No I have not suggested anything to the club and will not do so. I just made a suggestion in light of the events. The unavoidable fact is that alcohol does make a difference to some peoples behaviour. He (Martin) obviously cannot see past his own which whether good or not, deserved the reply he got from me. Is everyones memories so bad as to not recall that alcohol was banned from grounds because of violent events? I drink myself but personally would not miss its presence from grounds while the current mess is sorted.
All is calm on the surface, giving lie to the chaos that reigns beneath.

actually, sitting on the outside reading the posts, whilst the suggestion of a drinks ban is ill-considered, it was simply that - a suggestion. I'm not sure it...
