I've seen no difference so far tbh. I think we might see a bit more of an affect when it gets warmer.

It doesn't [ineed[/i to. Any more than a pub [ineeds[/i to have a big screen showing sports.

If they served a decent pint then I'm sure bums would be up and down to get some more, but as they only sell dishwater even the alcoh's don't seem to bother with it.

I'm sure more of it would be getting drunk if what was being offered on the pitch was poor, but as we are seemingly offering class entertainment on the pitch then a drink is the last thing people would want to get off their bottoms for. In past seasons that might have been different though

It does need to in order for the SMC to generate appropriate revenue to maintain prices for all spectators for entry to the stadium as they are!

But i now have 3 pints through the duration of the game instead of 1 pint. Thats extra revenue and profit isn't it?

Only issue I have is the number of people who are more "merry" than before. Especially as several of them dont seem to be able to handle it and we get spillages. Getting up and down is no more than normal really.

You voluntarily drink three pints of that crap? You must have no tastebuds!

I don't suppose there's been a substantial enough increase for it to make a difference to admission prices. Most will drink what they drink regardless, though, as has been pointed out, they will drink it in their seats instead of missing parts of the match.

Oh, and, what Standee said.

To be fair the majority tend to go for a pee when we or the opposition score thus minimising the amount of game time missed.

Take your own cans in then!

God forbid us being a bit merrier eh.

Pretty well my view, only slight thing I've seen change is people standing in the stairs gabbing to each other at half time rather than in the concourse. But in terms of having to let people in and out all the time I've seen no change. Perhaps I sit on the same row as the Hull Methodist Church contingent & Temperance Society.
