  • Posts being shared on Facebook about a trial permitting fans to drink alcohol in the stands during Championship matches are missing important context—that this is only for some women’s games. One post that has been liked over 1,600 times says: “Great to hear that Bristol City are among multiple other football clubs who will take part in a trial permitting fans to drink alcohol in the stands while watching Championship matches.” Other posts on fan pages with similar wording have comments from people on whether they are for or against the plans with references to men’s football teams. In one post, the wording specifies that: “Bristol City and multiple other clubs will take part in a trial permitting fans to drink alcohol in the stands while watching Sky Bet Championship matches…” The Sky Bet Championship, also known as the English Football League Championship, is the second tier in men’s football in England. But what the posts don’t make clear is that the trial is only for certain matches in the second tier of the women’s game—the Barclays Women’s Championship. Consuming alcohol in view of the pitch continues to be banned in the higher-level matches of the men’s game in England, Scotland and Wales. The trial involves four Women's Championship clubs—Bristol City, Southampton, Birmingham and Newcastle, at selected games at Ashton Gate, St Andrew's, Kingston Park and St Mary's. Under the Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol etc.) Act 1985, drinking alcohol while watching football matches, or “in view of the playing area” is banned in the higher levels of the men’s game in England, Scotland and Wales. The act was introduced to tackle hooliganism within the sport and “violent and disorderly behaviour” in football grounds. However, in England the ban only covers the top five men's divisions, which include the Championship, and not the women’s game—although it has been adopted across the top women’s leagues. Drinking alcohol in the stands was trialled during Bristol City's match against London City Lionesses and Southampton versus Sunderland, on 19 January, and Birmingham against Bristol City, and Newcastle against Portsmouth on 26 January. Before sharing information you see online, it’s important to consider whether it comes from a trusted and verifiable source.
