Taking a flask of tea to the game is this a sign of getting old?

    or being sensible with your money, I got a bit of stick yesterday which I reckon is unjustified.

    I may try a bit of soup at the next game!

    I don't think that helped, although the queuing excuse isn't bad.

    Just don't drink four cups then spend the second half with your legs crossed. It was touch and go yesterday.

    compared to the price of the piss they serve it makes sense to take your own

    Taking a flask to the match is a tradition

    tea is vile in a flask tho. We take hot choc in winter wi sometimes a spot of amaretto in it :)

    Life at the Top the book of BFC in the Prem famously opened with the lads who had taken flasks of chardonnay!

    A bit of both

    When it's cold though I like to have a warm drink at half time - coffee from the kiosk is
    1. expensive (£1.80?!)
    2. tastes like dishwater
    3. lukewarm

    So better to take a flask - had hot chocolate for the last couple of games.

    Where I sit there's a significant number of flask carrying people of pension age

    when they all open their flasks at half time there's an alcoholic haze that is released that's strong enough to knock out a rhino.</p>

    I've heard that sometimes they even put a drop of coffee in the whisky !!!!!</p>

    They can't make "black coffee" in the stadium

    Last time I asked, the catering staff said that the coffee and milk poweder are already mixed together. Yuk!

    I take a flask sometimes, when it's a bit nippy...

    You could allus

    take a CamelBak if you want to be down with the kids. You can drink throughout the match, even whilst celebrating a goal and not scald the unfortunate in front too. Not sure it'll keep thi tea warm though.
