Panic over, alcohol is available @ WC stadiums
External Link/Members OnlyAs long as fans are in corporate hospitality !
So the hordes of
posh guests & FIFA hangers on will be just fine
The same has been happening in the middle east countries where alcohol is banned for donkeys ages
Initially restricted to upmarket
posh hotels [tho in Dubai for example being made more widely available to generate AED]
Qatar had initially told fans they would be able to buy beer outside the stadium bowl itself, within the perimeter for ticketholders,
"three hours prior to kick-off when the gates open and one hour after the final whistle".
Now, it is understood beer will only be available in alcohol-serving fan zones in Qatar after 6.30pm
and drunk fans will be sent to special zones to sober up.Budweiser have paid £60m for the privilege
No doubt those organizing the event promised them the ability to sell beer at stadiums to crank up the fee to the max
Now the goal posts are being moved, so to write
So as supposedly not to offend the qatari royal family
As if those organizing had no inclination whatsoever that this would happen
I wonder what else is gonna go Pete
The tournament hasnt even started yet & there's what players can & cant say about LGBT, restricted alcohol sales & fake fans
Budweiser are going to be selling Bud Zero @ stadiums
Never had this, i'm presuming it makes Bud Light look most appealing
As for
special zones to sober up after the footy, they have these in Manchester
They're called massage parlours
The ones which open late can be a bit grim
, tho when you have beer goggles on its more difficult to notice. Or care
