I don't think banning alcohol is the answer, I was in the pub shortly after 10 on Saturday morning and whilst I only had one drink in the ground before kick off, the week before I was in hospitality so did have a fair few during the double header. These days the rugby is my day/night out but I think I can safely say I have never been in a state where I have affected the enjoyment others have of the game. Merry and a bit loud yes but that is about it. Sadly some people just don't know how to handle their ale.

Seriously p****s me off this does. Two idiots sat beside me at the England game in Hull were constantly getting up, going to the bar, coming back, having a drink, getting up to go the toilet, coming back, getting up to go the bar and so on. They must have only seen about 20 minutes worth of the game.



*shudder*



Probably the same answer as "can people really not go 80 minutes without smoking" especially when you go in the toilets and smell someone having a cig in there.

Just reminded me of a lad who started talking to me in the loos at half time during the SL Grand Final. He asked me who was winning, what was the score, then told me he had "heard a rumour Joel Monaghan went off" before going on about what a huge wire fan he was.

The concession owner/venue make vast amounts from beer sales. There is more chance of hell freezing over than alcohol being banned.

...in seats?

It would be a backwards step, loads of people I speak to who aren't from a rugby league background think it is great that you can have a drink whilst watching the game.

As another poster has said then, non alcohol sections of the stadium.

JCL's.

Plenty of them in Rugby League at the moment.
