Here is the place to talk about all things city and football!

Someone in another thread mentioned drinking coffee at half time during a game.
I know a few on here don't drink alcohol, and others live in countries where it isn't served at games. I was just wondering what different people's favoured refreshments are at a game? Are there any particular traditions (like Bovril for night-time games in the UK) in different countries, too?
In Bosnia (and Spain from my experience) it's massively popular to nibble on sunflower or pumpkin seeds, and here drinks come in 'Capri-Sun'-like packages, so they can't be used as missiles. Alcohol can't be served at top-level games, but is generally sold from vendors' carts (whether this is legal or not, I'm unsure) at lower-level matches, and you can take your own drinks into women's games (but not for UEFA competitions).

I'm a cider drinker, and I can't afford to pay £5 for a drink so usually just a tea at half-time. Cheaper at least.

When I'm driving I have a bottle of coke with a chicken balti pie and chips either before the game or at half time. If I get the train I have 5 pints of San Miguel in Mary Ds. I usually save this for big games or when we are not playing well. It's simply to take the nerves away though it does not really work.

I used to drink whatever shite larger they had in Mary D's and then the same in the ground. But last time I bought a pint in the ground it was boarding on £4 so I usually just sneak a couple of cans of Fosters in to the ground, get the bar staff to give me an empty cup and then pure the Fosters out in to the cup.

Bovril on Chumps League games.
Town for a good long sesh before other games is ideal. Top up with red wine at half time and then dash back to the pub after the game.
I don't even know what team we are half the time!
City and sniffing knickers.
Come on Blues.

I usually try to stay away from beer at half time. I have a small blatter and would hate to have to go for a piss in the middle of the second period.
