The prime minister said the decades-old law preventing fans from drinking alcohol within sight of the pitch should be reconsidered.

The prime minister says the 1985 law barring fans from drinking alcohol in view of the pitch amounts to discrimination against football supporters.

The prime minister says the measure is discriminatory when fans of other sports face no similar restriction.
