Booze at Bognor

[Laz]

Yet again I've found a club that let's you drink from plastic glasses while watching the game. I spoke to the guy behind the bar and he was happy for me to take my Breezer out with me. I told him that this was not possible at City possibly due to some FA Rule (it's never been made clear why).

 

He said: "that's b******s!" Their manager (I think) is some kind of official or committee member at the FA and not heard anything of it.

 

Strange that. Can anyone explain the reasoning behind the alcohol ban at the Park?

Yes, it is total [****!!****].

 

I've been saying this for a while, but a few know-it-all's on here think they know better.

 

There is NO FA ruling about drinking alcohol inside football grounds at this level.

[Laz]

That's what they said at Bognor, and I'm more inclined to take their view as they seem to know what's what.

Our poxy rules have never stopped me smuggling booze into Clarence Park anyway. Can't remember the last time I went to a game without a supply.

We take plastic out at our ground, when we go away some clubs do the same and some say what you have put above.

 

There should be a set rule, at this level.

Our ground seemed to change partway through a season which suggests it was just a random decision designed to annoy the paying customers rather than add any value.

 

At Sutton, the no drinks rule applied but the stewards were happy to ignore cans and plastic bottles until one of our "supporters" complained.

It happened the week after the 'cider can' incident at Hendon.

 

I cannot see why it's been banned, as the can-throwing incident has no relevance whatsoever to punters drinking out of plastic containers on the terraces.

Isn't it something to do with Council/ local police rules/ advise?

[Big J R]

I trust I'm not classed as one of the [color:"blue"] "know-it-all's", [color:"red"] BUT.... [color:"black"]

 

I think it's all to do with each County's F.A. rules.

 

I know Surrey F.A. officials had a big purge a couple of seasons ago, visiting grounds and issuing warnings with threats of fines !

 

Check your County F.A. Rule Book.

No problem at Stortford.

Watcha' expect in Essex ????????????

By the looks of the crowds shots of Lewes v Hornchurch that's another ground you can take beer on the terraces.

 

At a rock/pop concert you can take beer into the seating or standing area during the gig in plastic glasses so why can't you do this at a footie match?

If only the folks of Bognor were more chilled out about urinating behind flats!
