Guest Walshy Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I came accross these on the net and I think they should be installed in every single premiership ground. http://www.break.com/index/beer-filled-from-the-bottom-1973926 They can be purchased from here Awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete1981 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Maybe you should email Rovers with that idea it would certainly cut down the queues at half time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1875 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 44 pints per minute? its a defo solution to queues and congestion caused by it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67splitscreen Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Your beer would still be flat and the queue just as long they cant add up or count out the correct amount of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 They could/should invest in some of these..... selling beer & soft drinks all along the front of the stands before the game & half time. Football clubs like Rovers should maximise the limited selling time they have on matchdays. I rarely bother to go down into the mire at Half time cos it`s no pleasure queueing in that crush. I`d take a trip down to the front though to stretch my legs & get a drink in the fresh air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slough_rover Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 They have these at cricket grounds across the country and I really did benefit from not having to queue up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presty On Tour Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 They also have them at the darts so you don't have to leave the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruz Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I'm sure they would Cletus. Just the little matter of not being able to have alcohol in seated areas that gets in the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`d take a trip down to the front though to stretch my legs & get a drink in the fresh air. I mentioned these at a Fans Forum after seeing them used at the MEN but they are quite costly and present other problems such as more congestion, the concourses are quite narrow so there would be little room to stand or queye, they could potentially work in front of the Riverside IMO but then I'm not sure how the beer situation is there with it being in view of the pitch. The beers cups shown here wont take off majorly yet I imagine due to the fact the glasses probably cost a lot more than then normal ones and the price of the equiptment would be expensive. I imagine people wouldn't be too happy if these were brought in making queueing slightly shorter but the price increased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepyjack Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 The glasses do cost more but in NFL stadia the increase has been offset by selling advertisements on the magnets which sit at the bottom of the glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 If they had them at Ewood, then they need only open one outlet behind the Riverside for cup ties. I fancied a beer at half time v QPR and the outlet behind E04 was closed. The outlet down towards the Blackburn End was open and, yes, you've guessed it, queues. So much for BRFC's consideration for their most loyal supporters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Southampton Rover Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Due to the alcohol restrictions pitchside, why dont they just sell alcohol in the stands and use these to sell fizzy drinks. This would reduce the amount of people in queues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would reduce the amount of people in queues. Just wanted to add something else which would help generate more money for the club. As well as doing the above, they could do what the American's do at the baseball etc and provide drinks during the game. They could come over to you whenever you want a refill.

Baseball goes on for hours though, and there are lots of breaks. I'm all for the beer thing though, would make things a lot quicker. Get onto it Walshy, we are all relying on you to pitch the idea to the men that matter at Ewood. In Australia they have loads of pints already pulled before hand, which makes things quicker, obviously it goes flat and warm quicker though.

Pete1981 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Ive noticed someone has mentioned it to Onerovers on Twitter and this is their response OneRovers Blackburn Rovers @ @davidmcorrigan We have looked into the multi pourer system as in newer stadias, however the costs are currently too prohibitive. http://twitter.com/#!/OneRovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
