Premier League clubs 'to campaign for fans to be able to drink in their seats' when supporters return to stadiums as they look to overturn ban after 25 YEARS... with claims that current rule 'encourages binge drinking'

Premier League clubs are set to campaign for fans to be able to drink in their seats when supporters return to stadiums.

The clubs are hoping to change the 25-year-old law that prevents football supporters from drinking alcohol within sight of the pitch.

As it stands, the legislation – which has been in place since 1985 – allows fans to consume alcohol 15 minutes either side of a game and away from their seats.
