It's always been a source of puzzlement to me that supporters of different sides in a contest cannot coexist and enjoy a drink watching the game.

Football hooliganism is not really about football - that is simply a convenient peg on which to hang the behaviour.
It's more to do with tribalism, and a sense of 'belonging' for a disenfranchised section of young men who do not experience normal family bonds fostering self-respect and self-confidence, so they find it outside, in the gang structure of hooliganism.
It's no coincidence that organised football louts like to give themselves names - 'The Inter-City Firm', 'The Naughty Forty@ etc., it increases their sense of simultaneously bonding with each other, and excluding wider society.
So because football hooliganism is based on working-class tribalism, it is unlikely to follow its rugby counterpart into peaceful support as the norm right across all sectors of the supporting community.

Not in your seat. You can in the concourse. Your link/news item is about Scotland where alcohol is forbidden from the ground.
The difference between Football and Rugby is obvious.
Rugby is a load of snobs watching thugs fight each other.
Football is a load of thugs watching millionaires have a hissy fit.

I'm sure it's not illegal.
You can buy mini bottles of wine in the concourse around the ground. And you can buy fizzy drinks.
If you take the fizzy drink carton home and wash it, you can bring it to the next game to transfer your wine into.
Hypothetically, of course.
It will be just my luck that one of the stewards from our stadium is an ABer, lol.
