He's just hoping it's a vote winner... – at Wellesbourne, England
Here we throw. An England fan on a group WhatsApp with 200 home-and-away members reports that most of those polled are against the PM’s idea of a trial allowing fans to be able to drink alcohol in the stands. “Most don’t want that Boxpark culture of beers being thrown in the air when there is a goal, those few idiots throwing up, or having people shuffle past them every min to go get their pint and come back. The reasons for the ban in the first place (the terrace culture of decades ago) may have gone, but that doesn’t mean that lifting it will all go smoothly.”

Really? I've paid £146.50 for seats elsewhere. – at Es Migjorn Gran, Spain
This is getting out of order now. £165 to sit in the Hollies. In 2015 I paid £55 to sit in The Hollies. How is a 300% price rise justifiable in 11 years? £80 in 2018. @MichaelVaughan
is spot on here. I will be discussing it later with the BBC.
