Quote: Ganson's Optician "Exactly.
As for there being more trouble last year than in the past, I can only think the ban on drinking at your seat led to people trying to neck as much as possible in a short space of time.
Like Mr Cat I got to Manchester in the morning and had plenty to drink enjoying the atmosphere in the pubs, the tension/excitement when we got there was something else so obviously the agony afterwards was a killer.
Shame that people can't handle their drink, but that is the case when you go to any major public event.'"
Quite right. It's not as if people don't get hammered for the Challenge Cup either, all this late kick off stuff is misleading, people just start drinking even earlier in the day.
