They’ll never let it happen it football. We’re second class citizens as far as central government are concerned. That’ll never change. 

A few countries abroad allow it.

I think many. Spain Italy Germany. Seems to be absolutely fine and additive to the experience, from my experiences.  

Spain is different because football is less 'tribal' there and you get hardly any away followings at most games.

But if they can make it work in Italy and Germany then i don't see why it can't work in England. I'd say they probably shouldn't allow it for local derbies or high risk games though. The local police are never going to allow it at Newcastle v Sunderland for example. But if you're at Charlton v Preston, there's really not much reason people shouldn't be able to drink.

I'd honestly be surprised if they allow it anywhere though, as there's not much to suggest it will do anything other than result in a higher number of arrests across the country.

Funny enough alcohol is banned in the Bernabeu.
