Burnham brands ban on football fans drinking alcohol in stands as 'discrimination'

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has criticised the ban on football fans drinking alcohol in the stands, which has been in place since 1985. Describing the law as discrimination, the Everton fan argued it is unfair that football supporters cannot enjoy a match-day pint, unlike fans of rugby or cricket. Burnham opposes the current legislation and believes there is a strong case for the ban to be lifted to ensure consistency across different sporting events.
