Fans attending England vs Wales will face 24-hour alcohol ban
Posted Wednesday, May 25, 2016 by dreamteamfc.com
England and Wales fans will not be able to drink in Lens town centre around the time of their Euro 2016 clash after a 24-hour ban against alcohol was enforced.
Security officers hope this restriction will help fight drunken hooliganism as they fear the clash between the home nations could turn ugly between supporters.
Police will also search fans on arrival to check they are not carrying booze.
Not only have they put this ban in place, but the Police will also be monitoring supporters on social media.
People who are seen misbehaving on smartphones could be in line for numerous banning orders when they return to the UK.
And another thing, if you haven't got a ticket for the fixture, you are urged to stay clear from Lens.
Since the terrorism attacks in Paris, France have drastically improved their security.
This has seen nearly 2,000 football fans who have been struck with football banning orders in the past to surrender their passports ahead of the tournament.
Expect a no nonsense approach from security officers in France!
