[Football] Police call for cocaine users to be banned from football after Euros mayhem

[Neville's Breakfast]

‘ Police want the power to ban football fans who take cocaine at matches, over concerns that the drug could be driving disorder and violence.

Some England supporters were filmed openly snorting white powder at Wembley and elsewhere in London during the Euro 2020 final, which saw large numbers of ticketless people force their way into the stadium.’

I’ve never seen this at the Albion. Have seen a few people on NSC boasting about it though.

Ban drunks as well.

 

[portslade seagull]

Blimey that would be an instant 10% reduction in most stadiums on matchdays. The marching powder keeps them going

Sherlock Holmes must have been on the case to work this one out.

 

[Hampster Gull]

I almost died of nicotine poisoning when going for a slash at Wembley, suggest they sort that too

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Ban drunks as well.

They already can:

‘ The law allows bans to be imposed if people have been convicted of specific offences and the move would prevent violence or disorder.

Relevant offences include the “possession of alcohol or being drunk while entering/trying to enter a ground”, but there is no equivalent provision for drugs.’

I might be missing the point by a mile, but isn't coke sort of, kinda, legally banned already?

Surely all the old bill have to do is win the war on drugs. Any day now I'm told.

I don’t think a lot of the older generation realise just how common cocaine is nowadays. I can safely say that it’s rampant in youth culture and that includes the north stand at Brighton games. Ridiculously easy to get hold of now and completely rampant in a lot of situations.

I think after tests in the 1901 restrooms among other things Cocaine was found on some of cubicles, can’t remember when maybe a couple of years ago!

Isn't cocaine a category A drug and the Police have wide powers to arrest those in possession. sharing or dealing without a need to link to a football banning oder.

But why no banning order for music festivals or gigs.

Just smacks of bandwagon after Johnson said he wants football banning orders for racists.

Never seen it at the Albion? Palace away some boozer in Thornton Heath was full of Albion snorting Colombian of any flat dry surface available

Ooh! Those naughty cleaners from Ajax.

Seen it far too often at away games. On trains, in queues, off the seats. Even saw a few fans at Leeds away in the Championship where they were doing it off their keys at the back of the stand at Elland Road. Never done it myself but seems rife with football fans now.

You’re not going to get a flat dry surface at Selhurst Park.

Wasn’t there a crackdown on alleged cocaine use in 1901 a few years ago or did I imagine that?

I'm presuming this will not apply to corporate hospitality areas.

Seriously? I must be naive on drugs then. I would have have put it nearer 1 in 500.

Music festivals are about the one place you won’t see Cocaine, tbf

1 in 10 would be naive in some instances.
