What are your thoughts lads and lasses
If the regulations changed would you like to be able to have a beer in your seat or is it best behind the stands

think its fine as it is tbh. if we were allowed to drink in the stands then people would constantly be getting up to go get a beer, drinks would get knocked over or spilled when we score too.

That’s my thoughts SWL. Might given grounds limitations mean more space at half time as everyone don’t run for the 15min drink session
Only raised as given standing is potentially under review thought might be worth looking at drink regulations as well. Can drink for 8hrs at cricket no problem plus the rugby but not at football

I need to visit the loo in each half, so unless the drinks come with “an attachment”, I think it would just cause more disruption. 😂

As already mentioned, you’ll end up with people constantly getting up for another drink/piss and a collar full of beer when we score.
Leave as is.

Each to their own as I don't think having a beer while watching a game makes any difference at all re violence. Only issue is throwing empties onto the pitch / at players.
I love a booze but I doubt I'd be sitting there with a pint in my hand simply because I can. Best thing really would be not having to down a pint in 10-15 mins !!

Ok might not be ideal our ground but if we ever moved surely you future proof it so the getting up is not an issue |

Yes some people would be up and down but think most would be sensible |

I'm quite happy as it is - the 90 minutes without drinking probably does me a long-term favour ! |

Ok might not be ideal our ground but if we ever moved surely you future proof it so the getting up is not an issue It doesn’t seem to be a problem at rugby, at least not at the handful of games I’ve been to at Twickenham over the years. What I would say though is there is much less of an ‘outpouring of emotion’ when a try is scored, as opposed to when the ball hits the back of the net in football. One of the many reasons why we all prefer football I imagine. Football is generally a far more spontaneous sport in terms of action. Combine that with the ever so polite nature of most rugby fans and it’s not surprising hardly a drop is spilt when they celebrate. At the very least I’d say narrow necked bottles only should be allowed, definitely no pint glasses. |

Yes, your clothes must cost a lot more than mine  couldn't care less about a few drops of beer on them. In Germany, a guy goes round with a backpack through the stands filling beers so no need to go out to the bar, toilet another matter obviously. Was at a Saint Pauli game a few weeks back and the lads beside me were constantly having the fella come over to fill their beers as well as offering him some of what they were smoking  Sure is different |

flares,smoke bombs, rockets, should be allowed,we got no match box grounds in top tiers. Plod should be banned,drinks in stands,dj b4 games. sections for just lads whom are lads.no balloons,face painting ,gay banners, hero shirts,mascots. stewards should be seen and not heard.Vote for me on the lets bring the game back from nanny.

Add banning sanctimonious vegans and men who dress up in tights to ride a fucking bike to that list and you’ve got my vote.

When Union Berlin was called off after ten mins they kept the bbq and the stadium bars open and it was great. On the down side the bar outside had been totalled...and by their lot if I remember rightly. |

I must say, I've been to the rugby a few times and I do enjoy watching the game with a beer. But the atmosphere at rugby is significantly different, fans sit in amongst each other, no segregation, generally just having a good time. You just don't get that in football, the mentality is different.
I saw someone say about throwing empties onto the pitch, if that were an issue surely they'd ban coke and water bottles too? You can drink those at your seat.

Spent the 1st half of the 82 final in the bar , paid 5 times the value of ticket to get in ( from a player) .... Drinking would ruin it as lots of people can't handle their drink
