Fans go head-to-head on lifting the football booze ban: Where do you stand on the issue?

We still don't when supporters will be allowed back inside football grounds amid the coronavirus pandemic but proposals to see the return of fans are certainly gathering pace. And one move being considered is lifting football's 35-year booze ban.

Allowing fans to consume alcoholic drinks in their seats is one of the measures being looked at in a bid to avoid congestion on concourses when grounds start to fill up again.

Supporters have been forbidden from drinking within sight of the pitch since 1985, a move brought in when hooliganism was rife... but there is talk it could be introduced once again as the relevant authorities look to bring back the paying public.
