The ban doesnt stop people being pissed up at the match anyway though does it, so whats the point in it?
I can get by without a beer for a couple of hours.
Go watch Surrey play a 20/20 game at night, plenty of pissed up idiots doing far more than you see in any football stadiumFor me, the fact that football supporters are subjected to restrictions not applied to supporters/spectators of any other spectatator sport is what requires changes. Its the assumption that ONLY football supporters will cause all manner of incidents if alcohol is available during a match, unlike Rugby, Cricket, Horse/ dog racing etc
Personally, the limited choice of overpriced swill, badly kept beer , lager etc at the breeze block, isnt anything Id be tempted to buy.... nonetheless the principle that football supporters are 3rd class citezens compared to supporters of other spectator sports is both outdated and quite simply wrong.
The choice to have a drink while watching a match ( which is positively encouraged at Court Place Farm- presumably as 'City are playing at non league level ?) should an adult prefer to is currently, still, WRONGLY IMO not open to supporters of EFL or Premiership football supporters watching a match live,& in person. Invariably it costs £20+ to watch a football match at (E)Football league, or above, level and to be viewed as an individual who cant be trusted with an alcoholic drink during a match taking place. That simply isnt right IMO
Principle of football supporters being treated differently to other spectator sports is important @LondonRoader ..... Im 100% with you regarding lining our tax exiled slum landlords pockets, I (out of principle) will not buy 'refreshments' from inside the breeze block, havent for many many seasons, and will continue not too for as long as the Monaco based hotelier/ slum landlord continues to shaft OUFC & owns the breeze block eitherAnyway why is this being discussed on this thread, all it means is more money in FK’s pocket.

seen a couple of 20/20s in Somerset (Taunton) .... yep I agree, can get a bit rowdy...though the spectators are fired up by yank type 'cheerleading'/ sing alongs everytime anything of note happens at 20/20 cricket matchesGo watch Surrey play a 20/20 game at night, plenty of pissed up idiots doing far more than you see in any football stadium
It will if they start throwing it over other people.I should imagine it’s only the people in the boxes who can afford to drink all game at Kassam prices anyway.
If someone wants to get drunk at a game but doesn’t break the law/ruin it for others, which there are laws banning that already, then I don’t see how others can be so stuck up about it.
It’s easy to get absolutely legless beforehand anyhow, being able to have a couple during the game won’t affect that, you don’t sober in two hours, so I can’t see this being the Armageddon some imagine.
If you really want to drink during a game now I am certain you could sneak some in with a bit of thought, it ain’t rocket science.

Have you ever been to an away game ? Unless you live within oxford city limits , every home or away game has transport costs and then the day out on top.
My concern is those who cannot drink in moderation and will see it an elongated sesh - those who often fail to appreciate their own behaviour,.f**k me they ain’t even bought a pint yet and you have them throwing it away.
On one hand you have people calling anyone who fancies a pint at a game an alkie and on the other you have people saying they are going to throw it all over people, worst alcoholics in the world.
