Schedule 3
Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order consolidates the previous Sports Grounds and Sporting Events (Designation) (Scotland) Orders with two changes.
This 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. This Order revokes the Sports Grounds and Sporting Events (Designation) (Scotland) Order 1998 and the subsequent Orders amending that Order. The two significant changes from the previous Orders are:
the designation of football matches at Murrayfield Stadium;
the restriction of the designation of Rugby matches from all International Rugby Union Matches to Senior Men’s International Rugby Union Matches.
The Order takes account of new stadia which have been built and stadia which have changed their name.
