Poll added!

A no from me ,but wouldn't object if allowed . Beer in a plastic container is just wrong ,plus the 5 or 6 i have pre match does me nicely .

If the lounges no longer need to close the blinds during a match, could they allow a row or two of seats along the window to watch the match from the warmth and comfort of the lounge?

Would be nice for older people who are put off from going because of the cold.

Could increase the ground capacity by a few hundred and, as premium seats, make the club a few quid.

For a 3pm kick-off, assuming the bars close at 2.55pm, open from 3.45-3.55pm, then close - I'm OK with that. In other words, don't have them operating while the match is on.

IF PEOPLE REALLY NEED A BEER, THAT IS...

No from me, will be plenty of spillage when goals go in and people moving in and out all the time.

Cider man, eh?

 

[Sussexscots]

It's a no from me personally because the match breaks up the pre and post match bevvy. Although I sometimes have a drink at half time, it's also a case of strategically timing toilet visits.

Having said all that, if it were permitted, I'd probably do it. The Amex is sufficiently spacious to accommodate it.

I don't enjoy Twickenham (or Murrayfield for that matter) for internationals because the seating is so cramped and the leg room nine existent for me. And you're constantly up and down for people going to the loo mostly

 

[Worthing exile]

No from me. Unless bar is closed during play and they are only allowed to bring one glass to their seat to drink/finish.

It will invariably result in more fluid being kicked over the stuff the bloke in front has stashed under his seat though.

Oh don't say this - you'll have Palace fans on the BBS laughing at us because our stadium is so much better than theirs... err... #infrastructureFC #concourse #ringfenced

I think football stands should be divided into ones for lairy beer swilling ruffians, who can drink, stand, indulge in questionable chants and lob beer at each other when we score, ones for families and ones for adults who want to swear and moan but are too old and miserable to deal with drunk people having fun.

It's possible to clearly delineate every poster on this thread so far

I don't think we will be back in grounds until a vaccine is found so a somewhat academic point but I wouldn't object to people bringing their pints to their seats before the match and after half time with the bars being shut when the game is getting played to stop constantly having to stand up to let people past (and me getting absolutely trollied during poor performances).

 

[Uh_huh_him]

It would be handy for when you've picked the slow moving queue and get your pint just in time for kick off.

brilliant .

It’s a no from me. People will be up and down like yo-yos.

If they want to maintain social distancing it wouldn’t surprise me if no alcohol was on sale.

Seen it at the NFL at Wembley, groups of lads up and down every 5 minutes for beer and pisses, then just making total cocks of themselves

There were reports back in June that some clubs were working to overturn the ban on drinking in your seats. I think this is something some clubs want, and are now using the cover of Covid as an argument for it.

Same at the Cricket.

 

[Yes Chef]

Works fine in the bundesliga and big cricket games so I am a YES

I'm old and lairy which stand do I go in?

 

[dstanman]

Not for me. It was bad enough at the beam backs
