| I dont think its the cost of the food at the venue thats the issue but the "sudden" changes of policy without any announcement. Yes prices at wembley are VERY overflated, but weve never had an issue taking any food in or and caprisun type packs (and the lid off bottles/decanting to a pladtic glass policy has always been well publicised)

| We had no problems going in with food even though bags were checked. Sausage rolls, crisps, sandwiches fruit and bottles of water. Wonder if it depended on which entrance you went in. We approached from Joe Mercer way.

| the only thing I purchased at the stadium was a pint and a bottle of coke.
I knew the costs would be high so I had enough food and beer in Manchester centre before going up to the ground.
if you don't want to pay high prices for food and drink then don't, nobody makes you buy pints of beer and pies do they?

| £4.20 a pint makes you take the time to think if you really want one. Having a load of bars knocking out £2.50 beer would be a recipe for disaster for those who cant handle their ale.

Now that should be true but at a couple of grand finals, in the last few years, it seems to me that the ones who can't handle their ale, get well and truly tanked up before entering the ground. They only need to buy maybe a couple of pints to maintain their inebriation dial set to pill*ck level.

Then this should come down to policing and/or stewarding on the day. For major events, police should always be in proximity (and indeed there was) due to the rival fans getting together. There are always a minority of idiots.
Entering (or attempting to enter a sports ground) whilst intoxicated/drunk is an illegal offence under the Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol) Act 1985 as detailed hereA person who is drunk in a designated sports ground at any time during the period of a designated sporting event at that ground or is drunk while entering or trying to enter such a ground at any time during the period of a designated sporting event at that ground is guilty of an offence.'"

How drunk do you have to be to commit the offence? Plenty of people had a drink and I saw at least a couple of people being helped out of the stadium (due to the state they were in) with no hint of them being arrested.

Policing would have been done on the normal basis. If you've had a few drinks but your mates are willing to take you home quietly then go home. If you are drink and causing a disturbance or being aggressive, you will be arrested.
