You appear to miss the point that he says the T&C's say 'if convicted', which he wasn't.
The Season Card T&C's don't mention murder, assault and exposing yourself but you'd expect to be banned for committing any of those inside the ground. They do make it clear you have to abide by various regulations, which you didn't do. I think most courts would take the view that the law of the land holds sway inside a football stadium, particularly those parts of it that specifically apply to football stadia. The law against drinking in view of the pitch is utterly ludicrous and potentially criminalises people like yourself but it is the law and if you're a regular attender you should be well aware of that.
Thanks for clearing that up.The T's & C's don't say "if convicted", the actually Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol etc.) Act 1985 says "if convicted" a ban may be placed. That would be a legal ban, imposed on a supporter by the courts, in the same way hooligans have nationwide stadium bans imposed. A ban issued by Manchester City FC is a different matter entirely, and would not need to be predicated upon a court issued conviction.
Had similar. We couldn't drink in full view of the glass window (Looking out onto the pitch). Must be because we were "In view of the pitch" as stated above.Its a really strange law. I was in a box once about an hour AFTER the final whistle, had a drink in my hand but took one step out to the seated bit and before my foot had even touched the floor a steward was ushering me back inside.
