mainstand Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I think some folk are making assumptions about how things would work, At the rugby fans are allowed to take drink to their seats. I have noticed that in some grounds down south it is restricted to under the stand. Really don't see how you would stop it being drunk in the stand. pour it into a coke cup and off you go. Some folk are bad enough at games without a drink, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepless Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Off topic but I didn't want to start a new thread just for this. What date is the Scottish cup final this year? I've a horrible feeling I've just booked a flight to Barcelona that weekend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some folk are bad enough at games without a drink, So buy a beer, buy a coke, drink the coke, wash out the cup, pour beer in cup, drink remaining beer in pint glass. Lot of effort to get half a pint out in the stand. Just wouldn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I bought a half season ticket. First game with my season and my seat was stickered reserved. I noticed that. That would have cost a penny or two. St Mikey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Mikey Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Summer football ? nah I was in Lucerne and it was so hot you couldn't sit on the seats I never noticed seats in our "hell" section. I mean maybe that's why Aberdeen kept us back so much. Must've thought see those nice Swiss fellars needed to put changes and fencing up to keep the rabid fermer supporters in. L o l. I'd like to see the club get warm air jets in the stand for the winter. I lost two toes to frostbite against Hamilton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aitchy Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 People can drink at the rugby, cricket and concerts and there is very little trouble, yet people think that there is suddenly going to be a mass outbreak of violence if football supporters are suddenly allowed a pint at the game? Nonsense. The way it works in England is that people can purchase alcohol (usually low alcohol lager, cider or wine - no spirits) up to 15 minutes before the game starts, then again at half time. As HSF said, people are not allowed to take the drink to their seats. It would provide a significant income boosts to club as not only would they make income from the sales, the league would also likely attract a sponsor from the alcohol industry (so that they their produce would only be sold), which again the clubs would benefit from.

Aitchy Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Muirton Suite is open to anyone, including away fans and is excellent for pre match pint. The Eses game was fairly unique circumstance, it's normally pretty easy to get a drink now and it's certainly improved from previous years. Stovies are top class too. Not been in much this season, but apart from games against the likes of Ross County and ICT, last season was a nightmare to get served. In fact there were occassions whereby I had to queue outside for 15/20 minutes to even get in! It has improved greatly from a few years ago, but the lay out is terrible inside and the draught beer was always flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aitchy, i think history has proved that football fans are very different from fans of other sports. Its bad enough trying to get a pie and bovril at half time never mind trying to get a non alcohol drink. Why would anyone want a non alcohol drink anyway.

AthensSaint Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Going to the footie when we were young lads was the highlight of the week. But then we were a bit more like the "young team" who now appear as "the devils children". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AthensSaint Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I have to laugh at the comemnts about "no hot water". There was never any hot water behind the terracing at Muirton either. At least fresh air, unlike the bogs on that side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has improved greatly from a few years ago, but the lay out is terrible inside and the draught beer was always flat. I'm only in fairly sporadically so have maybe just been lucky depending on the opposition. It was fine for the Luzern game though when busy, they had a bottle bar on the go which was good idea. Not perfect but think it's good that we have it. You are right about the flat beer though...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aitchy Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Aitchy, i think history has proved that football fans are very different from fans of other sports. Yes, history, History was the 1970's/80's, once football hooliganism was rife and stadiums were not all seated Football has changed massively since then.

That point is not relevant to this discussion. I am talking about football clubs selling alcohol within the confines of their own stadium. Football clubs cant control what supporters do outwith the confines of the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aitchy Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 And in regards to the incident with the Aberdeen fans in the Ambasasador bar (Formerly Centenary), that was the fault of the landlord. Bar staff were selling people crates of lager and there was no door staff present. If football clubs were to sell alcohol, it would be very strictly controlled.

And they get to drink through their eye balls throughout entire matches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
