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: (a) the designation of football matches at Murrayfield Stadium; (b) 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. --- Source: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ssi/2004/356 (the official version) Page: https://openlegislation.uk/sports-grounds-and-sporting-events-designation-scotland-order-2004 Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
