    I don't know if this is of interest or has been mentioned already but apparently we shall be able to partake in a Heineken or 2 in the ground next season .

    That is going to be a very very small sip each.

    The company brews around 16.46 billion litres of beer per annum so there should be enough to go around.

    Will it still be served by disinterested teenagers at dribbling speed?

    Better than what they currently serve lager wise. But only just.

    More anti-British wokery by the club. Why can’t they stick to great British beers like Fosters or Carlsberg?

    Had the displeasure of experiencing the 'service' in the Rookery concourse at half time against Stoke. I pre-ordered my pint on the little machines, then they were shocked when I asked for a fresh pour. Strange.

    Given the talk about the service quality and the *****ness that is what could loosley be termed beer, we'll end up sobering up quicker than we can get drunk.

    Mind you the local brew is Stella, can't see that selling well given it's origin if it's available.

    I remember (over 40 years ago), travelling on the night ferry from Harwich to the Hook. It was a Dutch ship, surviving draught Heinkein in 330ml glasses. Such a weak beer I thought - half a dozen later I realised that Dutch brewed Heinkein was a different beast from the stuff that came out of Bedford or Reading or whatever mega keg English beer factory it is made in. Pity we cant sign up to Tring breweries or Mad Squirrel - heyho

    As Heineken bought out Beavertown, I hope there would be some Neck Oil on tap.

    There's a bloke who sits near me in the family stand who I've seen drinking whiskey from a glass bottle on several occasions. Must have cheeked it to get it in.

    Apparently he has a season ticket in both the family stand and rookery and moves whichever way we are shooting, though he seems to spend most of it at the bar.

    He has the physique of Mr Greedy and wears one of those awful cockney flat caps.

    Bit like this:

    Now that's a proper football fan!

    I don't have the nerve to bring in glass, I decant it into a plastic water bottle and shove it down my undercrackers, next to my cok and town halls.

    I've never felt so inadequate compared to this chap.

    Done that a couple of times at away games in the past. Bit of vodka inside one of the 500ml coke bottles and they let you waltz in with it provided the cap is off!

    No. Full head of hair and no glasses, so different person unless it's some elaborate Mrs Doubtfire style ruse.

    I suppose this sums up football supporters as eternal optimists: Do you really expect first class service or quality food or drink at a football match? Crap versions of all of these are parts of the deal.

    Would be nice to think he changes into a different disguise when he goes to the other stand.

    Does he pull a whiskey face, with his mouth becoming a rectangle of momentary pain each swig?

    I don't think it touches the sides to be honest. Always walloped, ignoring his kids and annoying everyone around him, except the one time his wife came and he looked like he was off to church and acting the model father.

    Sorry about my behaviour at the footy. I'll try to sort myself out. My kids are in their mid/late twenties by the way

    So are you saying that the one time I came with you wasn't how you usually behave ?
