Ayr United will permit a small number of fans to consume alcohol during two upcoming home matches under a pilot initiative. Specifically, 66 supporters will be allowed to have up to five pints at Somerset Park. This marks a significant change in policy as alcohol has been banned in Scottish football stadiums since 1981. The initiative aims to demonstrate that alcohol can be sold safely in stadiums and to enhance the matchday experience. The Scottish government has previously shown resistance to lifting the ban, citing existing arrangements that they believe work well.
