Uefa 10 Point Plan:
The plan sets out a
number of measures that clubs can take to combat
the problem of racism:
1.
Issue a statement saying the club will not tolerate
racism, spelling out the action it will take
against those engaged in racist chanting. The
statement should be printed in all match programmes
and displayed permanently and prominently around
the ground.
2. Make public address announcements
condemning racist chanting at matches.
3. Make it a condition for
season-ticket holders that they do not take
part in racist abuse.
4. Take action to prevent the
sale of racist literature inside and around
the ground.
5. Take disciplinary action
against players who engage in racial abuse.
6. Contact other clubs to make
sure they understand the club’s policy
on racism.
7. Encourage a common strategy
between stewards and police for dealing with
racist abuse.
8. Remove all racist graffiti
from the ground as a matter of urgency.
9. Adopt an equal opportunities'
policy in relation to employment and service
provision.
10. Work with all other groups
and agencies, such as the players union, supporters,
schools, voluntary organisations, youth clubs,
sponsors, local authorities, local businesses
and police, to develop pro-active programmes
and make progress to raise awareness of campaigning
to eliminate racial abuse and discrimination.
Smoking
Ban:
From
30th April 2007 Northern Ireland's smoke-free
legislation will come into effect. This means
that smoking will no longer be permitted in
enclosed public places and work places right
across Northern Ireland.
The
intention of the new law is to save lives and
prevent disease caused by passive smoking. Passive
smoke meaning the breathing in of other people's
tobacco smoke which is also known as second-hand
smoke or Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS).
Smoking
will no longer be allowed in any workplace or
public place which is 'wholly or substantially
enclosed'. In simple terms this means a public
place, including workplace, which has a roof
and walls on at least 50% of its perimeter.
Such
is the comprehensive nature of the legislation
that very few places are exempt.
The
legislation introduces new criminal offences
for failing to comply with the law, which will
be enforced by the Environmental Health Department.
Environmental Health also has a role in ensuring
that businesses and individuals have the information
and advice they require to comply with the law.
Coleraine
Football Club will enforce this ban from 30th
April 2007. Further announcements will be made
concerning this ban at the Showgrounds on forthcoming
matchdays and in the club programme.
