Some of us prioritize football over booze and food though. I think there should be separate blocks for people with different intents. For instance an early leavers block, a leave before half time block for annoying against the flow returners, and a block for those that want to boo the team.
Almost like watching football was better when there were terraces for those that wanted to move around and seats for those that didnā€™t.

Personally I have a rant at anyone who leaves their seat early or arrives back late. If you don't want to watch the entire match then stay at home.

I get if youā€™ve queued for food for 15 minutes youā€™d continue and might miss the first couple of minutes and take your food back to your seat, but what I donā€™t understand is people still queuing for a pint when the 2nd half is about to kick off, whatā€™s the point? Are you that desperate for a beer. Iā€™ve seen people returning later than 50 mins, I really find that strange.

That's not what he said. Read it again.
I think tstanbur was referring to a different post and he's actually right. People can't get
served if they leave on the half-time whistle and that's why they arrive late back to their seats.

I just had an idea called Surpies Surpies (Surprise Surprise, see) in which 50 attendees each week will win a pie. Now, the only thing unbeknownst to them will be where the pie will appear from. At least 3 will receive/be struck by a treat from the pie cannon and risk losing a facial feature. 1 might be found at the bottom of a pint. Another floating in a toilet cubicle. 5 or so could be lowered in a mini pie parachute (yes, yes, a pierachute), but 1 of them has a still furry bloody rabbit paw in. We'd all want a pie, but I think we'd also like the feeling of perpetual risk whilst at the Amex with pie and injury the joint outcome.
I haven't watched Squid Game, and my apologies if this is basically the same.

Equally, people queuing up to get into Dicks at 2.30 (for a 3pm KO).

What gives ?

Have you ever considered that many arriving back ā€œlateā€ after HT have been stuck in a massive queue for most of HT (because they didnā€™t leave ā€œearlyā€) -and thatā€™s the reason theyā€™re arriving back late?

Thought not.
I always go down at 40 minutes to get the beers in.

But not so many beers I have to go down and back at 88 minutes.

In fact I rather graciously nip to the khazi at 85 minutes, then leave, waiting at the bottom of the exit stairs for my son.

That's because I'm considerate.

Anyone trying to get back in after 85 minutes should be thrown into a vat of acid, in my view.
It has been an evening of dark posts from me.
f*** it.
Sue me.

Not forgetting the poor tourists who have headed for the wrong platform and have to about turn and face the herds of wildebeest charging towards the Bridge Car park, some in chains of 4 holding hands!

Ps - not at HTšŸ¤£

There is a simple solution. A urinal in front of every seat. Maybe a shitter every third seat as well.
