When I still qualified for one of their fests I found it much more pleasant to stay in nearby better quality hotels, that way you could still join in the night time frivolities but maintain a standard of living that they could only dream of in their no-star hovels that they were paying five star prices for

I've been on coaches that have been stopped en-route to football grounds for booze checks so yes, it does happen. These weren't exactly major events either - MBoro v Leeds IIRC

Got to admit, in my experience, you're spot on.

No chance, but you could ask Southstanders voice of the drunken bums, LS16 who will be along shortly.

He's always smashed, I can tell you now, if I get sat next to a drunken slavering idiot ala 2008 who ruins my enjoyment and that of my son then the said drunken idiot will not return from the toilet after his first visit.

Are you saying you'd indulge in a spot of cottaging?

Sounds filthy so yes perhaps that is one of the options available.

Alternatively I might just bend him over the tiolet and give him a good old fashioned seeing to, and if that doesnt work I will revist the process.

Oooh, you know what buttons to press titch.

I couldn't help but touch myself when I read that.

Look nobody cares about drinking and coach riding, this thread has moved on to a better place.
