Duck_fundee Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Not sure of the law but think would not be to bad of an idea. Give punters voucher at turnstilles as you enter two to four they then have to hand them over at the bar when they pay for a drink. Other ideas to get fans back would be to maybe get fans into town handing out leaflets to the public, a sms text messaging service with who we are playing bus details etc.. A smoking section add that on top of a decent team, just a thought. and maybe price our games by grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldPoster Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 smoking section would be braw.plenty open spaces eh. the only problem with smoking in the ground is that the stand shave three sides and a roof, which in scotland is not illegal to smoke in a building od that description Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 It's illegal to serve alcohol inside a stadium in Scotland too, is it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Norris Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 It's illegal to serve alcohol inside a stadium in Scotland too, is it not? The answer is definitely 'yes', but I never quite understand how people are allowed to drink in hospitality suites - especially when there's no food/meal involved. Or how the Muirton Suite fits into the equation as a 'pub' underneath one of the stands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SRU have, I believe, a license to sell alchohol during matches. Not sure if tehy can use it for Hearts matches though. I think the hospitality is covered as these are free bars.

That's not true - you can buy a season ticket/membership for the Campbell Suite, and use a cash bar for the best part of 2 hours before each home game. I suppose the fact you have a 'membership' instead of a season ticket, could be construed as making it a private club rather than a public bar? Same for the Muirton and making it "season-ticket holders only"? The SRU were turned down for their alcohol licence, although they might have applied again since. For rugby games in the last few seasons, they employed a huge marquee on one of the training pitches as a 'beer tent' (and bloody good it was, too!)

Duck_fundee Posted August 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 pitty about our law, think the clubs could make money out of it, many a time rushing to the game for kick off for a game from the pub, where as i could be in the ground having a beer. works well down south.

There was a problem a few years back and Saints fought it and from memory it was due to the cash bar. Do they not stop selling in these bars something like 30 mins before kick off?? The SRU started selling alchohol at last the babas game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SRU started selling alchohol at last the babas game. Good to hear that. If nothing else, it might show that a crowd in Scotland can behave itself...

pezza70 Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 At Sydney FC home games, the bars stay open half and hour after the game is finished, plenty of the supporters all hang around have a beer and a laugh. When summertime starts there is usually a bbq going after the game next to the one remaining bar which is a designated later close and that one will stay open sometimes up to 2 hrs after the game. Bloody brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
208saint Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Was at the Milleneum Stadium a couple of years ago for an international rugby match, we asked the police if there was drink served inside and their reply was "of course it's not football" Work that out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
