I can slice a banana without opening the skin

but that's about it ha ha

As I'm not made of money I won't be drinking in the ground.

No alcohol allowed to your seats guys

iirc that was the rule at the JJB when it first opened?

thaey relaxed it after a few years didnt they?

This.

You're not allowed to take alcoholic drinks anywhere you can see the pitch.

That said, we managed to sneak a load to our seats last year with a little cunning. We were sat high enough to be shrouded in cloud, I think that helped.

You could argue that you cant actually see the pitch from there

Thats why they probably let you off

No the alcohol laws are set by act of parliament, Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol etc) Act 1985 (as amended), controls the sale of alcohol at football matches. It is relaxed at some grounds for rugby but not everyone.

Each sport has different alcohol laws in conjunction with the above though and the governing bodies from some sports have extra laws such as FIFA who do not allow alcohol to be sold at any venue for any matches governed by them. The police also have the power to stop the sale of alcohol at any event they see fit or they just wont police it and then the event cant go ahead. If the RFL and the police agreed that alcohol could be consumed on Saturday in view of the pitch then theres nothing in the laws stopping that. My original post wasnt worded very well
