Debate
Football Governance Bill [HL]Contribution
People who live in Sweden should not be deciding whether Leeds football club moves to somewhere such as Harrogate, Huddersfield or Bradford—or other equally distressing possibilities, at least in theory—because it is set in Leeds. But if they want to have a say on other matters and the club wants to consult on those, there is more potential flexibility. The Bill can achieve that, but we do not want to miss the point of how local economies are impacted by this sport and its importance. The regulator certainly has to take that into consideration.
