Andy Burnham loves returning Britain to the early 80s so much he wants to bring back football hooliganism

Considering people can drink as much as the like at the football now already, at the bars inside the grounds, this tweet is stunningly ignorant. But I am guessing you have never A) Been near a game. B) Had no idea there are bars inside every stadium.

Football is far more family oriented these days. There will obviously be some trouble but hopefully the vast majority football fans have moved on, I hope!!

You are welcome to come down to Hampton & Richmond FC sometime where you will be able to enjoy a nice pint in the stands. I suspect you are more of a Dulwich Hamlet vibe though.馃槈

Do City AM have any journalists these days or just opinion piece writers to spout shite? It鈥檚 a different experience now. More family, seating, corporate. A very dumb, ignorant take.

Bit naive to not know how much cocaine is consumed at football.

Yeah, because supporters don鈥檛 already drink before and at half time at matches, with little issue.

This is the dumbest take of the lot on this topic, which is quite an achievement given some of the other contenders

Should we ban beer at rugby and Pimms at Wimbledon as well or is only the working class that should be penalised for the sport that they watch?
