Free country or so I'm told

That's a fair comment, we all want the right person or people to be charged for the offence.

Exactly Ian.

Indeed it is Fred, but taking your own comparisons here - we have speed limits and drink drive laws which are intended to stop people getting hurt or killed.
ig game I
I'm so glad there are no deaths on the road these days.

You'll not change idiots habits by changing the kick off times.

To use a further comparison, when I go out on a saturday night, most times I don't get there til gone nine due to work. I still get as drunk as I would if I was out at 7.30, as all I do is drink faster.
Changing the kick off times would just speed peoples drinking up, not cut it down.

FTR I've never had a drink before any big game I've been to in the last 10 years, and only three or four times before a Leigh game anywhere.

No 'comparisons' at all Nik we actually do have those laws in place to deter the speeders and drink drivers, nannying does not always work but certain laws deter, if the examples you chose were taken off the statute books then chaos on our roads would happen, plus comparing laws that save lives with altering a KO time to stop the boozing idiots is hardly a fair or realistic comparrison.

And there are thousands of deaths caused by speeding and drink driving every year (I know ive reported dozens of fatal road accidents caused by the two granted some time ago but things have not got much better) so unless you were being (or trying to be) sarcastic then the statement about you being 'so glad there are no deaths on the roads these days' to people who have lost loved ones by people speeding or by a Drink driver will I'm sure cheer them up no end as there appears to be no continuity in the post for the remark
What YOU do in your spare time is of no interest to me nor shoud it be and the tone of your post leaves me a little confused as it would appear you seem to condone the incident then condemn it by the final paragraph.
Anyway what other people do on a match day or any other doesn't interest me I stopped peope watching some time ago, a blanket ban on the sale of alcoholic drinks at all sporting venue is the only way to stop/alleviate drunkeness though in the incident at Warrington as no one has actually been charged with an offence how does anyone know 'drink' was a part?

Kick off at 09:00 hrs would stop/lessen trouble by drunks
