This Order directs the Sports Grounds Safety Authority to include an “all-seater” condition in any licence granted to admit spectators to Goldsands Stadium, which is the home ground of AFC Bournemouth Limited. This condition requires that only seated accommodation shall be provided for spectators at designated football matches, and spectators shall only be admitted to watch a designated football match from seated accommodation. Those requirements are specified in Schedule 2. “Designated football matches” includes any association football match played at Goldsands Stadium as the registered home ground of AFC Bournemouth Limited.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this Order.
1989 c. 37; section 1(6A) defines “the licensing authority” as meaning the Sports Grounds Safety Authority. Section 1(6A) was inserted by paragraph 7(1) of Schedule 2 to the Sports Grounds Safety Authority Act 2011 (c. 6).
The Sports Grounds Safety Authority was previously called the Football Licensing Authority, and is established by section 8, and schedule 2 to, the Football Spectators Act 1989. It was renamed the Sports Grounds Safety Authority under section 1(1) of the Sports Grounds Safety Authority Act 2011.
“Licence to admit spectators” is defined in section 1(7) of the Football Spectators Act 1989.
See section 1(2) of the Football Spectators Act 1989 and the Football Spectators (Designation of Football Matches in England and Wales) Order 2000 (S.I. 2000/3331).
