[Archived] Drinks licence application

[Plastic Head]

Rovers have put in a drinks licence application for the pitch area at Ewood.

Well that would be good news for the manager at least who could drown out the howls of derision with half a dozen cans of super strength lager during the match and will no longer have to wait for the game to end to cadge some wine off Fergie.

I suppose the real intention is to sell drinks at events other than football matches (I hope) such as concerts etc. Sure this will be some nonce boyband rather than a band actually worth seeing such as the Dead Kennedys or The Fall.

Anyway some drinks related footballers include.

Ben Foster(s)

John Beck(s)

Hakan Mild

Mickey Gynn

John Bailey(s)

Norman Bell(s)

John Miller (lite)

Tim Flowers

Danny Murphy(s)

Tony (double) Diamond.

Ok enough.

It would have to be for things other than football matches as alcohol is not allowed in sight of the cameras

Unless you're Mike Ashley

[Seggie]

To me this seems to make perfect sense, create potential extra revenue streams, could also be good for the town if Ewood is used for things like live music

Lot of pints in full view of the cameras at White Hart Lane in the Spurs v Arsenal game. When one corner was taken, there were about ten pints lined up with varying amounts of beer in them on top of the electronic advertising hoarding!

A lad at Bolton last year in front of me was drinking with his mate. He kept goading the home fans which I told him to stop as he'd get himself arrested. Apologised to me - but then carried on. Eventually him & his mate were arrested when the Police came up to throw him out

That's better.

You're not allowed to drink alchohol within view of the pitch.

The venkys would promise bands like ac/dc and deliver them who's cd is played at half time (or steps before anyone who saw my tweet suggests them )

You want to come with me to the steps reunion Tour Abbey we have 4 of us you can be the 5th so we can each go as a member of the band

Would be good for extra money. Always wondered why the ice arena doesn't do events?

I'd rather do a naked lap dance for the venkys on turd moor!

The kind bar staff at Ewood this season leave the tops on if you buy bottles of Carlsberg so drinking at your seat is a doddle....

We drank plenty at Turd Moor when the Rossers let us up to our seats.

"Beer and Fags while Burnley go down, Beer and Fags while Burnley go down"... Oh happy days!

Apart from the big red sign that says "No alcoholic beverages are permitted past this point" or words to that effect.

So? They aren't enforcing it clearly, until they do I'll continue to take drinks up with me.

If nowt else, you have a fine taste in music.......

Obviously, they are sorting out the legal issues early for when the players return with the Champions League Trophy in a few years time.
