Certainly wont be bothering while its still so cold but once we start getting some late evening sun it will be nice to sit and have a beer whilst watching the game.

Best take your own then mate coz what they serve there cannot be classed as beer.

Once you've had a few you cant tell the difference anymore

just one thing tho, it says the bars open an hour and half before k.o, who's gonna b there at half 6 or am i missing something?

wow. now we can spend 80 minutes standing up to let some head passed

some people like to get there about an hour or so before kick off if they dont have reserved seats

Good to have the option of a pint whilst watching the game but hopefully people don't abuse the new rule by getting up and down to go to the bar. I think it makes sense to have the cut off point in the second half.

I think the stewards in chav corner will be busy.

ahh thats y i pay the extra 15 quid a season then!

It'll mean bigger queues on the concourse......and more people wanting to wee during the game (up, down, up, down, up, down

)......Other than that.....It should have never been an issue. RL fans can take their beer!!!!

I think I'll ask for a Mulled wine or an Irish coffee on Friday to warm the cockles.

Cool. Maybe up to 16,000 people... thats some "round"... but hey if he offered - mines a pint of warm lager please.

good news for those who brave the KC beer but as i drive there and back i'll give it a miss.

besides as monty python once said, the beer is a bit like making love in a canoe

Personally, I am able to survive for an hour and a half without a flat, watery pint of beer. Don't know why it's even been brought up with the SMC.

Wish I could !!

I have a notoriously weak bladder. I'd miss about two thirds of the game if I resorted to drinking in my seat. Which is kinda my worry about others being allowed to do it. If they're not pushing past to get another ale, they'll be pushing past to go for a wee.

I have had the same aisle seat for a few years now for this reason !
Sick of hearing "What another one ?"

Unfortunately, not everyone who is up and down all game is able to obtain an aisle seat. There were three old boys sat inside of me at the Rovers game who kept taking it in turns to get up and deposit a thimble full of urine in the toilet before returning and passing the baton to the next in line. I hope they don't have season tickets.

For your sake, I hope not !!

in the pot and pass it onto the person next to you

Then someone scores a try, the holder of the pot gets over excited and it's golden shower time.

whats the betting that the 'a few idiots ruin it for the rest of us' syndrome applies here

This thread is proof, if ever needed, that you can't please all of the people all of the time...

Now that you can drink at your seat, if they want to cut down on offensive language, they really will need to do something about the bitter.

I find it pathetic that it was even discussed with the SMC, what next, an appeal for 2000 lapel mic's so "the choir" can be heard?

Maybe a 'mind your knuckles' sign above entrances to the NE corner.
