b
the fan engagement threshold requirement (see paragraph 4 of Schedule 4).

Before attaching or varying a discretionary licence condition to which this section applies, the IFR must give the club a notice that—

notifies the club about the proposed condition or variation (including the threshold requirement to which the condition or variation relates),
b
invites the club to make representations about the proposed condition or variation, and
c
specifies the means by which, and the period within which, such representations must be made,
and must have regard to any representations which are duly made.

The period specified in the notice for making representations must be a period of not less than 14 days beginning with the day on which the notice is given to the club.
4
This section does not apply where—
a
a club applies for a variation under section 21(7), or
b
the IFR considers that compliance with this section would jeopardise, or risk jeopardising, the IFR’s ability to advance one or more of its objectives.
