I get that it goes hand in hand. But its not like you can take it to your seat. You can however, take a bag of popcorn to your seat at watch the movie at the same time. I just don't get why that makes the day out shitter that for 2 hours you can't drink booze.


Just does, perhaps I'm too simple. Doesn't ruin the day, but it's a negative.


Go watch rugby, you can drink as much as you want in your seat.

Go watch football in Germany and you can drink beer in your seat/safe standing area.

Did you stop to think that maybe they didn't stock beer on the final day of the season? As I have said before if you can't go 2 hours without a beer that is a little sad.

As for the restricted view. It is a big old stand and we take bugger all in away support. I am sure you can find a seat that isn't directly behind a pillar.


I enjoy a beer at football, it goes hand in hand really, think that's the same for a lot of people who go.


So you are paying £20 tomorrow for the privilege of having a warm beer out of a plastic bottle? That is so sad. he was me thinking you go for the football :roll:


If that makes me sad then I’m sad. I won’t lose sleep over that opinion. I go to the cinema and sometimes have popcorn. Do I need it every time? No. Do I like it? Yes. Does it go hand in hand? Yes.


But the main reason you go to the cinema is to watch a movie. Not to eat popcorn. The main reason you go to a football ground is to watch football, not to drink beer.

No. It doesn’t make it “shitter” just makes the experience inside the stadium a bit worse when you can’t get a beer. In the same way met at Forest Green might make it a bit nicer an experience. Won’t stop you from going but it’s a general low point

This might be a good point to ask my question.....I don't go to football for a pie but I do quite like the "pie and a pint" at the football tradition, minus the pint as I mostly go with family and don't tend to have a pint. So a pie. What's the food like at Walsall? I went last year but can't remember much about it (clearly not due to pint consumption) - I always admire those who can recall a ground or a match from 2 seasons ago, I can't even remember the Walsall ground and pie quality. Is the food typical there, terrible etc? I think Stadium MK is quality when it comes to concessions and the piglets pantry pies are definitely up there if not the best of any ground I've sampled at - my brother in law is a Liverpool fan and noted the quality. My god this has turned into Pie review post.

If they don't have your favorite flavor then please feel free to call it a worse day out because of it.

Not up to MK standard, but clearly has positives, plus if you go up by coach you get a free breakfast.

It amazes me that supposedly intelligent adults can't grasp the very simple concept that different people can do the same thing for different reasons.

Some people go to an away match to watch and support the team. Some people go for a booze-up with their mates. Some people go for a bit of both. All of them are perfectly fine. None of them make anybody 'sad' or whatever.
