How am I talking "guff"?
If people don't buy something, the business has to do something to change it so that people buy it again.

Maybe the part where I said people can go without a drink for 2 hours is "guff". That's pretty sad isn't it if you can't go without a drink for 2 hours?!

Like i said it's all about the day for me and yes I like a pint or several! If it's a DTRR get together hip flask are mandatory! My day or many others doesnt start in the ground,it may start in the pub or in the train etc so I think it's a ludicrous suggestion to stop drinking rather than sort the problem out!

If that's how it works, maybe I save all my cups for the season and take them back in a black bag at the last game?

Be like a summer holiday saving plan!

Well then there lies your problem. You have to have a drink. You can't go without. Everyone would only need to stop for a game or two for the club to realise and they would then have to take action to sort the problem out. If you and others keep using the facilities, they won't really realise the need to change. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices in life to make a difference and too many people unfortunately are unable to do that.

Just to clarify my tickets printed in the ticket office had no bar code at all. Guy who rectified the problem on my return had clearly encountered the problem earlier. Having said that, it sounds like LCFC had a bigger debacle with their tickets yesterday. Must be something in the water!

What a brilliant idea. The only problem is that you will have to pass the new bag inspection with your swag! :smt003

Yes at the Clash Bath v Tigers last season the young Bath Bandits were like vultures grabbing spectators empty & part empty cups however one Bath? bandit in front of me with 30+ cups handed them over with glee to the returns kiosk and was given just £10 as the rule states that is the maximum return. :smt043

Erm...
So because someone chooses to have a drink at a sporting event. They're an alcoholic? What an odd world you inhabit, Ellis.

You didn't. You do however appear to have gone somewhat ranty over what was, quite clearly, a jokey comment. Something of an Internet precious action methinks.

I've not gone "ranty", I just say it how it is. Something people can't handle unfortunately.
