BYOB could be the battle cry at the Euros if Ireland finishes third in their group next month.
Authorities in France have annoyed a lot of Welsh and England football fans this afternoon with an announcement about their group clash on 16 June.
Fears of trouble between rivals sets of fans in the small French city have led the police to ask for a complete 24 alcohol ban in the city for the duration of any games.

Now it’s not a complete ban on any fans drinking at all, bit just means that you will have to be onside an official fanzone before you can indulge in any alcohol.
There are four group games schedule for the city, with the Wales-England clash seen as the match with the most potential for trouble.
However, Irish fans may also be affected by the alcohol ban as if we finish third in our group.
There is one second-round game involving the winner of Group D and the third-place team in group B, E or F.
Which could very well be us if things go half well in our group, which we all hope they do.
Supporters without tickets have been strongly encouraged to stay away, according to the Daily Telegraph.
Fans have been warned that anyone coming into the city will be searched, so Irish fans hoping for a boozy session, have been warned.
