Nope, especially with some of our fans.

If you can't go 90 mins without drinking, you might be an alcoholic!

Apparently this has been trialled in Scotland with zero incidents of alcohol related disorder...

People who can't live without a beer for two hours certainly have a serious problem.

It’s not even two hours, it’s 45 minutes as you can get one at HT.

Disgusting stuff and it continues to amaze me the sheer quantity that people pour down their throats on a regular basis.

I like beer, but being coeliac makes it expensive and difficult to find. Almost impossible if you like draught bitter and you think lager is a glorified alcoholic soft drink

I can really only get GF Speckled Hen without buying beer by the case off the internet, it's an ok gf bitter but not something I'd feel the need to drink most weeks.

Oh we have lots of fans pushing past us after the first 30 minutes & returning to their seats 15 to 20 minutes after half-time.

They are a pain in the arse.

I enjoy a beer ( waiting for an OB comment ) or a glass or two of 🍷 in the evening but not during HT & certainly don’t want it in the stands. Those wanting a HT beer are pushing their way out 5/10 mins before HT & returning the same after the 2nd half has started, never seen the point.

5 of my mates (newcastle fans) came down yesterday for a day out in Leeds, they didn't think places like the horse and trumpet still existed.

That is all I drink, other than red wine, but I do not drink often these days. The bladder isn’t what it used to be.
