Sorry, went on a bit of a rant earlier, but aside from that should drinking be brought back?
FA Cup Winners 2013, sounds good that
It is technically illegal to drink en route to any sporting event it just never gets policed as much
The drinking ban was very much needed when it was brought in.. But the atmosphere in grounds is very much different now to then. So maybe we should be allowed to enjoy a pint during the game, in our seat.

Correct
The Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol etc.) Act 1985 prevents:-
drunken entry into a football ground (which, in practice, to be an arrestable offence includes disorderly behaviour);
the consumption of alcohol within view of the playing area including, during the restricted period (15 minutes before the start of the event to 15 minutes after the end of the event), rooms within the ground from which the event may be directly viewed;
the consumption of alcohol on certain coaches, trains and motor vehicles travelling to a designated football match;
the possession of fireworks or flares.
The Act applies to the following sporting events:-Association football matches in which one or both of the participating teams represents a club which is for the time being a member (whether a full or associate member) of the Football League, the Football Association Premier League, the Football Conference National Division, the Scottish Football League or Welsh Premier League, or represents a country or territory.
Association football matches in competition the Football association Cup (other than in the preliminary or qualifying round).
The Act only applies in England and Wales.The Act does not apply at grounds where a match is being watched on a screen as part of a ‘beam back’.

It appears to contradict itself by claiming the Scottish Football League in the first paragraph, but ending up at the bottom saying the Act only applies in England and Wales.
Am I missing something?No, no please don’t bring this back. It’s bad enough now missing half the game as fans make the trudge backwards and forwards to the piss stones.
I was at at the end of one of the isles at Preston close to the entrance to the concourse. At least 700 fans spent more time holding their todger than watching the game.
This is the very reason I don’t tend to drink prior to games, so leave it for the window of opportunity, 5pm to 12 midnight.
