Today, Labour is introducing the Football Governance Bill which will launch new measures to protect football clubs and support fans.
By taking on rogue owners, helping put clubs on a sound financial footing, and putting fans back at the heart of the game; Labour is protecting the game and its heritage at every level.
We know how valuable football clubs are to fans, communities and local economies. We want to secure their long-term future and avoid financial sustainability issues many clubs have suffered from over recent years at every level of the pyramid.
With the work we have done over recent years to secure Boundary Park as an asset of community value and give it security in the long-term with the ground sharing deal between Oldham Athletic and Oldham RLFC, Labour is delivering at every level of government on a shared priority: to safeguard heritage, community venues and local sports institutions through community ownership and robust regulatory frameworks.
