..But is there anything you can do or take that stops you weeing? Not for good you understand, just long enough so I can sit through a cold English football match.

CONTRARY to previous answers, it is NOT a good idea to deny yourself a drink all day before going to a match and this will NOT (on clinical evidence) decrease the rate at which you urinate. Your kidneys filter and process fluids at the rate of hundreds of litres per day (because of the number of times fluid is circulated). Clearly, a few millilitres here or there, on one particular day, is not going to seriously alter things.
It might seem paradoxical but, on the evidence, if you do deliberately cut intake, you will actually increase the need to urinate in the short-term. ( The physiological explanation for this is that the concentration of urine is a factor in determining when you feel an urge to 'go' (You'll also of course increase your anxiety levels - which in itself will send you to the toilet!) In fact there are a number of 'triggers' for urination; it is not as simple as it seems.
Elderly people who are prone to incontinence often attempt to cut their drinking - and make themselves worse in the process...

The things that make you pee are called diuretics. Coffee and tea are both diuretics, so don't have ANY for a few hours before you go to the match. You should be OK.

Don't drink. No, there are no pills for the situation you are talking about. I have sat at many football games and I just didn't drink so I wouldn't have to go.

Go to the bathroom right before the game... and don't drink anything all day before the game. You might get a bit dehydrated, but it will probably help keep you from having to go during the game.

There is a prescription drug for that, you need to see your doctor! I have the same problem, and if you dont drink lots of water, gatorade, etc you should be ok for a little bit!

Tie a knot in it and you will be fine, not tied it myself but let me know how it goes if you can manage it?
