Lens will have a 24hr booze ban for this game, I'd be gutted if I had a ticket for this now.
Imagine having to listening to that brass band sober!
It's a poor decision this late, but unfortunately the morons that attend football to cause violence have created the problem. They also have a big enough problem with the terrorism threat.
I think it's more to do with terrorism than the violence, but the authorities don't want to scare everyone.
I don't even know any of the dates for the games..... Will have to check them out.
As much as I disagree with these kind of bans, it seems it's only town centre drinking that's banned, they're still serving in their sanitised and no doubt overpriced fan zones but that's better than nothing. Hopefully the band's banned
The band banned? That makes them a banned band.
Booze ban you say
Surely they'll all just drink in Lille (up the road and where their train from Britain presumably arrives into)?
That nice square in Lille has a couple of big pubs in it.
