Obviously there is a rule in place that prohibits drinking in stadiums hosting UEFA games but how far does it extend?

Reason being , we have a problem getting people into Lansdowne on time because most are squeezing in the last pint . Could the bars in Lansdowne possibly open until say 7:30 for a 7:45 kick off for does the rule fully prohibit drinking ?

If we could open the bars till 15 mins before kick off everyone would get in early. The place would be rammed with sings being belted out from the off . .

Just an idea ...
l hear you are a racist now, father ?

Sounds like a good idea but I'd imagine if possible to sell say up to 7.30 they would already do it.
Would possibly also end up like last orders on a Saturday night with people loading up on pints.

Could be a big problem this weekend with latecomers as the regulars who normally turn up 5 mins before kickoff will be delayed getting in due to the bigger crowd.
FAIlure

Good shot, lovely ............ oh good jaysus

Sounds like a smart idea alright.

The rule only applies to competitive games. When it was proposed to the FAI a while ago they looked at it and decided to open the bars(sometimes) for freindlies. 

So Yeh defo worth looking at.

It's always a problem !

The only way you can get everyone into the stadium on time is tell them there's gargle there !!

damn looks pretty tight on it... from the 2006 edition 


Article 36 – Distribution of alcohol The match organiser must ensure that: a) no public sale or distribution of alcohol is permitted within the stadium or its private environs; b) all alcohol-free drinks which are sold or distributed are dispensed in paper or open plastic containers which cannot be used in a dangerous manner.

Nah it doesnt, it only refers to the match organiser.

the scope of the document is:
The aim of these regulations is to make the match organiser and participating associations or clubs aware of their duties and responsibilities before, during and after a match in order to safeguard the safety and security of everyone present, as well as of the stadium and its installations.

Still worth enquiring about though....

I still cant see how they can sell it on the premium levels with the above regulation in place. So yeh that must be a loophole. So its worth enquiring about
