[Titus]

It's the law. Would you like the authorities to limit the attendance?

So why does the law only seem to affect a few teams??

Once again the stewards were all but invisible in D Block.

I sit in Row N and have got no problem with the stewards at all

Its also law that you cannot drink alcohol in your seat at a sporting venue, but they get away with it at rugby games

theres always one jobsworth

 

[Horsham Gull]

Didnt have any problems in block C today

 

[Perkino]

I think the law is that you cannot drink alcohol in sight of a football game, therefore Rugby, Cricket and many other sports it is permissible

 

[Titus]

That nice Mr Bloom supplies you with cushioned seats with extra wide fitting so even your enormous ass can fit in them, and what do you do? You stand up to look ARD.

Does that mean the blind are actually allowed to drink in the stands ?

The story of my life!

You think wrong,but this law is only enforced at football grounds

I can only assume that you sit somewhere far away from me. The woman steward we have in our part of the North Stand has a real empathy with fans and achieves sitting down reasonably effectively, with a smile and absolutely no moaning.

Total rubbish, there is no such law compelling people to sit down at a football stadium, you are confusing the law with conditions of entry on the ticket.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

The current law (and it is LAW, not just conditions of entry, set by the Clubs) in England and Wales is set out in The Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol etc.) Act 1985, as amended - most recently by The Sports Grounds and Sporting Events (Designation) (Amendment) Order 2011.

The ban on drinking alcohol within view of the playing area covers all international football matches and any club match involving one or more senior team (from the Football Conference upwards). It also applies to all football matches involving one or more clubs from outside England and Wales who are playing matches in England and Wales. The law doesn't apply to cricket or rugby matches.

so what was this 'we sit when we want' shit? If you don't think you should be bound by the same rules the majority adhere to, kindly do one. They said 'the last four rows' or something. If you're in the front 3 dont push your luck.

honestly, I don't know where people get off of going 'sod this, I'm going to be a quasi-rebel'.

The current law in England and Wales is set out in The Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol etc.) Act 1985, as amended - most recently by The Sports Grounds and Sporting Events (Designation) (Amendment) Order 2011.

The ban on drinking alcohol within sight of the pitch covers all international football matches and any club match involving one or more senior team (from the Football Conference upwards). It also applies to all football matches involving one or more clubs from outside England and Wales who are playing matches in England and Wales. The law doesn't apply to cricket or rugby matches.

So drinking during a reserve or youth team match COULD be permitted.

 

[edna krabappel]

I <think> that the piece of legislation relating to this (the Sporting Events [Control of Alcohol] Act 1985) refers to the rule applying to "designated sporting events".

I believe rugby and cricket have managed to get themselves un-designated (or were never designated in the first place), hence you can legally consume a beer pitch side at Twickenham or Lord's. All FL, PL or League of Wales games, and all games involving a team from those leagues, are Designated Football Matches.
