Dazzler1903 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Does anyone know if the buses are getting stopped at stonehaven and searched for booze or is that just a rumor Link to comment
Virgin Don Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The buses got stopped before the QOTS game on way down not sure it was Stonhaven as think that might be a bit close. They also used the dip tests for testing if alcohol mixed in juice bottles. I remember everyone mentioning this on way down also think the trains were dryfrom Aberdeen. Link to comment
boboisared Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The QOTS game we never got our bus stopped and we had loads of drink. Link to comment

RAZOR Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Our 3 buses never got stopped at Stonehaven for QOTS. Word of advice don't let idiots on your bus with tinnies or glass bottles. Link to comment
Virgin Don Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Well maybe it wasnt that game but it was a game at Hampden or maybe the folk i was speaking were talking pish. Ah well but as Razor said don't be stupid and allow folk on with bottles, cans and stuff. Trains were dry though. TBH i don't really care as i am heading fae Edinburgh and we should be fine.

Virgin Don Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Think that was a Scotland game but it never happened. I just remember some folk moaning about getting stopped and drip tested. As i said if you let numpties on with cases of beeer it will serve you right if you get stopped. Link to comment
redtildead88 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Doubt you would get stopped in Stonehaven. Link to comment
Nig Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Theres been a couple cases recently where coopers have pulled buses just south of dundee before scotland games, only time cops have stopped our aberdden bus was about 5 years ago when we played the huns on a sunday and got taken to broadwood stadium carpark in cumbernauld and got searched. Rumours are that buses are to be stopped next saturday but this could just be scare mongering to stop people taking drink. TBH, if you canna go 3 hours without a drink on a saturday morning then !!!!!! Link to comment

That's not the point though, it's not a case of can't, it's a case of don't want to as it's a DAY out & want to enjoy the whole day. Bus trips are a helluva lot better when bevy is allowed, even more so if it's a long bus trip. Link to comment
Nig Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Not saying its right but only takes 1 numpty to break the law to f@ck up the whole day for everyone else cos the bus companies have been told that anyone found with drink on a bus will result in the bus being turned round and put back up the road-source victoria buses in PHD Link to comment
zander Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Whats the rule regarding this? No drink going to a sporting event but perfectly legal to drink coming back? Link to comment
Stoneybloke Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Doubt you would get stopped in Stonehaven. Especially as its bypassed these days. No reason to go through Stonehaven on the journey south. Link to comment
Nig Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Whats the rule regarding this? No drink going to a sporting event but perfectly legal to drink coming back? Its actually illegal to have drink on a bus returning from a sporting event as well Should be noted that international rugby games are not classed as sporting events in Scotland only football games Link to comment

paulkaneatemyhamster Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Legally speaking: you cannot drink alcohol on a bus. Public or private. Police have the right to confiscate booze, issue fine for driver and turn bus around back to starting point . Also consumption of alcohol on a bus nullifies insurance for bus and driver. However you can drink on a train or a car . As long as the driver isn't drinking I don't see the problem. However from a police point of view: football fans + booze+ 3 hour coach trip+ big game= recipe for trouble . Link to comment

Although I suppose Finlay, Cameron and Farquhar are probably more civilised than us ruffians! So is it only football that's classified as a 'sporting event' in Scotland then? Link to comment
redtildead88 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Had no idea about rugby fans being allowed drink on buses to games, that is sh*te! But they sit together at games and lick each others arses to be fair. Annoying you're not allowed on bus though when you can in the car or train. Link to comment
ChookterDon Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I think its very rare for buses to be pulled, only if there has been reports by the public or police as they've driven by of unrowdy or anti-social behaviour. Basically don't take tinnies or bottles. Maybe a couple of half bottles selotaped to ur leg eh that'll keep em guessing. They'll just search the bus if u do get stopped. No reason for them to search u unless u give them reason to! Link to comment
Old Wing Stand Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Last time I was on a bus was before the league final against Dundee police in Cambuslang pulled us over said they were acting on a tip off !We had stopped at a pub in Cumbernauld before that so all the empties were dumped there/I have also seen buses pulled into a layby beside the BP garage south of Dundee van loads of cops there Link to comment
Sheep#1 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I was on a bus to the Wales v Scotland friendly in Nov 09 and my mate who organised the bus said we weren't allowed bevvy on it, so we mixed up some magic cola. However, just as we were leaving, my mate came on the mic at the front and said the driver said we could have a 'quiet drink', as long as we weren't rowdy and didn't take it too far. Before we'd even got to the M74, there was a guy stripped to the waist, wearing just a kilt, downing a bottle of Buckfast in a oner and by the time we got the border, an old guy at the front had tanned a litre of Whisky, k.o'd and pissed himself! Those crazy weegies! Link to comment
