This is ridiculous. They sell alcohol at most football grounds in the concourse bars but want to breathalyse you before you go into the ground, this is becoming more and more like 1984, Orwell was right. Instead of getting pissed before they go to the ground they will get to the ground early and get pissed inside the ground.

Football is not a working class game anymore and fans are treated like criminals and hooligans. It's the minority which are the hooligans not the majority. You can't shout out at football anymore you can't stand, you can't chant or sing.

Totally pointless exercise!!! There are so few arrests due to drunkenness at football grounds these days, I cannot see what "problem" this is trying to solve!!! The one plus is that clubs may get more money spent in the ground rather than in the surrounding pubs!!
