And how much income would be lost? What about closing pubs too ?I never drink when attending football matches. I did once at a Rugby game but quickly lost interest in what was happening on the pitch.
It would be far easier and less problematic to simply ban all non corporate alcohol sales at football games. Dry stadia, if you can't manage a couple of hours without, maybe best to not go.

It's crazy how badly some people want this country to become like North Korea. Let people do what they want.I never drink when attending football matches. I did once at a Rugby game but quickly lost interest in what was happening on the pitch.

Serious question...why not just have a pint after the match? There is no way I would risk missing 10 minutes of the match for a
Your preference to not drink beer at a football match is your own privelige, I like a beer when I’m watching football. Everyone enjoys their matchday experience differently, and that’s what makes it good for each individual.Serious question...why not just have a pint after the match?

How about NOT getting a pint at half time and NOT missing any of the match.Your preference to not drink beer at a football match is your own privelige, I like a beer when I’m watching football. Everyone enjoys their matchday experience differently, and that’s what makes it good for each individual.
I personally would prefer to not wait over 10 mins to get served and have a battle on my hands every half time to get to the bar. Each to their own. Just putting a point of view out there, which seems to be different to the majority on this thread, but I don’t think that makes it wrong.
This change probably won’t happen anyway, but I think it would be a good thing.
I do have a pint after the match as well by the way, and my point is that I feel I shouldn’t have to miss 10 mins of the game due to the fact that the catering at Argyle is bobbins.
I support any ideas to improve this situation
It's not about whether people can manage to go a couple of hours without a drink. Unless you think everyone who has a pint or two at a football match is an alcoholic - which would be quite an accusation. It enhances the experience for some, just like it does with a meal in a restaurant or even at the cinema. Would it be best for those people to stay at home too? If your logic was implemented, the entire hospitality industry would collapse.I never drink when attending football matches.

In Fanta lies the answer perhaps...Amazes me how so many football fans are happy to infantalised. Of course drinking should be allowed as it is in every other sport and every other country. It was banned as a result of the particular situation in English football grounds in the 80s and was certainly justified then but things are very different now. I would however agree bars should be shut during play itself, football is too intense to put up with people pushing past you every 5 minutes juggling pints of beer as they do in cricket and rugby
Unfortunately alcohol infantilises fans. I love a beer, Just not at football. My behaviour (not drinking) has no adverse effect on my fellow supporters. Other fans behaviour (drinking) has had an adverse effect on my enjoyment of a game...at the extreme end violence, at the less extreme end fairly constant interruptions with toilet breaks and taking seats late. I've had some nightmare scenarios over the years where fans have not only been drunk, but also verbally and physically violent topped off with a good old bit of racist chanting...not great. It's a minority I know but it kind of takes the enjoyment out of the experience.Amazes me how so many football fans are happy to infantalised.
