Ronaldo Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Part of me agrees with QBG, like. Would be a shame for the majority - who like a pint before the game and at half time. But for too many c***s, watching a game of football is simply another piece of the weekend binge jigsaw, and serving booze at the ground facilitates this.

Jack Flash Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Some might see this as a bit extreme, but they should stop serving alcohol at football grounds imo. Agreed. Plenty of places around the ground to go before the match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 The pitch invasion was initially pretty funny tbf. I didn't go on myself and wouldn't have even if I had the opportunity but the initial nonsense was over in what, a minute or so at most. It got pretty fucking boring when the daft cunts at the front continued with it and started kicking off and delaying the game further (antagonised, I think, by Darlo fans who had come across). Didn't ruin a decent game for me though, loud support and half decent game for a friendly. For most of the little charvers at the front this will be their only game of the season, thankfully. In terms of the match I was impressed with Cabaye, Best and Ben Arfa. Sammy actually looked pretty good besides his goal when he came on too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, at most of the away games I've been to the fans have been fine, but there's always a chance that stuff like we've seen tonight can happen. There are always plenty of pubs near to the grounds and then alcohol is regularly available inside, its fine for the supporter who just wants to enjoy the game, but then you get charvers who can't handle their drink and it kicks off.

madras Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Would that mean not having league games on Saturdays ? Let's face it, a load of scrotes thought as its a non league place they'd take the piss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Stopping serving alcohol in the grounds will do fuck all, man. People drink in the pubs or when travelling down, stopping the extra drink or 2 in the ground will make nee difference whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Banning alcohol at grounds would else help to ease the problem of SJP half emptying after 35 minutes and not getting back to capacity till 55 minute mark. Some of the match goers are more interested in a pie and a pint out the back, than the actual match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Banning drink in the ground wouldn't make much of a difference IMO. The vast majority do their supping prematch anyway and if people want to carry on being daft, they'll carry on being daft regardless. I think, I might be wrong, drink is banned in Scotland and yet it still kicks off at OF games from time to time. From my experiences in Argentina, you struggled to get a drink near the stadium nevermind inside and yet we all saw what happened at River Plate last month.

I don't really condone it but the intial pitch invasion was on and then over in about a minute or so. It was the set of tossers at the front who continued to fuck about and fight amongst themselves that nearly got it called off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas in Jormany they serve drink in the stands and it's as laid back as you like. Solution - Serve more drink in the grounds. People clearly aren't pissed enough.

Interpolic Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 If I'm intent on getting quite drunk for the match then I'll have a few drinks at a pub outside the ground and get there just before kick-off. Banning alcohol from the ground would only stop me getting a pint at half time, which was the situation at a good few away games last year anyway.
