Paragraph
2.20 of the Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds states:
"If
there is to be a police presence in or at the sports ground,
management should discuss with the police the division of
responsibilities and functions between the two parties;
for example, whether particular posts are to be staffed
by stewards or by police officers, and who will assume responsibility
in particular circumstances.
The outcome of these discussions should be recorded in a
statement of Intent.
It is emphasised that the statement of intent is a management
Statement and not a legal document."
Statements
of Intent are not widely used in Scotland to date and until
such times as they are the Pre-Match Meeting serves as a suitable,
and perhaps even better, means of achieving exactly the same
end.
