Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol etc.) Act 1985
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
2 Offences in connection with alcohol, containers etc. at sports grounds.
(1) A person who has alcohol or an article to which this section applies in his possession— (a) at any time during the period of a designated sporting event when he is in any area of a designated sports ground from which the event may be directly viewed, or (b) while entering or trying to enter a designated sports ground at any time during the period of a designated sporting event at that ground, is guilty of an offence. (1A) Subsection (1)( a ) above has effect subject to section 5A(1) of this Act. (2) A person who is drunk in a designated sports ground at any time during the period of a designated sporting event at that ground or is drunk while entering or trying to enter such a ground at any time during the period of a designated sporting event at that ground is guilty of an offence. (3) This section applies to any article capable of causing injury to a person struck by it, being— (a) a bottle, can or other portable container (including such an article when crushed or broken) which— (i) is for holding any drink, and (ii) is of a kind which, when empty, is normally discarded or returned to, or left to be recovered by, the supplier, or (b) part of an article falling within paragraph (a) above; but does not apply to anything that is for holding any medicinal product (within the meaning of the Medicines Act 1968) or any veterinary medicinal product (within the meaning of the Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2006).

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
