Challenges the biennial World Cup as the worst idea to have been suggested in years. People constantly back and forth to the bar, to the toilet, more drunk people, more aggro, surely we can wait 45 mins for a pint for f***s sakesQuote:

I never used to drink when I was going anyway as I was with my daughter, well very rarely, but if I did it was before and after I never used to bother in the ground the pints are like piss anyway.Quote:

Doesn’t work in football unless they keep the bars shut during play
Can’t be bothered standing up and down every 2 minutes while the game is on
It’s ok in American sports because of the natural stops
Wont work it's a disaster at the principality for the rugby with people up and down all game.
It will increase the sales of ponchos to save everyone get p££s poor lager thrown over everyone on the odd occasion we scoreQuote:

Yeah that's true, but I can just imagine if the bar was open it would be even worse, up and down all the time.Quote:

Also when (haha) we score you will have those tw.at heads who think its cool to throw beer in the air.
No thank you
Bloody hell.
At 50 my bladder dictates when I get up and when I sit down. I even have to stop while I'm running to take take a piss these days. Also, I get up 3 or 4 times in a night to take a leak.
I'd be unbearable for the people on my row and behind me should I be allowed to consume large amounts of beer during the game.
I'm already living in a constant episode of Curb your enthusiasm, any added opportunity to get into conflict with people will be unwelcome
I hope not, but it wouldn't surprise me if in a few years time we had staff wandering around the stands selling crappy lager to fans in their seats, from those massive back packs.
No thanks.
No thank you, may be interested if they hadn't drinking sections so people had a choice
Sounds like a money grab to me, plus it could increase instances of drink driving, plus all the reasons outlined above.
following us was your first mistakeQuote:

Worth a try to see if it is really as annoying as people are predicting.
Some of the hospitality areas they should introduce it for sure
I wouldn't mind having a beer throughout the game, but i can control myself also (most of the time).
why not allow folk to take a bevvie out whilst watching the game, but then close the bars after each kick off for 45 minutes to discourage up and down nonsense whilst the game is on?
Amended for you.Quote:

I don't get why people do that lolQuote:

I went to a autumn international a few years back…it was horrid, would never go there again it’s like being in the bar with 85000. I would probably not go to the CCS if they introduced this.Quote:

More money for the clubs. The bigger the club, the more money they'll make. So it's going to happen.
