- Head out at around 38 mins

Thereby forcing everyone else to let you past??

And you seem to want to be congratulated for this?

So now people aren’t allowed leave at all. If you’ve a problem with someone leaving once during a half of rugby, you’re the problem.

Amazing that people manage to sit through and hour or more fo a play or concert without a single person leaving until the interval or the end. How do they possibly do it ?

Because they’re not boozing whilst watching the show.

Because it doesn’t take 10 minutes to get to a urinal.

Because the barstaff tend to be professionals rather than students.

Please don't get me started on the bar staff. The young girl working at the bar for the card only outside 505 was pathetically slow. I've seen glaciers move quicker than her.

I think you need to re-evaluate your life.

Are people on a sports forum really criticising someone for being in a bad mood when their team loses?

Theres no talking to me for at least an hour after a connacht rugby or Galway hurling loss. Most of my friends/ family the same way about some team or other. I suppose we all need to re evaluate our lives en Masse😂

Quite few working there are in school/college and never really worked in bars before and wont be able cope with busy periods at all. Will always be few who're very slow.

Minimum wage, probably doing as a side job for college. Fast enough for me....

3 bar taps broken in the mad busy premium bar at half time once:

Me to barman "Can I get...." for each one until told none are working. Other taps are busy so I ask for a bottle to make things easier amd quicker "Sorry I'm not actually severing" I don't think I, or the people surrounding l, ever felt like slapping someone so much

Maybe they need table service sort of thing, somebody brings your drink to you for a tip?

Then the person serving you would be standing in someone else's way.......;);)


No matter what you do some people will find a reason to complain

In Rome they have lads walking around serving people in the seats

seemed to work quite well, though perhaps when there are 52,000 Irish people it may not work as neatly

Also, the Aviva stairs and seating are steep AF. I'm actually amazed there hasn't been a major incident I've seen. Although TLS might have seen some given he's there for more games.

There are plenty of stadia with steeper stairs and seating. Plenty more.

Its not like the Aviva is anything special.

Maybe the levels of drunken debauchery aren't quite as bad as this thread would have you believe and people can still negotiate steps.

errlloyd

I'd be surprised if many stadia are as steep as the Aviva upper tier but I could be wrong. No stadium I've ever been in comes close and certainly not Olympico in Rome.

I saw an Irish older lad in Montpellier stadium (Altrad) absolutely smash his face to pieces when he misjudged a step. It was proper nasty.

Jesus could you imagine the outrage there'd be of someone then standing in the way of someone's view because they're selling drinks to people in the seats!

And people aren't even looking where they're going, they're so busy updating their Insta feeds while carrying 12 pints and trying to chat up the new bird who just moved over from KPMG and is well up for it according to Killian and Simon.

Wont happen in Aviva. There is people walking around serving customers in concourse but most dont go to them for bottles and prefer pints....

You keep saying that with no stats. A lot go for bottles because the pints and service of the pints is so shocking

Aviva isn't steep.

It is. It is not as noticeable when full but if you go up to the top of level 5 when its empty, it is bloddy steep! I get a bit vertigo if I have to go up there and I worked as a tree surgeon so should have no issue with heights!

There are incidents at every event where people slip/fall in the upper levels. Most go unreported and the only way we know they happened is by the blood on the ground.The

Selling pints to people at their seats will still mean people will need to get up and down so it won't solve the OPs problem.

maybe the vertigo is making people drunk jesus , this explains it all to me now , and it's giving me a nose bleed . Think this has run it's load

Everyone "has" vertigo when the realise they have crap seats.. We know the right questions to ask however to tell if its genuine or not.

Dave_The_Sheep

New Lansdowne is pretty steep at the top levels. I brought my aul lad a few years back without realising he suffered from vertigo. He was not in any way comfortable, refused to go back to those seats. Which is fair enough. And he was 100% sober at that point.

It's a steep section at the top. No arguing that.

There's the problem - he wasn't drinking enough. It was a rugby match he was at after all......
