Beer At The Ground


Recommended Posts

There's beer in my section and it's part of the deal, the joys of Level 4 seats :beer2:

Is it not a UEFA rule that you can't sell alcohol at internationals?

For example, in Germany, Belgium and (I think) Holland you can buy beer at league games but not at international matches.

Hmm. Shows what I know then!!

You sure about that one?

I'm 99% sure it was available at every game.

The only game I remember getting a pint was the Wales friendly in 2009. A novelty.

Also some 2% lager at the game in Stockholm in 2010.

Both friendlys. No chance for a qualifier.

That said, I was pashed at the NI Carling cup game, and mega hungover at the Ireland game in May so don't remember even looking for a drink at the ground.

Meant every game of the Carling Cup.

Pretty sure they were selling Carling...

The only qualifier I've seen alcoholic beer at was in Bari.

In the San Siro in 2005 the vendors were selling miniatures on the sly!

A lot of the time it is non alcoholic but they print it in tiny writing and put it out of the way so people don't know. Being placebo drunk actually gives much better hangovers.

It's also normally written in foreign.

Fair point.

If you really want a last minute beer/hit before going into the stadium there's a spar shop on the road leading up to the Scotland end which doesn't have any qualms with selling cans to supporters.

And on the same road there are a load of middle class houses with nice well kept gardens for you to pee in.
