Cove_Sheep Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Darryl Broadfoot when given twenty seconds to sum up his case on Radio Scotland the other night, started with this: It's all about context when this piece of legislation was put in in 1980, Section 80 was also introduced which decriminalised homosexuality.

ZoltanBuchan Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Hmm. I don't think one was intended to replace the other at football grounds. Still...something else to do at half-time maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred_Zeppelin Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 The legislation banned taking carry oots in, it didn't ban selling alcohol at football grounds, something the media seem to be missing. No-one is suggesting we lift that ban, we're just suggesting that maybe joe bloggs could get a pint like Farquar in the posh seats can. I don't actually think it would need a change in legislation to allow that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrystarfish Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 It's not that strange - he's using it as an example of how old the piece of legislation is. He's saying it's THAT old that it was introduced as the same time as decriminilising homosexuality, which is most people's minds was done ages and ages ago.

neilly71 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Even were it allowed I wouldnt be interested. I can get a pint before and after the gemme in a bar in CP if i want. Practically speaking, the thought of having to queue for a warmish plastic pint of lager doesnt appeal not to mention the impractability of what to do with the feckin thing once ive sat on my seat. Ill stick to a Ribena bottle filled wi tonic thanks. Edited February 20, 2015 by neilly71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could fall flat on its face if it was introduced (and after the initial curiousity had passed) and most folk ignored it. There was bevvy on sale (real beer - not the Uefa/FIFA 0% coloured water) and the vast, I say "vast" majority of Scots around me in the stadium in Jacksonville ignored it.

Toepoke Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Back when it was still well in the future Viz did a feature on "Sex in the year 2000". Among several developments they suggested that crowds of people at the football would have sex celebrating a goal being scored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At American Sports the beer choice is phenomenal. I've no idea how anyone can drink US 'Bud' or any 'Lite' beer when the US has so many better ones out there?

AberdeenAngus Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 In the Parc des Princes in 2007 our fans were going for the lager in their droves. I had a coke as there was a sign saying it was alcohol free - don't think many took that in though. I still think the argument from the likes of the Polis Wifie from 1980 is totally bonkers. Does she honestly think that if no alcohol was sold inside grounds then the whole crowd would be sober? Those who would buy inside the ground are the same folk who currently drink elsewhere - unchecked - before entering the stadium at present. It really is a no brainer to bring this in subject to the same sort of rules as they have in England like no drinking in view of the pitch and sold in plastic cups.

Wine bibber Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Well, that's a good point well made. The 5000 plus American micros and many regionals are producing some of the best beer in the world right now chaps.Few will be bottle conditioned though.. Try anything by Firestone Walker ,Alesmith or Pretty things and you wont be disappointed. Old favorites such as Anchor ,Pyramid and Brooklyn still hold up well and are pretty easy to find on the internet for delivery.Try beers of Europe from Kings Lynn.It stocks several hundred American beers . Its a pity that most people associate American beers with cheap bland chemical lagers.But that's global mass marketing for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
