos1983 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Utter bollocks to suggest behaviour would be any worse. Folk are already getting booze down their necks at the pubs close to 3PM. If it makes money for the club then make it happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanbauld Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I can remember watching West Ham during my London days (late seventies onwards) and having a relaxing pint (in plastic mug) on the terracing while watching the match. No trouble then but whats to say there wouldn't be now, if it happens it needs to be done in a very gradual manner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely folk can go a couple of hours without a drink and enjoy the match. Fine for those that are responsible but it will be those that abuse it that spoil it for the many. **** me, I am getting old! Tbh the overall match day experience elsewhere in europe is far superior. Cant beat a pint and a bratwurst/hot dog in your seat. Been to football in germany, czech, poland etc and matchday experience is just class. Admit when travelling you always sort of view it with holiday specs on though. So that said i probably agree that couldnt be trusted with it here. Id guess there would be early issues to spoil it but if it were to persevere youd probably find the mentality would eventually change in that those who want to bevvy wouldnt guzzle as much pre match. So hypothetically it could actually be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it happens at all it will be on the concourse/designated areas. Which i completely understand but for me defeats the point as it adds nothing to match day experience. So from that perspective, bin the idea now and save themselves the hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackLadd Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Was the uglies cup riot in 1980 that the ban stemmed from. The ban should have applied to them only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real irony is that the possibilty of alcohol being sold was being discussed in 2016 until the weefers invaded Hampden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can go out afterwards and pish on people's cars and eat each other's shite. All good fun, of course... not done the second things on your list but yes can take pints to your seat while at the rugby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cheeky little Beaujolais, with a fine head and good mature body, delicately sampled in Mercat winery, Quickly followed at 2.55 by a half bottle of £4.99 Polish vodka on the number 1 bus....,.....
