    No army men ejected me from the stadium on Saturday. Victory is mine!!!

    You're lucky you weren't anywhere near my section in the stands then. :P
    It was ok, but you're not allowed drink in the stands, so a lotta people just stayed inside by the bar and watched it on the telly. Makes you wonder why they went....

    Myself and a mate were gonna go in for a pint at half time but the queue was mental. I don't get why you can't bring alcohol out. They're served in plastic cups FFS. You can bring bottles of minerals out though. Madness I tells ya.

    In fairness a lot of the tickets to the game were free I think, so it wasn't like they were wasting their money.

    You can bring drink in during IRFU games alright, but ye football fans canny be trusted. :pac:

    And minerals yes - as long as the lids are off.

    Pretty much it. Back in the day, the class of person that used to go to rugby games used to higher, with less chance of violence. Nowadays, that rule is stupid.

    It's the FAI itself that wanted that rule, not the stadium, so...*shrugs*
    I do feel bad for the people though, but sure what can you do? I'd be eaten alive if I let anyone into the bowl with alcohol. :P

    Oh, staff speak, I forgot! The stands and the pitch = the bowl.
    Those corridor things that bring you into the seats are also called vomitories. :P

    I like it there though, yer feet do get wrecked but generally it's a nice job and the people are grand (except for a wee bit of a language barrier with some foreign fans and the drunks. :pac: )

    Have been to the new Landsdowne once...saw the Guards taking away some fella before the match had even started. It was a bit tense as it was before the match started and was out in the corridors, loads of people and you didn't know if he was going to start lashing out at people or what.

    Liked the stadium anyway.

    Oh really? :eek:
    Yeah generally the Aviva is grand but there's always plenty of security hanging about the place anyway.
