@Garryjmac72 @bbcburnsy I dont think it will. Beer in the ground aint great.

[Mass @Marcusas11]

@keiranpedley Me for ages what's your problem?

[Mass @Marcusas11]

@NerineHalton @100glitterstars Thats far gone now. Even Millwall West Ham passed pretty peacibly. Stop thinking of football fans as sub human. Theres always morons but you see that everywhere

[Mass @Marcusas11]

@Emakhu_Enjoyer @The1885Show Different people, different event. Ive had a season ticket for 20 years no way the regulars (or probably the stadium/club) will tolerate that. Might get one or two morons to start with, but will get sorted out easily. This is the most common argument against, but its rubbish.

[Mass @Marcusas11]

@kevtheman10 Great to hear you have such a low opinion of your fellow wolves fans. Im all for it. Anyone throwing beer would soon get sorted.

[Mass @Marcusas11]

@clairespurs1 @PhilVeasey1 Season ticket holder for 20 years and I want it. No necking a pint to get to my seat. No one in my area would tolerate beer throwing and the club would chuck people out. Always impressed how lowly people think of their fellow fans.

[Mass @Marcusas11]

@Kingkeir A tiny percentage of overall repondents regularly go to games so its kind of pointless

[Mass @Marcusas11]

@HonestFrank That game was dry in the ground. So no beer in the concourse either. So if the ban was lifted they still wouldnt have had beer.

[Mass @Marcusas11]

@nachovidal485 @Kevin_Maguire Scottish I take it. Down here in England we have all that. So stands is the next logical step. I also think the rules in Scotland are a joke.

[Mass @Marcusas11]

@jennyrenb @Kevin_Maguire Er I suspect this wont make people any more drunk than they already are. They do drink beforehand.

[Mass @Marcusas11]

@ForestFanDad @Kevin_Maguire My kids would still come. Anyone throwing beer would quickly get sorted. By the club or fellow fans. Stadiums arent fan parks for performative sport watching just yet.

[Mass @Marcusas11]

@Kevin_Maguire Yougov lost me ages ago. It takes a certain type of person to go through long surveys asking about what ads you saw.

[Mass @Marcusas11]

@Tmb_84 @FasilBalti We should probably just ban drinking then

[Mass @Marcusas11]

@anthony_ward @anyotherleader1 @Lawton_Times I have worked with young people for all my life, they are not the idiots you think they are. There might be a few, but they will be quickly discouraged. As for the 40 years, I say that as a lot of these comments about this are coming from those who dont go regularly.

[Mass @Marcusas11]

@CWichbold @Lawton_Times I mean I dont want beer thrown everywhere, I just dont think people would put up with it. I just want to be treated like a normal human being. One thing I hope we can agree on is getting rid of VAR it really is great celebrating a goal without worrying about it.

[Mass @Marcusas11]

@anthony_ward @anyotherleader1 @Lawton_Times Yeah worked for that paper, part of the reason I have no respect for journalists. They think they are experts on everything whilst having very little experience of the thing they are talking about (i worked around HE at the time, so no not just football).

[Mass @Marcusas11]

@anthony_ward @anyotherleader1 @Lawton_Times Fan parks are completely different, as are the people that go to them. I have 40 years of experience going to football and it just wouldnt fly in the ground. It just wont be tolerated and clubs wouldnt tolerate it either

[Mass @Marcusas11]

@CWichbold @Lawton_Times Fan parks are completely different. Ive been going for 40 years, none of the regulars around me would tolerate it, neither should the stadium/club. It also doesnt happen in most pubs because landlords dont tolerate it. Kick people out and if it did happen it would soon stop.

[Mass @Marcusas11]

@CiaranBloo @alelliott88 Thanks for this thread. Its like everyone's indoctrinated that football fans are uncontrollable animals who apparently are 1 extra pints away from rioting. I just want to take the remains of my pint to the stands rather than downing it or missing 5 mins of the game.

[Mass @Marcusas11]

@CiaranBloo All these moans are from people who dont sit in the stands regularly. Im a season ticket holder of 20 years and the regulars around me might be a bit older, but most can hold their bladder for 45mins. Also none of us would tolerate beer throwing.
