Iv done every type from coaches from the club (they stipulate no drinking) to private parties to team coaches. All of the latter have had alcohol on..interaction with the police and nothing said...even took a group of cops to grand final (flowergate one) and they was all drinking.

Football coaches are stopped..checked and turned around if needed. But rugby is a completley different type of mentality..more relaxed..family friendly.

Yes i know what it states as the law,but nothing gets done.

A designated match or ground is where the team is a member of the football association not who owns the ground hence the different rules for Hull City and Hull fc at same ground.
Rugby League is not a designated sport.
