EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order consolidates, with amendments, the previous Sports Grounds and Sporting Events (Designation) (Scotland) Orders.
The Order designates the sports grounds, the classes of sporting events played at those grounds and the classes of sporting events outside Great Britain for the purposes of Part II of the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995 (sporting events: control of alcohol etc.). This Order revokes the Sports Grounds and Sporting Events (Designation) (Scotland) Order 2004 and the subsequent Orders amending that Order.
The significant changes from the previous Order are the designation of football matches at three new grounds, namely—
(a) the Haughs, Turriff;
(b) North Lodge Park, Pitmedden; and
(c) Seafield Park, Grantown-on-Spey.
These additions reflect changes to football clubs which are members of the Scottish Highland Football League and the location of association football matches in that league.
The Order also makes changes to the classes of sporting events to update the names of the relevant football leagues and football competitions.
