As the town gears up for the start of football season next weekend, organisers are getting ready for a crackdown on traditional Bring-Your-Own alcohol practices.

Because most sporting events, including the football, are run under a club license, those clubs are held responsible for anything that happens within the licensed area.

Local police, officers from the Licensing Enforcement Branch and Licensing and Gaming Commission and club representatives can monitor the licensed area at any time.

In the case of local football games, it is Andamooka Football Club that holds the license for the oval.

As of this season, the club will monitor the gate and oval to ensure that no alcohol enters the grounds.

"The whole oval is a licensed area, everyone's welcome to come to the football, but please leave your alcohol at home," Andamooka Club President Ian Tuohy said.

"It's not a choice the club has made, we are just abiding by the license conditions."

Mr Tuohy said he hoped the BYO restrictions would make sporting events a more enjoyable experience for patrons.

"It will definitely make the football events more family friendly and will encourage more responsible drinking."

The maximum penalty for breaching the conditions of a limited liquor license is $20,000, which is applicable to the license holder, or any person found to be in breach of the license conditions.

Anyone caught with their own alcohol will be asked to leave.

If caught by police, offenders are also liable to be charged with an offence, and the alcohol in their possession is liable to be seized

These conditions have been in place for some time, and are imposed by the limited licenses that have been granted to clubs in the past.
