EXCLUSIVEPremier League and EFL clubs warned about security companies looking to exploit their plans to step up compliance - as teams look to safeguard against terror-attack threat

Football clubs have been warned over security companies attempting to cash in ahead of an incoming law aimed at reducing the threat of terror attacks.

Our Inside Sport column reported on Sunday how the matchday experience for fans across the country could soon change following the introduction of Martyn's Law.

Named after Martyn Hett, a victim of the 2017 Manchester Arena attack which claimed the lives of 22 concert goers, legislation has now been given Royal Assent and is expected to come into force within the next two years.

Aimed at preventing further attacks, it will see any venue which admits more than 800 people deemed 'enhanced duty' and likely to be subject to more stringent security measures such as increased ticket and bag checks.
