Football Fans, finances and heritage to have new protections

The king's speech yesterday saw a return for the football governance bill, which the previous government could not pass before the election.

Labour sources said the new bill would provide more safeguarding of club heritage and bring in rules on responsible owners.

There will be an independent football regulator and rules to ensure there can be no future for any proposals similar to the disastrous European Super League in 2021.

A government briefing document suggests there will be new statutory protections for club names and a requirement for clubs to seek the regulator's approval for a stadium sale or relocation.

Test century number 33 was in the bag and with it, a couple of slices of history too.
