Good thread. How are rugby fans allowed to drink themselves into a pack of frenzied madmen after an international?? Its just called "hi spirits" by the authorites and sent home... with a football fan, it is an arrest, court monday morning, banning order and a 4 figure fine. Sins of the fathers syndrome.. Agreed. The consequences for fans of football are severe. Saying that, South Wales Police recently have been very critical of the behavior of some rugby fans before and after internationals and there was talk of a 'rugby banning order.' I do wonder how much of this played a part in the Principality Stadium introducing the 'dry zones.' |

The WPL is a proscribed league under the alcohol at football ground regulations along with the Premier League and EFL in England due to European competitions. The FAW prevented drinking alcohol at all grounds during matches, in my opinion quite wrongly, it could not be enforced at clubs like Merthyr playing in English competitions. Due to a rule change made at the last FAW AGM drinking at clubs with a licenced premises is now allowed in designated areas but not at pitchside. Thanks for that. Very interesting. Is there anything in the public domain regarding the FAW AGM decision? I am also assuming the designated areas are not in 'direct view' of the playing area during the game, or that would be against the law? |

The regulations never applied to football below EFL level in England, hence the Merthyr scenario, therefore should not have applied below WPL level in Wales. Not sure if the rule changes are yet available in public domain they should be as it was definitely passed. Drinking can take place in view of the pitch but in fenced off areas without direct access to the terraces. As I said previously, this applies only to clubs with licenced premises below WPL level. The ban is still in place there.

So Merthyr Town and their league are exempt. I get you, thanks for that, that is very interesting. I will keep an eye out for anything made public aboutt he FAW AGM. |

For those in Gwent this consumption includes your routine Saturday afternoon drinking of Methylated Spirits, though it doesn’t include alcohol consumed in activities that occur in club car parks before during and after games.
