I completely agree FB and it's about time a campaign was started.

We (Celtic Supporters) led the way in terms of the OFBA which is hopefully on it's way out.

There's no reason why our fan groups/organisations can't start one to be able to have a pint of beer at the football.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
However one of the things that means Scotland is not "the best wee country" is it's problems with alcohol - and by that I do not mean the lack of availability at football matches.
I think politically it will be hardsell to get it changed anytime soon. I doubt the fact it could be a goldmine to clubs is a compelling argument (actually implies they would be selling loads of the stuff)
you miss the point. It's readily available already if you either pay enough for your season book, or turn up hours before the game starts to gain access to the limited space of the Kerrydale Suite. None of this has resulted in worse behaviour , so why would making it more readily available to all change that? The vast majority of people would only change their couple of pints pre match from a pub to the Stadium.
I would argue it is not 'readily' availible. Availabilty is limited ,otherwise there wouldn't be this debate. On your point about pre-match pints, ohers would argue that rather than just move their drinking habits from pub to stadium many would top up their pre match pints with pints in the stadium. Without studies ( and maybe a small scale trial run) no one can claim with certainty how drinking haviour would change.

If the fans forum was set up in the format which it was intended to be then we'd maybe make some progress with fan issues such as ticket pricing.

Instead it's a pointless, information sharing session making people feel informed and important.

A waste of time.

MacBhoy it’s honestly not.

More than enough people made the point about ticket prices and made the club aware how daft it would be for anything less than a freeze on the season tickets.

Anyone at the fans forum last night?

Talk seems to be for another rise in season book prices.
They can eff right off with that.The club are raking it in but they want to sting fans, most of whom won't have had a significant pay rise for donkeys years? Tossers.
If the prices go up i genuinely don't think I will be able to afford it. 20 years I've had it for. Will be really disappointed if greed from the board stops me attending games

I'm sure they did.

I'm also sure that that forum format is not the correct one for achieving any sort of change.

I'm sure about a decade or so ago i read the English Rugby crowd were taking in over a million in drink sales for one game.
Some amount of money lost to old fashioned laws.

Getting safe standing was a hard sell but the club was able to get it done and others in the UK may follow. I just don't see the reason why rugby fans can and football fans can't. If the beer sold was as expensive as it is in the states, you'd need to be minted to get pished on it.

As I said, for games where there could be trouble- sevco, european games or maybe even hearts...don't sell it.

I think it is a gold mine. Not saying people buy multiple beers but say even 10,000 buy a beer or 2 per game at 5 pound a beer, its a nice earner. Im sure tennents, magners etc would happily strike up a deal. I have no idea how many in the crowd currently buy pies etc and how many are over 18. Could also incentivise season tickets by making only them able to buy it, via their card (bill them later). Would help with under age drinking and to track if any trouble happens. Maybe move the turnstyles further out like murrayfield and create a fenced in outdoor area to drink and for people to gather.

I think this would make celtic money but think it would be massive for other teams in the league.

Worth a trial at least, if celtic can convince the government.

Probably cost the Scottish clubs millions in lost revenue over the decades.
Always remember coming out of Elland Rd after the game and passing the old main stand and seeing a bar with a full gantry and couple of gents downing halfs.
That was in 1970 at the European semi final.
The top price ticket at Hampden for a big match got a pie and bovril hatch smaller than some Junior grounds i've been in.
Real puritanical stuff from way on high regarding bevvy.
Like nae pubs on a Sunday.
Come to think of it, nae fitba either on a Sunday for nearly a hundred years.

I like the idea of handing over your ST and saying "stick 2 pies and a pint on that, take one for yourself too".
