Accepted
Paragraph: 35
Sporting bodies' financial contributions to fan safety outside stadiums remain inadequate.
Conclusion
We echo calls for sporting bodies to increase their contribution to the safety of fans outside of the stadium. While direct responsibility, in line with the recommendations of the Casey Review, would require significant changes in policing and event management, increased financial contributions would not. Clubs that benefit from matchday attendance and broadcasting rights should be prepared to contribute more fairly to the costs associated with them.
