Stupid law, you can't drink alcohol within "sight of the field of play" - so its ok to have beer in the stands as long as you cant see the pitch.  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.

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.

All connected, reaction to Hysel and the subsequent UEFA ban for all English clubs - Govt at the time attempting to kerb the "hooliganism problem"

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
