Is it time for authorities to allow drinking in stands again

[loneranger]

And it leave a nasty taste in your mouth to,, to be honest I think the beer at Rangers is nothing short off rank

It still Carlsberg ? That and Becks are me least favourite lagers.

But at cricket you dont get the same crowd that goes to football. And rugby fans all mix together, home and away. Union anyway, not sure about league, there is no home and away section.

League have away sections but allow beer also.

Alcohol pitch side is too far gone - can never happen. Due to it being so long since it was allowed people's pre match rituals are set. They wouldn't cut out the pre game drinks but would just power through which would lead to more intoxication.

I do think terraces should come back (controlled, obviously) but alcohol during the game? As said, wait 90mins or if you can't get one at halftime. It really isn't worth the hassle changing the ruling.

Too many simpletons attend football matches for drinking to be viable

[HoopDoggyDogg]

You can drink all day at the cricket and their is rarely hassle. Can you not drink at rugby too??

Just playing devils advocate

Is there such a thing as Cricket Hooligans?
Can't imagine there's much hassle even after drinking all day!!
Quentin after eating his cucumber sandwiches and a skinful of Pimms allday decides to run across the oval where he unleashes hell on the oppositions big firm!!!

Yes there has been trouble a fair few times at the cricket. Mainly up north against Pakistan when afew northern firms have done their bit against them though very much outnumbered.

All day i got kicked out during the everton game for drinking their pizz weak carlesbreg in the stand, the law on not being able to drink within site of a football pitch is beyond ambigious the steward were similar to evangelist robo cops, and should probably kill them selves. the whole thing was incredibly embarrising because i came with my dad however, im anything but a trouble maker i just enjoy drinking and bought my drinks from the stands, diddn't smuggle anything in. i know qpr's a family club, but id love to live in a free society were youre not treated as a scum bag jut for going to a football game. if anypne went to the barnet game it was great; a selection of beer cider and spirits at a reasonable price because it doubles as a rugby ground. its a contradiction that qpr's supposed to be family friendly good club that youre treateated like a scum bag when you arrive

Theres nothing to stop some from consuming large amounts of Alcohol before the game, and there's time when alcohol is available in the ground as well so you can't stop anyone from getting tanked up before or during the game.
But, there's no way drinking will be allowed during matches at all.

[HoopDoggyDogg]

The Stewards at LR have probably been the cause of more problems than Alcohol has with regards to incidents.
F*cking hate them personally!!

But they can refuse you entry in the ground if your to tanked up.. Do you enjoy keep going to the bog during the game

[West Acton]

Not suggesting consumption of large volumes of booze but currently if your a fan who has not had a drink all day get to ground late and just fancy a bottle while watching the game your prevented from doing so due to the behaviour of fans what 20years ago???

Every other sporting event allows drinking while watching you can even drink at the cinema now

I personally would not drink during game as have a drink before and after but thought it's an interesting discussion

[Kevin Mcleod]

I dont want it , im glad of the hour and a half break to be honest. Oh and i love weak pish lager like fosters, carlsberg and heineken. I drink so much of it when i go, really dont need the strong gear,

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

NO! We'll have the usual ###### of beer everywhere when we score. 90 minutes to abstain from the devils brew won't kill you

Agreed and I like a shant

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

So whats the difference between drinking a bottle of coke in the stand or a bottle of beer???

Coca Cola doesn't generally turn normal minded people into ar5eholes from my experience.
