- Tracey Crouch supports move as part of fan-led review
- She wants pilot scheme in League Two and National League
Football’s long-standing ban on fans drinking alcohol while watching matches could be lifted if the recommendations of the former sports minister Tracey Crouch’s fan-led review are accepted.
The ban has been in place since 1985 when the game was plagued by hooliganism, but Crouch’s independent review will call for pilot schemes to allow drinking at clubs in the National League’s top division and League Two with a view to ending the restrictions across all divisions.
