Away fans at Molineux are not blessed with the best seats, especially when the sun is glaring down. With today's weather conditions, I thought it best to get a bottle of water just before the game started. I asked for one, only to find out they've ran out. I asked for tap water as an alternative, and was met with a perplexed stare. She said "don't do that here", so I asked to speak to her manager. I explained that as Molineux is a licensed establishment, they must offer free water alongside the alcohol. She disagreed but offered me the chance to wait 20 minutes (game was starting) for a bottle from upstairs.
At half time, to my surprise, the kiosks were serving tap water. Stewards were even going around the stand letting people know that tap water was available. Perhaps it finally clicked that people need hydration on a hot day and ignoring to offer free water is unacceptable, especially when out of water bottles! Well done to whoever took the initiative, just a shame it wasn't earlier.
