Also you can't drink a beer and watch a match in England. You're not allowed to have alcohol in sight of the pitch.

What the gently caress really? Do you just get loaded before going back to the stands....?

Pack a flask?

A lot of college football games are like this, too.

I went to UMiami which plays in a pro stadium and played baseball so I didn't ever get to go to many college games....although I recall UF having a no booze in the stadium when I went recently.... That's nuts....

Do they sell it in the stadium?

If you're rich enough to afford a box seat, they'll bring you drinks no problem. You just couldn't leave the box seat with the drinks.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Yes, the bars are all in the walkways behind/underneath the seating areas. You sink a couple of pints and have a piss before kick-off, get up at the 43rd minute to beat the queues, have a piss and sink 2-3 pints during half-time. At least at Wembley they're fairly quick at pouring beers so the queues move pretty fast and you usually don't miss anything.

You're not going to get tickets in the Liverpool end, so you'll be supporting Spurs.

So did they take the test or not? The article just says Jones was mouthing off and Blind was reluctant to take it.

re: ticket on sale dates.

There is no market for resale of tickets this year, so the stubhub option of years past is gone (which is good). However, they open up sales to members, then guests of members, then anyone else who feels like going to Wembley on the day.

Given that most of the lower bowl is either season ticket holders, away allocation/local allocation per the agreement with the local council, or going to be bought up by members (especially for Liverpool), you get either Club Wembley seats (about 75 pound per), or you get upper bowl.

I'd cheer for Spurs, pubs would likely be more fun before hand and I am guessing you'll have more fun once you are there not getting kicked out by a steward for sitting in the wrong area.
