Behave Bob, that's not the best of ideas, the service at the kiosks are slow enough, we don't need fans supping beer and holding the queues up even more.

What everyone is saying about the pre-pouring being an issue, this is solved by you handing back in your used cup when you buy a new pint and they give you a pre-poured one with a new cup, that's what they do at festivals and it works well.
You could always bend down and lick it up if your worried about wastage? I don't think I have ever had spillage like you say so don't think there is really a problem. However, joking apart, we know that there are going to reductions in single use plastic so a deposit scheme might be an option. There could be a separate kiosk (The concourses are big enough!) where you got your drinks receptacle then took it to the normal kiosks so it wouldn't necessarily have to slow up serving or the queues that much?
It’s generally the norm at football, gigs/festivals and a lot of outside bars/Biergartens as well. It’s very common and I don’t even think about it now.

Works for my pint, but my mate doesn't like me sipping his.
Is this a problem that actually needs fixing? I don’t think so..

I had a look at plastic compostable cups, what I discovered is they need specialist composting at high temperature with the right amount of other materials, they are a bit of a con really. In practice very few ever find their way to such a facility, and if they do they are generally transported many miles. If they go to landfill they last about as long as other plastics, same if they end up in the sea.

OK forget my inability to wrestle a flimsy cup, it would be better not to discard so much plastic after just a single use of it's intended purpose. For me to use that cup for 20 minutes creates a piece of plastic that will take hundreds of years to decompose, is this a problem that needs solving? Maybe not for you yet, but because of this wastefulness there are plans within Parliament to introduce a levy akin to the one for carrier bags, suggested fee of 25p, so it could be worth £2 a gallon of beer to you if you had a reusable cup rather than a single use one, or buy 16 pints, get one free, sort of.

The most curious thing..
Spend two hours sober and not drinking?
Does anyone know what happens to all the match-day rubbish? Is it thrown away or recycled?

Two hours sober watching the Albion what a ridiculous idea

Why oh why oh why?
The bins outside have separate sections for recycling.

How about a contactless only machine attached to the wall in the concourse. It's connected to a barrel in a chiller and will only dispense once payment has been made by contactless cards. You can buy as many as you want, no cashier slowing it up and no warm beer sat around for 45 mins. Alternatively this could be a token operated machine and tokens can be purchased upon arrival and used whenever or even saved until the following match...sorry I went too far

What do you do with your bovril cup? To be fair the concourse bins are not clear but say something like rubbish and dry recycled. There has been many threads on this but I can't remember the outcome. Essentially, you should put your wet bovril cup in the dry recycle bin...
