Andy Burnham: Prime Minister says drinking ban in stands at football matches could be scrapped

UK Prime Minister has indicated that the ban on drinking alcohol in the stands at football matches could be scrapped. The current prohibition covers the top five tiers of English football, spanning from the Premier League down to the National League, and has been in place since 1985 when it was introduced to combat hooliganism. Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is also connected to the discussion around potentially reversing this long-standing legislation.
