In addition to the intention to expand the scope of fan consultation, my noble friend Lord Mann’s amendment seeks to add fan approval to both the sale of the home ground and the change of a club’s name. Regarding changes to the ownership of the home ground, potential adverse outcomes are entirely financial and do not impact the heritage of the club. If the change of the financial arrangements relating to the home ground were to lead to relocation then heritage would rightfully be considered and fan consultation would be required, as per Clause 48.
