I'm well up for getting pissed up for Yeovil - it will be my 1st away game this season
Cant we just break the rules re: mini-busses and get pissed up anyways? bribe the driver / hire company into turning a blind eye?
"whats that officer, pissed up swindon fans in the back? I thought it was the asian elders bus to the the yeovil mosque!"
If all else fails I'll just get Walt Flanagans dog to drive whist i get wankered. usually dfoes the trick for me
Right, this is my area of expertise. On a football minibus it is only illegal to drink in it. But it is legal to carry alcohol on the bus and have an open cannister. Therefore the practicalities are that provided you dont finnish off your tinnies whilst dibble is watching then you are A-OK!

Plus of course they need to prove you were drinking it, so you need to be videoed for it to stand in court. Basically Its a weak piece of legislation. I remmember one time the police opened up the back door and about 50 empty tinnies fell out. They just pissed themselves laughing and told us to pick em all up.
The difference is for coaches (24 seats and up) and football special trains. On which it is illegal to carry ANY ALCOHOL AT ALL onto the vehicle.

Minibuses are the future. We love em, never had a bad day out on a football minibus.
