Can we take drink to our seats ? . Unlike Old Trafford .

17.2 Being in possession of any intoxicating liquor, or bottle, can or other portable container and which could cause damage or personal injury, when entering the Ground or in a public area of the Ground from which the event can be directly viewed

im guessing at NO

16 Mobile telephones are permitted within the Ground, provided that they are used for personal and private use only PROVIDED THAT no audio, visual or audio-visual material captured by a mobile telephone may be published or otherwise made available to any third parties including, without limitation, via social networking sites.

take note

Yes you can.
I sent an email to the RFL to ask.
If I could get me email to work I would have posted the reply on here.

unfortunately the Etihads a football ground...covered by the football reg...like Wembley, old trafford, etc

When I went watching Oasis there, back in't day, people were videoing on their mobile phones, consuming alcohol from pint pots (literally on the pitch as well), and then refilling the pint pots with pi$$, which was then flung in the air. The football regs presumably are a stipulation of the FA/PL, and won't necessarily apply to all events at the stadium.

Was there any swearing ?

You could take ale to your seat for the GB v Aus game that was held there, just as you can at Wembley, so that's rubbish.

I think I heard somebody use the phrase "Flippin' 'eck" at one point.

ok..you may know better than me...im just guessing

Im sure you'll be able to take your beer to your seat for the games. The staff will probably just cover up the signs saying that you cant like they do at the DW stadium. By the way i was there on sunday and a "fans special" of two pies and two pints of lager was £12!

As I posted earlier.

The actual reply read

'Yes any drinks purchased in the ground can be taken into the stadium bowl.'

Best not spill any then

Me and wife was drinking on the pitch at the Ethiad stadium... Take That
