You just can't do without seeing a team in B&W stripes can you Les!

T&M is another of those clubs with a massive bar.


Yeah, it's not a bad set up there really for the level they play at.

Had a few pre-match drinks and a bit of a chinwag with Matt Le Tissiers brother who is bankrolling Guernsey (not sure if he still is). They have to pay the expenses including an overnight hotel stay for 22 people from the visiting team each time they have a home game! Not sure if that's still the case.

T&M won that game 4-1 and unbelieveably Serge scored 2 goals!

Hope it doesn't change. I hate going to cricket matches because of all the alcohol. I don't want my bag and clothes soaked other people's drink. I used to drink, I don't mind others doing so but being drenched in the stuff is too close for comfort.

Has anyone ever actually been to a professional sporting event and been completely drenched in beer?

No, but I did accidentally throw a pint all over somebody at a MLS game I saw when in America. I wasn't even celebrating, just drunk.

You can see that at games in Germany  fans have pints watching games. It doesn't seem to be a problem for them.

If it's £5 a pint fans won't buy that many at that price but Town could earn quite a bit out of it.

I've seen a couple of videos of Town fans on You Tube in the concourse before games where beer goes everywhere whilst a good sing-sing is going on.

Surely the big reason clubs want to visit this is for boxes and corporate hospitality? Currently, you can't even drink in view of the pitch from the confines of a box which is stupid and should be changed.

I can't remember which stadium but one has a hotel with rooms overlooking the pitch...and during matches hotel staff check you aren't drinking booze in view of the pitch. I expect it's pretty easy to get around though.
