We take a pack of lager with us and when we park up, drink them then before walking to the ground. I always find the lager at the ground tastes like it's been diluted and I ain't paying best part of £5+ for that. We used to buy a couple of cans of cider or whatever at the off licence next to the chippy. In the old days when I didn't care about spending money to not be entertained and be in a **** bad mood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) https://www.marca.com/en/football/2022/08/07/62ef43cc22601dec6a8b4576.html Quote African player misses his wedding because his club wouldn't allow him to travel and sent his brother in his place Mohamed Buya Turay planned his wedding for the end of July 2022, but he did not count on being signed by Malmo FF of Sweden, and the team did not allow him to travel to celebrate his marriage, but that was not an impediment for the ceremony to take place. Who came to get married in place of Mohamed Buya Turay No one better than your brother to stand in for you, but it all depends on the situation, although such is the fraternal bond between Mohamed Buya Turay and his brother, that he decided to send him to represent him at the marriage ceremony in his place. "We were getting married on July 21 in Sierra Leone. But I couldn't be there because Malmö asked me to arrive earlier," the striker told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet. "We took the photos beforehand, so it looks like I was there, but I was not. My brother represented me at the royal wedding," the African footballer revealed with much surprise. His wedding ceremony, scheduled for July 21 in his native Sierra Leone, was overshadowed by the transfer to Malmö from Henan Songshan Longmen of China. It was logical that Mohamed Buya Turay would not be able to be in both places at the same time, so he asked his brother to take his place and meet his girlfriend Suad Baydoun at the altar. https://www.marca.com/en/football/2022/08/07/62ef43cc22601dec6a8b4576.html Edited August 9, 2022 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would always go to the bodega up the street from the cinema and buy popcorn, beer/whatever you tipple was and walk past all of ghe concession stands charging 10X's the price.

Genie Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I bet that beer tastes like shit too. Same for food, why do people subject themselves to wrestling in line to by the overpriced crap in the ground? It’s only a couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’ve been out and drinking and plan to continue drinking after the match, having a two hour break can really kill the mood. For others it’s probably a way of dealing with tension, others to kill the boredom of the half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 From my experience of away days where its say west ham so a 6am start on the beer, 3pm kick off so get there at maybe 2.30pm off the tube that's a good 8 hours on the piss, maybe 10 beers some shots etc Stopping is not a good idea (starting isn't a good idea either but hey ho...) I needed at least 1 before the game and some food, half time depended on thr stadium and the day, I didn't usually drink on the way home I slept badly as the regret kicked in, if I stopped at 2pm that sleep kicks in during the game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
