Premier League clubs now have the power to issue a blanket, division-wide ban to any fan found guilty of violent or abusive behaviour.
The league passed the new guideline following a meeting of the shareholders on Thursday. Under the new edict, a supporter banned by one club "will also be banned from every other ground in the division, the league announced on Thursday," per Paul MacInnes of The Guardian.
Those in attendance at the meeting voted unanimously to tighten the enforceable punishments in response to abusive behaviour.
The measure has been ratified on the heels of disgruntled supporters attacking the home of Manchester United shareholder Ed Woodward in January.
