Isn't it about time we got parity with rugby, cricket etc and be able to take a pint up to our seats - we are surely way beyond the original purpose of ale fuelled violence in the 80s - it's out of date at best and at worst downright discriminatory........be a lot more relaxed and civilised in my view When I often watch my local non league side you can stand behind the goal with a pint as long as it’s in a plastic glass As you say very civilised |

The morons who attend games would throw it all over the place when anything remotely exciting happens. |

I have to agree, we've all seen *some* of the idiots following us at away days, they simply can't be trusted. You'd be soaked every match day, goals or no goals. I was at the Bernabeu last week for Real Vs Bilbao, they're allowed to drink over there in their seats, they can even still smoke - felt really weird sitting amongst it. Different kind of culture over here though. |

Leipzig away was memorable in pre-season when we went ahead, there was beer flying in the air from all angles! The good thing as well was that if you returned your plastic pint cup to the bar they gave you 50 cents back so we went round collecting empty cups after the game and got a free round in with them! Christ, I think that was the last time I was happy and content watching Stoke City.  |

Soccer - A game played by gentlemen and watched by ruffians Rugby - A game played by ruffians and watched by gentlemen No wonder you're not allowed to drink!  |

Did see plenty of the stuff flying tbough when it kicked off with some away fans. Namely West ham, Arsenal and Wolves. |

In the United States and Canada people go around the stands selling beer. You don't even have to leave your seat.

Make a killing in the family stand- dads drinking to dull the agony on the pitch/tone down the sound of the kids and then sell ice-cream/sweets etc at exorbitant rates on the basis that kids will badger their parents. All will work swimmingly until something interesting happens in the pitch heaven forbid, at which point merchandise sellers are likely to be ejected up/down/left or right |

Damn....thought ya meant there was an offer on for the last game of the season!!! I said this yesterday that there should be a free bar for the last match as a token apology - or at least a free pint for season ticket holders perhaps....it's the least Mr WATFA could do.... I'll go with that  !!! |

Why is it daft - it's an prejudicial anachronism. Folk can watch a band / comedian / show in any venue you like and enjoy a drink in your seat, I can watch rugby at Old Trafford or Anfield and enjoy a drink in a seat, it's not the fucking 80s and if folk start chucking it around (at £4.50 a pint??!,) then it would be subject to same censure as slinging bottles on the pitch or other misdemeanours. We need to lobby for a repeal of the 1985 laws that were in the main borne out of ignorant knee-jerk reaction by an out of touch government wanting to seem hard.... The audiences at your examples tend to behave themselves, and don't jump up and down in their seats slopping beer over everyone or throwing objects at every minor happening that upsets them. No, it's a daft idea! |

You can have beer in your seat at Australian football games. But there isn't the history of violence so it isn't contentious.

That's why they're treated differently - it's nothing to do with prejudice. |
