Football Stadium banned to be raised to be lifted in Ayr United Pilot

Scottish football fans will see a ban on alcohol raised in the next two games under the pilot program.

Ayr United said the maximum of 66 followers would be allowed to have five pints of beer each on Somerset Park.

Alcohol has been banned in Scottish football stadiums since 1981 and the Scottish government previously said “no plans” to remove the ban.

The South Ayrshire club has been licensed for a two -party player of the Prime Minister – against Arbroath on July 19, and forfar on July 22.

The pop-up bars will be set to a small number of fans in the main disabled section.

With a ticket costing 35 pounds, they will have four pints of beer before the match and more pint in half.

Supporters will not be able to view the pitch while in the pop-up bar, which is also not open for less than 18 years.

A spokesman for Ayr United said: “We hope the program will add to the enjoyment of match day experience for followers.”

The club added: “It is expected that these events will provide SPFL and local stakeholders comfort in the club’s ability to sell safe alcohol within the stadium.”

It was revealed in March that the Scottish government and Scotland police would consider allowing pilot projects to raise the ban on alcohol in the plots.

Some fans have been campaigning for a long time for policy change, saying that the ban on alcohol in football is not the same as rugby fans are allowed to drink alcohol at sports in Murrayfield and Hampden.

The first minister John Swinney earlier said that “he was not sorry” to remove the ban, telling the reporters: “We have a set up now.”
