[Football] Beer banned from all World Cup stadia

[Jeremiah]

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

You don't think alcohol has any effect on people at football ?

I expect Bud have already got their lawyers busy onto this. I wonder how may fans will get caught out wearing shorts.

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

I believe they are banned from attending normally, but the kind Qatari's are making an exception for us foreigners.

Don't be too hard on him..

He's always pissed at the football

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

Publicity they have got from this is absolutely huge. The value of beers they'd actually sell in the ground is tiny compared with that. Their adverts will still be plastered everywhere. They'll be delighted.

Maybe but it shouldn't stop them from trying to get compensation from FIFA.

Lads, I’m starting to think this choice of World Cup host might be problematic

They didn't sell alcohol to the hoi polloi in the stadiums at Euro 2016 in France.

There are plenty of sticks to beat this world cup with, this isn't one of them.

Indeed, but I was pissed at The Goldstone, Gillingham and Withdean and they never sold it

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

I mean, it's very much a tiny minority who cause trouble for others at the Amex!? Why spoil it for the vast majority who do like a beer at the football?

Correct UEFA never do. But FIFA have certainly done so in South Africa(outside) & Russia(inside & outside). This one was meant to be outside stadiums but never in

Of course it does but if they didn’t sell it at The Amex the punters would simply buy it elsewhere (hence my original post)

Christ. Imagine watching us sober during the 90s, Mickey Adams II and the Sami Hyypia games

I'd be off my tits on LSD with the stadiums somewhere between a rock and a hard place.

 

[beorhthelm]

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.

not how its being reported, this would make more sense. cant understand why it would be changed so late, as if the Qataris have just found out or changed their mind.

then again it was supposed to be played in the summer, yet here we are.

And cost of tickets would go up to make up for the shortfall in income.

It helps numb the pain for me

I wish, Harry. I wish.

Never any excuse for using 'rock' when 'cock' is available.
