Purity Ale

[Rob Gee]

These fine creators of great beers such as Pure Gold, Pure Ubu and the fantastic Mad Goose wrote the following on their twitter page on Friday:

Calling Villa & Birmingham City fans - we've got some big news to announce on Monday!! Stay tuned, or speculate, whichever your prefer :D

Anyone have any idea what it's about?

I'll be over the frickin moon if they announce they're serving this stuff at VP but life can't be that good.....can it?!?

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

It could be...they could go all the way and let us drink whilst watching the game as well!

I find it annoying enough people making their way to their seats 5 minutes after the game's started, leaving 5 minutes before half-time, returning 5 minutes into the second half and then leaving 5 minutes early. And that's without an awful lot for them to do in the concourses.

Allow everyone to purchase alcohol during the match and consume it in the stands and you'll have even more irritating coming and goings (and that's not even taking into account the added, required toilet breaks).

In my opinion, f you want a beer that much while watching a football match, go to the pub. If you want to watch the match live, in the ground, then not being able to drink beer for two 45 minute periods isn't an awful lot to ask.

Well let's hope it's one thing that FIFA allow to happen. It seems everyone is allowed to in the World Cup and UEFA don't seem to mind in the Champions League (as long as you are famous).

I'm sure whoever supply the current Premier League official beer wouldn't mind either.

I meant in a more, civilsed manner, similar to when Hugh Grant was watching Fulham in the Europa Cup final, they were bringing drinks out to him via a waiter. Is that really too much to ask for with my season ticket in the Upper Holte?

Oh please god, let it be true that Purity is coming to VP.

Mighty fine ales!

That's the first day of my leave, wiped away in a session of Purity watch then!

Seems to work OK at cricket grounds.

Rats, announcement put back until Tuesday, according to their Twitter page.

Ah well, I live in hope!

They dont let you come and go while the action is on. You wait until they are between overs.

[London Villan]

Could easily work, whereby you can only bring a beer into the ground before kick-off and not during play.

I was more thinking of those Red Stripe girls that come round to your seat with a Ghostbusters style back pack full of beer.

Watching the villa with a beer what more could you ask for in life.

Some would say thats the only way to watch the Villa !!

So we could have breaks for technology to decide whether the ball is over the line or someone is offside or for some sort of penalty appeal then extra time added at each stoppage for beer and bladder breaks.  Should suit ITV!

Haha, shame ITV don't show the football.

Although I'm sure SkySports would like to cash in on that too! I was watching some baseball on ESPN before the summer and there were breaks everywhere!

It's a shame there were only 9 other people in the UK watching the same channel ;)
