NEWCASTLE UNITED SUPPORTERS SAVE OUR SEATS CAMPAIGN

Early day motion 559, tabled 23 March 2000 by Derek Wyatt (Labour). Signed by 24 members.

That this House notes the actions of Newcastle United Football Club in its forced relocation of 4,000 loyal and longstanding fans to accommodate extra corporate seating in the redeveloped stadium; recalls that the fans were sold these specific seats in 1994 for 10 years to create major revenue at a time when the club was in need of financial assistance; welcomes the judge's view that there was an alternative solution in the new upper tiers; and urges the Government to implement the recommendation of the Football Task Force.

Signatures by party: Labour 22, Labour/Co-operative 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
