Exactly. I don't want to miss the second half drinking in the concourse, I want to take it in my seat. It won't happen because some fans cannot act responsibly and that is a shame.

[Albion] Drinking alcohol in seats at football grounds

I'm going to suggests you can't have one without the possibility of the other which is why I always vote no.
Really? How many people do you see luzz a cup of coffee or tea. Unfortunately, the behaviour of morons pretty much dictates this won't happen. Alternatively, anyone caught luzzing beer in the stand, if a season ticket holder, gets a 10 game ban, or a casual fan, a 5 year ban.

After seeing how our middle aged fans acted at Marseilles while boozed up, keep alcohol as far away from them as possible.
And guess what, those plebs will be buying 3 or 4 pints before the game and taking them to their seat for themselves.

not if you invoke a one drink rule going to your seat

Yes - but no sales during the match

No way. I don't want to travel home covered in beer. I don't want to get covered in beer at all. We've survived without it.

Why oh why oh why?
There are a couple of dickheads who I sat near last season in the back of N1A, right next to the West stand, who did this every game, sometimes in both halves - in at 5 minutes, pint hidden under coat, out at 35, back at 50 with another hidden pint, away at 80... Alcoholics, essentially.

I've watched football in countries that do allow it, but their fans know how to behave. The English can't handle their beer and get all silly

Apart from disturbing you to go and get one and then returning from getting one (which people do all the time to go for a piss, buy a pie, leave early/arrive late etc) does the fact they are drinking in the seats really spoil your “matchday experience” ?
Genuine question.

100% this.No it shouldn't.
People inconveniencing everyone else, by getting up every four minutes for a refill or a piss, throughout the game, are f***ing annoying. And getting showered in beer every time a goal is scored or conceded because people are immature pricks, isn't great fun either.
Enjoy your beer on the concourse. Cheers
Go to rugby at Twickenham or elsewhere and it's horrendous.

It's illegal to do it in this country so I don't think the debate will go anywhere.
Personal opinion is If you go out to have 5 pints then not sure if it really matters whether you consumed on the concourse or in your seats you have to unload at some point so don't think the disruption would be much greater. Will having a beer at your seat make you go for a 6th or 7th or will you drink more slowly, I don't know the answer. I would suggest most people won't be worried about drinking more , it might also stop the half-timer consumers coming back on 50 -55 mins as they have not had to stay behind to finish their drink.
If this is on a 'to do' list I would suggest improving the service at the bars and improving the toilets (WSU) are much higher up the priority.

Because 'other drinks' don't turn people into arseholes?

I think the club are missing a trick by not tying a small bag of spice to each flag when they are placed on seats before each game. Could do wonders for the atmosphere.

Anyone who has been along to a WSL live beamback at the Amex will know what an utter pain in the ARSE drinking in the seats is. Just a constant stream during the game of boozed-up GOONS who can't hold their drink going back and forth with wobbly plastic pint glasses, alongside just as many doing the same to then go back and forth for a piss. Got absolutely sick of it.
I'm not impartial to squeezing in a half-time beer on the concourse, being as I usually go in to check the scores anyway. But in the seats ? GET IN THE SEA.
