Matt Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 First at Cambridge United (! - only eight home and eight away arrests all season), then rolled out to FL and PL teams. http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/football-fans-to-be-breathalysed-before-matches/ar-BBj2Q8X Quote
24hoursfromtulsehill Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Kinnell. Twice the drink-drive limit and you're not coming in. OASIS will be locked out everywhere we go - even before you take into account the Tizer-into-wine half-time miracle. Quote
Lags Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 The powers that be seem hell bent on driving the paying punters away. twice the drink drive limit is nowt Quote
Diego_Sideburns Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 It won't apply at rugby and cricket, where you are welcome to get rat-arsed inside the ground. Quote
Diego_Sideburns Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 First at Cambridge United ... How appropriate on the day The Brewers are there. I was wondering what could possibly spoil the Oldham visitors' day out in Burton next season.... and then this! Quote
HarryBosch Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 I hope this is nipped in the bud by May 21st. Difficult to commit to a £350 season ticket when I might not get in often Quote
Diego_Sideburns Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Is it April 1st? It now goes April 1st, May 2nd. June 3rd and so on. Quote
24hoursfromtulsehill Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 The powers that be seem hell bent on driving the paying punters away. twice the drink drive limit is nowt I'm no expert and always err on the side of caution, but isn't that the equivalent of four Stella or six pissy Carlings? Mind you...it'll be okay as long as they test you going through the turnstile rather than through the door of the fans bar. Quote
Matt Posted May 2, 2015 Author Posted May 2, 2015 It won't apply at rugby and cricket, where you are welcome to get rat-arsed inside the ground. ...or anything lower than step two (tier 6) on the league system I presume. Quote
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Wonder how much further they can demonise most football fans. Quote
24hoursfromtulsehill Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Wonder how much further they can demonise most football fans. It's obviously still currency that footie fans are irresponsible drunks while rugby and cricket fans - sometimes the very same people - are fine. Quote
disjointed Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 So its a train to the away game, a rake of ale pre match, refused entry, back to the boozer, my liver will be in bits. Quote

Mind you...it'll be okay as long as they test you going through the turnstile rather than through the door of the fans bar.That's about right, there are a few handy websites that allow you to guesstimate your microgrammes of alcohol per 100ml of breath, but this involves doing some converting of units, so if you can do it you will probably be able to pass. It will also depend on when you started drinking etc. They aren't going to test everyone, plus technically the law is already in place to prevent those who are drunk to be refused entry, what this means is that they've put a numerical value on drunk and given stewards and the like the means to test it.

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Like I said....nowt!! Four green lagers on the train is standard OASIS behaviour. Then you've got whatever you can ram down your throat from midday to 3.05 in the pub. Might be seeing a lot of some crap town centres next season. OASIS: taking the cathedral (or parish church) or shopping centre since 2015-16. Quote

BP1960 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) But does having a few drinks equate to becoming disorderly? If they are disorderly they can be dealt with anyway as it is by the stewards, drunk or not. Edited May 2, 2015 by BP1960 Quote
ghostofcecere Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 3400 Latics at Rochdale, 3000 roaming around Rochdale town centre getting even more pissed because they can't get in the ground. The Police are gonna love that! Quote

The Police are gonna love that!It's a recipe for chaos this - Rochdale away will be all ticket. Would you risk buying one if this comes in? I wouldn't Clubs like us are going to suffer massively. Why doesn't all this EU law we hear so much about come into play with football and alcohol? Hopefully this can be the straw that broke the camels back and the whole thing can be challenged and we can be treated like every other sports fan... Edited May 2, 2015 by HarryBosch Quote
BP1960 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 What next, breathalysing people drinking watching football on big screen TVs in pubs? Quote
NewBlue Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) I won't be breathalysed before entering a football ground. I won't be demonised/criminalised like that. Not a chance I'll even contemplate legitimising this by allowing them to do it to me. Edited May 2, 2015 by NewBlue Quote
