The Labour Party is reaching out to football supporters in its leaked manifesto which includes measures to give fans a greater say in how their clubs are run.

The party's official manifesto, ahead of the General Election on June 8, is not due to be signed off until today but a draft copy was leaked to the media.

Alongside pledges on health, education and transport, it includes specific pledges relating to the beautiful game.

A Labour government would legislate to allow accredited supporters' trusts to appoint and remove at least two club directors and purchase shares when clubs change hands, it says.

The draft adds: "Sport must be run in the interests of those who participate in it and love it, not just for a privileged few."

Wider fan participation in sports governance will also be reviewed.

The party would ensure the Premier League "delivers on its promise to invest 5% of its television rights income into the grassroots to help the next generation of players and coaches, and improve facilities and pitches".

The document adds: "The Premier League has so far failed to do so, despite lucrative new domestic and international TV deals."

A wider sports policy which could benefit football supporters is on ticketing.

The draft says: "The broken ticketing market in the UK means tickets sell out instantly and are put up at vastly inflated prices on ticket tout websites.

"Labour will enforce anti-bots legislation and implement the recommendations of the Waterson review to ensure fairness for fans."

The Waterson review, published last year, recommended that secondary ticketing websites should be taken to court if they do not comply with rules introduced in 2015 to protect consumers.

The final manifesto sports pledge says Labour will work with interested cities to back a UK bid to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games, after it was announced that Durban in South Africa will no longer host the event.

The official manifesto is expected to be published next week and the manifestos for all the major parties are expected by mid-May.
