Well it is at some grounds so I wouldn't worry about it.
A few (tedious, boring) people have jumped on the "I'm a massive pedantic arse" train and decided that's what matters. Disregard them.

If we are having beer luzzing mitigated by CCTV please can we also retain our bottle tops?!
Off the top of my head, the City Ground, Turf Moor, and apparently St Mary's.
I'm not a religious attendee at away games so I'm probably missing some.

Where are you getting lager for a fiver at the Amex? Assuming it’s a special low key kiosk? DM me hun
The Fosters in the East is about £5.10/£5.20
You are intolerant of people with different opinions and practices to yourself?
My comments were observations, no criticisms. I have no issue with people necking copious pints of lager over 90 minutes, and luzzing it around, but like most things there’s a time and a place…..save this behavior for BoxPark

I’d be in favour of this if they kept the kiosks closed during the game (including the self service machine) so people don’t keep getting up and down

As annoying as that is, people behave how you may not like at the football. Lots of people annoy me at the football, however it doesn’t bother me that much that it lets me think that all football fans act the same. The behaviour at Rugby is appalling on occasion, but they don’t have a ban.There’s plenty on here that have said they don’t want it … with lots of different reasons given. It’s my view that I don’t want alcohol in the stands to return. That’s my reasonable and measured approach to this.
Just to add … at Wolves on Saturday I was next to two blokes who had obviously been ‘on it’. When we ‘scored’ our offside goal he just went way over the top with celebrating (not realising it had been disallowed) and threw himself over the two people in front of them … via colliding with me and knocking me into the couple well into their 80s on my other side. The chap in front wasn’t happy and said when we score a goal that actually stands, he didn’t want a repeat performance from pissed up bloke… who when he’d picked himself up was facing me and screaming in my face resulting in spittle on my face. Really not very pleasant.
Just imagine if this chap was allowed beer in the stands. I wonder what might happen when we score
I read @PascalGroß Tips post different. it’s behavior that encroaches significantly and negatively on other fans he doesn’t like. Most fans are fine, and most fans celebrate in a normal and natural way. Sadly there’s a number, like the ones PGTips mentions, who don’t, who celebrate in this new OTT ostentatious and slightly manufactured way, which seriously impacts on others.

Absolutely spot on
After the incident - and the chap in front saying don’t do it again … the chap who did the OTT celebration was then constantly taking the pee out of the bloke in front … hand gestures and mimicking his saying don’t do it again in a very childish immature way.
As an aside, I do recall your heavily critical comments about the away support at Liverpool this season. This did seem to bother you “that much”.
Blimey, I too thought that beer luzzing was a bit of an 'English' thing. I've changed my mind again. Keep the ban!It's not.
Here, it's a constant problem. So much so the KNVB (Dutch FA) are doing their very best to stop it.
Voetbalclubs worstelen met aanpak biergooiers: ‘De scheidsrechter kan ook net doen of hij het niet ziet’
Wedstrijden stilleggen, netten ophangen of de biertap dichtdraaien? De KNVB en de voetbalclubs blijven zoeken naar manieren om biergooiers aan te pakken. ,,Maar een vreugdebiertje is wel iets anders dan een gericht projectiel.”www.bd.nl
Also in Belgium:
Verbod op het gooien van bekers in het stadion
Een schrijnend en gevaarlijk fenomeen blijft zich voordoen op de tribunes tijdens onze thuiswedstrijden, nl. het gooien met drinkbekers. Ondanks sensibiliseringscampagnes van enkele jaren geleden, zien we dit respectloos gedrag opnieuw toenemen.standard.be
It also happens in Germany:

Point is for me at least, anyone who says things are an 'English' thing do not realise the same thing happens just across the North Sea.Blimey, I too thought that beer luzzing was a bit of an 'English' thing. I've changed my mind again. Keep the ban!
Away fans aren't even allowed to travel freely in The Netherlands, every single match is a bubble match due to fans behaviour and yet there are still issues. I think English football especially is in a lot better state than our European counterparts when it comes to antisocial behaviour.
Indeed. So the view expressed by some that that beer luzzing will never happen because 'CCTV will pick the offenders out and people would be too scared of being banned' is at best wishful thinking and at worst total bollocks.

Cheers. Just thought it was the norm at all grounds. The Coventry play off game last weekend they came back from the break at half time and showed a drone shot of the ground and it looked like half the stadium was outside I assumed having a smoke.
As I said I don't smoke so wouldn't have a clue. Does seem slightly unfair on those that do.
So some poor sod gets bundled over and then has the piss taken out of him for the rest of the game. Nice. We really do have some wankers in our support.Absolutely spot on
