European games used to be a total ban on alcohol until a couple of seasons ago when UEFA relaxed the rule to match. Mag, that's crazy! Was that an anti-hooliganism thing? Seems way off to me.

OpenC Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Yeah, been a thing since 1985 when hooliganism was pretty grim. Not sure if it was a direct response to Heysel or it was just a coincidence that one of the most notorious incidents happened that same year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All connected, reaction to Hysel and the subsequent UEFA ban for all English clubs - Govt at the time attempting to kerb the "hooliganism problem" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted Wednesday at 08:19 Share Posted Wednesday at 08:19 Meaning you have to smash 4 pints in 30 minutes before you go in and another 2 at half time. Sensible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenC Posted Wednesday at 11:31 Share Posted Wednesday at 11:31 It's a godsend for the folk who get apoplectic whenever anyone in their row is unfortunate enough to want to move. Can only imagine the passive aggressive tutting and eye rolling that would come from people who had to stand up, twice, just because someone fancied a pint and couldn't wait Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
