Huffton Posted 17 July, 2010 Posted 17 July, 2010 Planning taking the kids to one of the pro 40 games over the school hols. Anyone know if they still let take your own food and drink (read beer) in, or is it likely to get confiscated?
Colinjb Posted 17 July, 2010 Posted 17 July, 2010 You can propbably get away with about 4 cans or so and a hip flask. But that would be about it. With Kids about anyway would you really need to drink more? Having said that though the pro 40 game v Scotland I went to for a mates stag do a month or so ago was an utter lager fest..... or at least it was fo me and an army mate.

bungle Posted 17 July, 2010 Posted 17 July, 2010 They never check anything at Pro 40. They'd probably only worry if you arrived with a keg. Take what you want and ignore colin.
Colinjb Posted 17 July, 2010 Posted 17 July, 2010 Who the f*ck made you god? Fine, get leathered around the nippers, they'll love it. The best thing is of course that it couldn't possibly end in tears. We were very cautious when we went so you probably would get away with more to be fair. Found the standard of the beer there to be quite acceptable though if a little pricy (as you would sadly expect.)

Only wanted to know if you could take a few in, I do have some sense of parental responsibility. Thanks.
hamster Posted 17 July, 2010 Posted 17 July, 2010 Went to my first game a2 years ago (Hants v Spotfires) and was approacghed by a group of lads asking to store their bber (about 3 crates) in mt boot until after the game as they'd been stopped taking it in. They were necking it like it had gone out of fashion, good lads). Told them I'd be leaving early so declined politley...then spotted the moon and star tatto on one blokes leg and felt good. They were on some stag do and once inside the ground proceded to pint by pint spoil the day for a lot of people, then the pompey songs started and we moved to the other side of the ground. btw I had a couple (at their prices that hurt enough to prevent the full effect anyway) and mrs h had her smuggled in chateua smurf du fartrade rioja so all ended well apart from Kent playing badly. my advice, if taking wine take it in a carton, i know it's not the best quality stuff but is inconspicuous in a large coolbag, and for beer I'd chuck a couple of bottles in the mr's handbag and another couile in a carrier wrapped in your packamac. worst case scenario you either drink them pre-entry, bin them or run back to the car. emjoy the match it's not as boring as one might think imho.
Chin Strain Posted 17 July, 2010 Posted 17 July, 2010 This should help. 4 cans of beer for all domestic games except T20 (which I'm going to tomorrow so it's full price beer for me:( ) http://www.rosebowlplc.com/pages/domestic-ground-regulations/

Bourno Posted 19 July, 2010 Posted 19 July, 2010 The food outlets are open under the new stand, £5 for a cheeseburger, they are having a laugh, that even more expensive than the rip off at St Marys.

You can take as much as you want... I went with a couple of mates and we took in 30 cans iirc
