England followers vow to nonetheless “get p*****” with a plan being labored out to get across the sudden World Cup booze ban revealed this week.

The Three lions supporters who’ve travelled to this month’s event in Qatar have vowed they are going to nonetheless discover a method to have a drink of alcohol regardless of a ban on promoting it inside stadiums.

The affirmation got here to gentle with authorities in Qatar making a last-minute determination to not promote any booze on the eight World Cup venues.

It was ratified and agreed by FIFA on Friday – simply 48 hours earlier than the opening recreation between the host nation and Ecuador, however this actually hasn’t gone down nicely, followers and alcohol corporations feeling they’ve been bought a lie.

The official England fan group have attacked the ban on the sale of beer at World Cup grounds – however alcohol stays accessible to spectators in hospitality containers inside the nation’s stadiums – which represented a significant U-turn on the eve of the event.

Travelling followers had been promised earlier than reserving their tickets and lodging that alcohol could be accessible inside stadiums. However, others have insisted that it simply signifies that their consuming plans could be altered.

“It won’t dampen my experience too much because I will just get p****d before the games,” one fan admitted to the media.

“That’s the way the cookie crumbles.”

FIFA had beforehand agreed to promote Budweiser, one of many organisation’s largest sponsors, on the eight totally different Qatari stadiums.

Yet others have vented their frustration on the alteration with one other England fan saying: “To be honest I am very annoyed.”

“The entire time they’ve been telling us that you would be able to purchase booze within the stadium, which we had been all very enthusiastic about.

“Now the day earlier than the World Cup begins we’ve been informed we are able to’t purchase booze there. Everyone is aware of that English folks love a drink. Before I’d be buzzing earlier than recreation days and get to the stadiums early and get the drinks in, to get your self overestimated for the sport.

“Now there’s no point in getting there early. Just get there when the game kicks off. No drinks to buy so it will be a sober day really.”

The Football Supporters’ Association, which represents round 60,000 England followers and fan teams, slammed the choice by stating: “Some followers like a beer on the match, and a few don’t, however the actual challenge is the final minute u-turn which speaks to a wider drawback – the overall lack of communication and readability from the organising committee in the direction of supporters.

“If they can change their minds on this at a moment’s notice, with no explanation, supporters will have understandable concerns about whether they will fulfil other promises relating to accommodation, transport or cultural issues.”

Budweiser responded to the information in a now-deleted tweet, which joked: “Well, this is awkward…”
