Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 December 2024

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

If the regulator were ever to presume to dictate the composition of season ticket holders, even indirectly, that would be a terrible precedent. Where does it end? Will clubs be told whom they can and cannot allow into their grounds, based on diversity metrics? That would not promote inclusion; it would undermine trust, alienate fans and drive a wedge between clubs and their most loyal supporters.
