I think most fans wouldn't cause any trouble with the beer in the stands. Although when it comes to home fans and away fans being seats apart that's where I can see some supporters throwing beer, piss etc. or might kick right off.
Why? Surely necking pints to get into the ground/seated areas is more likely to lead to drunken behaviour? If there is trouble, then CCTV stewards, and the old bill are there to address it. Why should we all be disadvantaged?
For the last game of last season, there was a "double header" featuring Notts County and Nottingham Rugby. If Notts County fans wanted to stay and watch the rugby, they could for free.
So for the first match, no drink was allowed in the stands, then when it switched to rugby - it was! Whilst there were a good number of fans who only watched the rugby or football, in many cases it was the same people watching both - with different rules being applied because of the sport being played.
