smokie36 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) http://www.dailymail...-booze-ban.html So looks like this debate is about to rage....I'm in favour of us all being treated like adults...maybe some of the older fans will think differently...away you go..

StevieH Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 not having a pint while watching the match has never really bothered me that much to be honest. i'd only spill it anyway. i'm more pissed off at not being able to have a fag while watching.

Yeah this gets stricter every year...must be all the dogooders complaining. Old Trafford was pretty good at turning a blind eye...not been for a couple of years though.....WHL no chance now. Good pies mind... Clubs don't provide areas cos it detracts from you queueing up to buy stuff from them....how long before they start confiscating your sarnies before entering?

Fine not smoking whilst in the seats but there should be somewhere allocated during half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone are the days when it was more than going to just watch the footie,getting arseholed with your mates in the local after a meet at the cafe for a beer soaking FUL MONTY,buying pie and chips outside the ground,eating it while queing to pay in! rolling around the United road smoking anything you could get hold of,pissing in the paper or the programme where you stood and juggling the two or three pints that you managed to buy at half-time that is if you never took a bottle of scotch in with you.Then stumble into town for a chinky or a ruby and end up at brahmz and lizts or the ritz for the ten to twos!! somethings i do miss about Manchester...the craic! Forgot to add waking up somewhere with somebody you didn't know and then getting back to the local for 12 opening time to discuss the weekends highlights and who got nicked,who got screwed or who got nailed!!! Great times! Edited July 26, 2011 by MrRed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokie36 Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 How could i forget the Hacienda!! :blink: same reasons as shaun ryder and thousands of others? <deleted> was well shut by the time I reached Manchester in 2005. Had to content myself with a few bands up an' down the Oxford Rd etc.....and a decent DJ session in the Northern Quarter.....good fun the Manc scene.....great people. @Mr Red....I used to use the Brahms and Liszt in Bath St in Glasgow back then....Manchester chose to turn down my application back in '89....Barstards mind I doubt I'd have got any studying done....call the cops....
