New laws have been introduced in England and Wales to make entering a football match without a ticket a criminal offence, punishable by five years in jail and a fine of up to £1,000. The act is designed to clamp down on 'tailgating', where supporters without tickets make their way through turnstiles without them being followed by legitimate ticket-holders. It will also be illegal to knowingly attempt to gain entry using forged tickets, passes and accreditation documents or posing as a member of staff. The legislation follows a report led by Baroness Louise Casey that found that current sanctions on breaking into stadiums were weak.
