They also should do something abot alcohol being banned from coaches on route to football matches!
 
 

It's a totally archaic law : Mad you can sit in your seat in a stadium on a Saturday and be banned from drinking beer yet sit in the exact same seat the following day and have a beer. 
 
 
Exactly, and the coach ban in the UK for football fans is bizarre as you are allowed to drink on trains going to football matches!
 
I remember years ago we flew into Dublin on route to seeing Sunderland play a friendly in Limerick.
 
The driver of the coach was happy to let us take booze on board and halfway to Limerick he suggested we stopped off at a pub for an hour and half and then came into the pub and said we could drink there for two hours!
 
When we arrived in Limerick we got dropped at the ground I asked yer man if he knew where a pub was where we were meeting our mates and he said sorry I don't know Limerick very well as I'm from Dublin myself.
 
Next think I knew a Garda arrived and we got an escort from him to the pub.
 
Now that's what I call service.

Brighton issued their fans with vouchers to exchange for soft or alcoholic drinks at the FA cup tie last night at the Hawthorns as a gesture for them making such a long trip on a midweek evening.
 
Originally they were also going to provide free pies but there wasn't enough of them!

The building of new stadia over the coming years, such as Tottenham’s new ground, which will feature a ‘cheese room’, and the development of Stamford Bridge, will see the clubs specifically think about the different food types they’ll be able to offer. For everyone else, a

Good idea.

Aston Villa have installed a self-pour bar enabling fans to pour their own pints, pay with card and save queuing up. 🍻👏

I had a Hot Dog at the London Stadium at a WHU match recently. The sausage wasadvertised as being  from a local artisinal producer (I can actually believe it) and must have been nearly a foot long. It had excellent meat, was nicely cooked and v.tasty, and served in a fresh bread roll with caramelised onions.

It was also £9. That's nine quid, or 10 of your European yo-yo's. Shocked

Considering the venue, I feel I should have got a 50% taxpayer's discount. At least.
