[bomber130]

Apologies if this fixtures. Just seen in sky news that beer has now been banned from all stadiums at the World Cup except for hospitality.

very interesting to see how this will play with Budweiser, FIFA's big sponsor. surely a violation of contract?

 

[Triggaaar]

Nice that the announcement is made after people have bought their match and airline tickets.

Not really, still able to sell bud zero and alcohol at fan zones and hotels. Also, it's not FIFA banning alcohol, its the state

Surely good news for those being spared Bud Shite

 

[Questions]

What a World Cup this is going to be….. Will there still be scantily clad young women in the crowds for the TV cameras to hone it on……..or will it be the letterbox look only ?

They will also be able to sell it in corporate hospitality areas of the stadiums too. One rule for the knobs, another for the plebs...

This was always going to be the fun-free World Cup though. What were people expecting, beer snakes, chair luzzing and Katie Price with her growler out?

There will have been guarantees for selling in the stadiums. FIFA will have to pay a lot of compensation in my opinion.

I can take it….

Good. Wish it was banned at the Amex as well. Might not have so many fools causing trouble for others.

Be surprised if women are allowed to watch live sport over there.

Budweiser have paid $60m in sponsorship so that's a starting figure I would suggest.

it was more the advertising I was thinking about. is this covered under the ban?

Corporate will be full of rich Qataris being hypocrites too no doubt

 

[Springal]

Alcohol was never going to be sold in the stadium, out of respect to the locals.

It is just at concessions outside of the stadium where it was going to be sold, and is no longer.

Don’t be absurd, there was bellendery on a massive scale over the years at The Goldstone and not a drop was sold there
