Drinking at football is standard around most grounds.
I always thought the reason that STFC had a conservative approach to drinking at football, was because of the influence of the Arkell family...they wanted punters drinking before and after in their establishments and not during, conditions laid down in return for chucking a few bob our way in the early years. |

I've just read an article saying that the ban from having alcohol in your seats was passed in 1985. They said that the stupid thing is you can watch London Irish at the Madejski with a beer in your seat but not at a Reading game. The chairman at Ipswich is trying to get this revoked.

This goes back to the (mistaken) belief that (all) egg-chasing fans are better behaved than (all) football fans and can therefore be trusted to take alcohol to their seats.
But then again, you can take alcohol to your seat at a cricket match and they can last for up to 8 hours. It can sometimes get a bit lairy as the day goes on and the drink takes affect.
It's allowed at football matches on the Continent, isn't it?

At PSV Eindhoven and Cologne I was able to have beer at my seat.
Although when I was at PSV v Feyenoord it was only non-alcoholic beer.

Non-alcoholic beer is like licking your sister’s pussy. It tastes the same but it’s not right. |

In Germany they serve it to you on the terraces - via ladies walking round with glasses in hand |

Was out there a few weeks ago, they walk around with Jetpack like bags on their backs and just top your glasses up. It's ideal at E2.40 a go! |

Must admit that I never saw the need to drink alcohol at a football match. I found a much more pressing need for something hot to keep out the chill! On the few occasion when I'd had a beer before the game, I found that I spent more time in the loo rather than watching the game!

Few seasons back, I felt the need for more drinks during the match to stop me sobering up. We played some awful matches then |
