EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Football Spectators (Prescription) Order 2004 to amend the definition of association football match within the regulated football match provisions of Part II of the Football Spectators Act 1989.
The Order substitutes a reference to the Scottish Professional Football League for the Scottish Football League and the Scottish Premier League, following the merger of the two latter leagues to form one body. The Order also clarifies that an association football match is a regulated football match where the match involves clubs whose home grounds are outside England or Wales but they are playing within England or Wales. Finally, the Order deletes a historic reference to matches played as part of the 2012 Olympics.
