Televised Football Matches (EDM459)

Televised Football Matches

EDM number 459 in 1998-99, proposed by Bob Russell on 22/03/1999.

That this House deplores the growing interference by commercial television in the way football is organised; and notes that the referee at the televised game between Colchester United and Manchester City on Saturday 20th March had to delay the kick-off until a television official gave him the signal to start.

This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs.
