I suppose I would have been all for it when I was in my 20s. Now, fcuk off. The last thing I want is some well oiled chump sitting next to me prattling on with beer talk, getting all touchy feely when we score and stumbling back and forth for a piss every 20 minutes.
There are some rules like not being able to drink in lounges within sight of the pitch after a certain time and so they close the curtains, which is palpable nonsense.
But I dread the day drinking in the stand is reintroduced. I don't want to be showered in beer every time a goal goes in, and that is what would happen. The amount of aggro this would cause. As much as I love going to football, every fan base is full of knobs.
Now, I have sat at many a rugby game with a pint of Guinness in hand, but Rugby is a different sport, with different moments of a critical nature. Rugby crowds are also full of knobs, but middle class twats don't throw beer, working class twats do.
There should be a halfway house, serve beer, but only low ABV stuff, maximum 2%
The sensible move would be to sell before, half time and after the match but not during the game. You can buy a beer and take it to your seat, but there will be no back and forth of people going to the bar during the match, getting completely plastered and would reduce frequent toilet trips. People who want a drink whilst they watch the game can do so in moderation, those who don’t aren’t inconvenienced.

Don't think class comes into it at all. I know plenty of middle class people who love throwing beer around and plenty of working class people who don't and who love going to the rugby. These views of football fans being of a lower class and standard have held back the rights of football fans for years. There are plenty of bad eggs at rugby matches, concerts and even places like Wimbledon but they don't lead to the masses being treated like second class citizens
