Letters respond to reports that the UK prime minister may lift restrictions on drinking in football stands, with one academic arguing the current law increases pre-match binge drinking.
Longtime advocate Andy Burnham's push to repeal the alcohol ban at football grounds raises the question of whether supporters actually want the change.
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.
