Oh f*** off.
How about going 90 minutes without a beer. It’s possible if you try really hard.

But why have to try? If it increases the clubs revenue and there's a demand then what's the problem. Rugby has been doing it for years.

In fact rugby seems to encourage women along, mainly to carry more pints for their men!
Seriously though, I don't think football behaves itself well enough to allow pitch side drinking.

Pissed up fans are less likely to social distance.

No drinks at GAA games either. And behaviour isn’t an issue with fans freely mixing. I normally only go to the pub after the game, so I go about 6 hours without a beer after the pubs open. 11 for a midweek game. However if Orient did introduce beers while watchIng the game I am sure I would have a couple and Orient would get an extra £20 off us.

Fair point but I was talking more generally i.e. when Covid is done & dusted

Can't even get a response from the club about my missing codes for the streaming pass so arranging 1,000 tickets in 3 days would be interesting

No joy here - for 3 individual season tickets.
Not going to get wound up for a tenner though - especially if I’m one of the Spurs 1000

So irritating seeing people having to go for numerous visits to bog (booze not medical reasons).
Rugby fans different breed. Know how to behave.

Pay on the gate?

Did note this on the website. So pretty much no way this can happen by Saturday. So if there was to be a test event, it probably would be pay on the gate.
