No - carrying alcohol on a PSV to any sporting event is illegal and rightly so. I want an enjoyable journey not spoilt by some pissheads. As someone pointed out, it's only four hours or so. It's a sacrifice you have to make travelling there and back on the day.
Quote:PSV operators are reminded of the terms of section 1(1) of the Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol) Act 1985, as amended by the Public Order Act 1986, which prohibits the carriage of alcohol on a PSV that is being used for the principal purpose of carrying passengers for the whole or part of a
journey to or from a designated sporting event.
Quote:Intoxicating liquor, flares and similar pyrotechnics, must not be carried on coaches travelling to or from designated grounds. Operators will draw hirers attention to the requirements of the law, and
drivers shall, as far as reasonably practical, supervise boarding passengers and check that they are not obviously carrying intoxicating alcohol, flares and similar pyrotechnics.
