Maybe they couldn't see the game because they had to keep standing up to let people out, or people in front of them were going to the bar all the time??

Nobody was going to the bar all the time though, we all took up enough beer for each half, the only time any of us got out to go elsewhere was when Bailey was down.

Do you always have to have five pints when you go to watch a rugby match ?

I don't have to, I just enjoy a beer. 5 pints is hardly going to make me bladdered is it?

You have a drink problem.

I'd say someone shoving past to go to the bar every five minutes would be a pretty good reason for those disrupted to complain.

I'd have just refused to stand up and the drunk would have had to find somewhere else to sit.

I'd just have barged past, if I said excuse me mate it's courtesy to be let past.

And as I've said, I never went to the bar at all during any of the action on the field, I took up 2 drinks to prevent me from having to do this.

If it had been quite a few times excuse me wouldnt matter.

...........if anyone barged past they'd have found themselves 4 rows down.

I doubt they would have

Doesn't that make you as bad as the people you're moaning about?

Quite correct.

If a person really can't sit down for a max 40 minutes without HAVING to go for another beer then maybe that person should have considered sitting on the end of a row instead of in the middle.

It is possible to watch 80 minutes of rugby without HAVING to have a full beer in your hand, I don't think that Ari Gold realises that yet, my concern is that he is rather young to be developing a dependance.

How about if they WANT to have drink, if they WANT to watch the game with a drink why shouldn't they?

From what Ari Gold has said he does it in a sensible way which doesn't impact on others so where is the problem? Even if he (or any other fan) did need to leave the stand for whatever reason during the game as long as they do so in a polite fashion and not every 5 mins does it matter? People need to leave the stand during a game for a number of reasons not just to go back and forward to the bar!
