Section 14 was substituted by section 1(1) of, and paragraphs 1 and 2 of Schedule 1 to, the Football (Disorder) Act 2000 (c. 25) and has been amended by section 103(1) and (2)(a) of the Policing and Crime Act 2009 (c. 26) (“the 2009 Act”). Section 22A was inserted by section 1(2) of, and paragraphs 9 and 18 of Schedule 2 to, the Football (Disorder) Act 2000. There are amendments to section 22A that are not relevant to this Order. Section 27 of the Football Spectators Act 1989 (“the 1989 Act”) provides that it extends to England and Wales only. Section 105(1) of the 2009 Act extends sections 14J(1), 19(6) and 20(10) of the 1989 Act to Scotland and Northern Ireland. This instrument makes provision for the description of the “control period” for the Tournament.
