A supporter watches football on TV while holding a beer bottleAcademic survey on alcohol and football

The Football Supporters’ Federation has forwarded us the following text from a group of academics who are researching the links between alcohol and football:

Are you a football fan who regularly attends matches or watches the game on TV?

Would you be willing to take part in a survey on the importance and role of alcohol for football fans in Scotland and England?

Researchers from the universities of Stirling, Loughborough and Edinburgh are running a research project on this issue.

The survey will ask fans some questions about their views and experiences of alcohol consumption and on current regulations on alcohol in and around football.

Once you complete the survey, you will be given the option to be entered into a prize draw for £50 worth of high street vouchers.

This project has been ethically approved through the University of Stirling General University Ethics Panel.

If you are interested, you can take the survey online.
