Pints 1-2:30pm on both the 22nd of November and 6th December for our home games.
If everyone behaves themselves this might become a permanent thing

I thought we learned decades ago that alcohol, Scots and football is a bad cocktail. I`m not seeing any positives in this move. Surely grown ups in the Norrie can do without a pint for a couple of hours. For one thing I envisage more toilet visits during the course of the game and bulky Pars fans squeezing past me just as Andy Tod is poised to hit the net.

Decades ago people brought their own carry oots into matches.
These included glass bottles. That is where the violence and blood came from, not plastic tumblers in a concourse.

The passageways in the Norrie are bad enough already, on Saturday they were busier than Dunfermline High street.
Even more annoying when they stop to watch the game, completely blocking the view of fans that have paid over £200 for season tickets!😡

If its anything like the trial during the Stirling game, it was an absolute sh*tshow for a fan not partaking in it. The barriers just got in the way of everything and there was zero organisation.

I would rather drink in the pub before the game than drink in a cold concourse out a plastic cup.
I would be interested in a half time pint with a pie though. St Johnstone and Aberdeen are doing half time pints, not sure why we aren`t.
I sit in the NW so won`t be an option anyway.

Can assure you a flat pint out a plastic cup in the Norrie within an 1.5 hour window is not going to destroy lives.
Don`t buy a pint and leave other to make that choice.

As long as consumption is restricted to the understairs concourse it’s worth a trial run.
Fans moving up and down stairs and along rows with plastic pint pots is courting problems.
Having worked for three different brewers I’m certainly not into prohibition, quite the opposite in fact, however drinking in public needs to be managed so it doesn’t impact on those who do not wish to indulge.
I can see beer getting inadvertently “discharged” when a goal is scored - an unwelcome scenario.

Thanks Susie.
Don`t see an issue in that case.
Years ago I (almost) enjoyed a beer "down the Boleyn" watching West Ham - the drinking area was below, away from the terracing and drinks had drinks to be consumed there.
If memory serves it was that awful Carling Black Label that we have the Canadian Eddie Taylor to blame for !!!

This thread is like something out of the Daily Mail comments section.
A lot of people have been asking for this for a long time - do trials, be selective about which games and see how it goes. It`s great it`s finally getting a chance.
Daft that we`re still punished for the actions of others nearly 50 years ago.
It has the potential to increase the atmosphere, make the game more of an event with folk turning up earlier and the club makes extra revenue.
Hopefully it`ll get to the stage where we [I]can[/I] have drinks in our seats. It`s no problem at games in Germany so we should be able to cope.

If EEP hosted a concert or rugby game, people would be allowed to buy alcoholic drinks and take them to their seats. The only difference is the activity being watched, it`s a joke

2018 I watched the Belgium v Japan WC match at a packed outdoor quayside arena in Antwerp - most punters had had a beer since the start.
Belgium were two down then came back with a late(ish) equaliser which obviously caused a great reaction with beer flying around - then they got the winner in added time, virtually the last kick of the game.
They place erupted and a lager cascade ensued.
Beer in seated areas in EEP would need to be restricted to a dedicated area well away from fans who do not wish to indulge........not in the Norrie.

I really enjoyed sitting in the stand with a pint watching the euro 2024 matches at east end. Not something I`d want to do every week but nice to be treated like an adult and to have the choice.
It`s often easy to criticise politicians and the police but in the interest of balance it`s maybe worth giving some credit to whoever has approved the trials and not followed the unfair, traditional, `no, those football folk can`t be trusted` attitude.

We regularly go down to Edgbaston to watch the cricket T20 finals day. 2 semis and the final over 10 hours. Champagne bars, beers and loads of food on sale. You can also take your own grub in for picnics. It’s really great being able to eat and drink at your seat, watching exciting sport with the Hollies stand full of enthusiastic (!) fans around you. Hopefully we’ll get there in Scottish football before I’m in my box.
