Burnham says ban on alcohol for football fans in stands is 'discrimination'

Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has labelled the longstanding ban on alcohol consumption for football fans in stadium stands as 'discrimination.' The ban has been in place since 1985, and the UK Prime Minister has indicated opposition to the law, suggesting there is a case for its removal. The debate over lifting the prohibition on in-seat drinking at football grounds has reignited amid calls for reform.
