Carisbrook Disorder
Sir, Whether voluntary drunkenness be regarded as a personal fault (vide “Football Fan”) or as a symptom of a social ill (too literal an interpretation of liquor advertisements featuring footballers), the main appeal of the original writer was to Rugby union administrators. Embankment patrons on grounds other than Carisbrook can testify to the immoderate drinkers who become a social nuisance. How much nicer for all of us if the Rugby union promised safe storage for cartons of beer and of flagons at the point of entry to the grounds! The youngsters who consider it manly or necessary to take large amounts of liquor to football matches would observe more of the game, have a quantity of their dependency for celebration or consolation purposes on leaving the ground, and allow the majority of paying guests of the Rugby union maximum pleasure. Could this be arranged for Lancaster Park on Saturday next?—Yours, etc., PHILLIP RAMSAY. July 21, 1966.
