Maybe I'm being cynical but, the sport of the two chosen to be denied a pint brings questions of classism to mind.

Me too Fluffgar, me too
That rugby gets pints but football doesn't is frankly undefendable
OK I'll defend it.
I rest my case
Whilst a good point. I'll point to the old firm instead
Oh for sure. Rangers v Celtics is probably 99% of the football violence that happens I'm sure, and they don't need beers to get it on.
The difference would be an increase in drunken fights for the rest of the league.
That's a pretty poor case.
That's just, like, your opinion man....
Ha, fair enough.
If the start serving White Russians at East End, I'll be happy with that 😁
Just don't piss on the rug
It's not just Ayr United, there are a range of clubs taking part in the trial, according to this article in the Record from a month ago: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/ayrshire/ayr-united-set-open-pop-35381813
Ayr Utd, St Mirren, Dunfermline, Arbroath, Stirling, Partick Thistle, Ross County and Queen of the South
As a Dunfermline fan myself, I really hope so - it's about time football fans stopped being treated like second class citizens.
