put forward for consultation on August 30 by senior traffic commissioner Richard TurfittIt states: “The majority of football fans are law abiding and do not intend to cause disturbances whilst travelling to or from games, but a small minority can be disruptive and impact the enjoyment of others.
Buses must arrive at the venue no earlier than two hours before and not later than one hour before the scheduled start of the game, unless otherwise directed by police. “Not only does this propose stricter monitoring of the average football fan, it would have a significant detrimental impact on small businesses and football clubs.
The Scottish Football Association, Scottish Professional Football League and Scottish Women’s Premier League all issued a joint statement on Wednesay criticising the “heavy-handed” proposals.
