If the cylons start getting their act together, I'll have a rethink.

As for taking bottle tops off 6 years olds...

This has been a bugbear of mine for sometime now, however we’ve now cracked it. The stewards don’t frisk children so my lad removes his bottle top, puts it in his pocket and carries the drink in through the turnstiles. Once through, he puts the lid back on the bottle. We then walk up the steps, high fiving each other.

And that just shows how pointless the searches are. I also think it’s a sales ploy, at wembley they made us empty out the bottles too.

Same here. I can't understand why - for example - my mate who runs a micropub, doesn't have a card machine.

“Working with Aston Villa & Villa Park is testament to the ongoing success of our original mission when we started, which is to brew great beer without prejudice, with a conscience and with a consistency and an attention to detail, which is second to none.”

Beer without prejudice and with a conscience? I really have got to read more company mission statements as I was totally unaware such magic existed.

Interesting the accounts I've read of fans who went to Spurs new ground, obviously one of the best stadiums around now but seems concourses are still tight and queues to get served at half time.

My understanding of the bottle tips having spoken with someone in H&S for the FA is to eliminate trip hazards in an emergency situation. I.e. if dropped in a rush to get out the ground they are crushed underfoot rather than hazard on stairs that could lead to a fall and further crushing

Away fans always get the worst facilities because no clubs give a shit about them. Although I didn’t think Spurs was bad last week, I’d imagine that home fans enjoy a much better “match day experience “

Quote from: Purity Brewing on Pravda
Purity have also commissioned an exclusive Pale Ale to mark the club’s return to the Premier League, which fans will also be able to enjoy at Villa Park.
"Pint of 'Pale ale allez allez!' please mate!"

It's good bollocks. I always look for a beer with a conscience, a beer with it's own mind, a living beer, a beer for the many not the few....

Then I look at the purity website and I think "Oh do fuck off"

Quite, but they do sell some decent beer which will be the first time in living memory at Villa Park.

I'll definitely give that pale ale a whirl on Saturday.
