Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order directs the Football Licensing Authority to include in any licence to admit spectators to the football grounds listed in Schedule 1 a condition imposing requirements specified in Schedule 2 as respects the seating of spectators at designated football matches at those premises. “Designated football matches” are those association football matches designated by the Secretary of State, under powers conferred by section 1(2) of the Football Spectators Act 1989, in the Football Spectators (Designation of Football Matches in England and Wales) Order 1993 (S.I. 1993/1691) and they include all association football matches played at the premises listed in Schedule 1 to this Order.

The Football Licensing Authority is already required to include a condition imposing seating requirements in licences granted in respect of the premises listed in Schedule 1 to the Football Spectators (Seating) Order 1994 (S.I. 1994/1666), the Football Spectators (Seating) Order 1995 (S.I. 1995/1706) and the Football Spectators (Seating) Order 1996 (S.I. 1996/1706).
