The club can confirm that the following clarification and correction appeared in today’s Daily Mail (4 October 2024).

‘An article in Saturday’s paper said that Brighton & Hove Albion FC owner Tony Bloom invited Sir Keir Starmer to a game against Arsenal on April 6, and suggested this was to lobby him about the forthcoming Football Governance Bill.

‘In fact, the PM’s invitation came from a third party as part of a standard Premier League arrangement with visiting teams and Brighton have confirmed, and we accept, that he was not lobbied by Mr Bloom or the club.

‘We apologise for the error and for any distress caused and have agreed to make a donation to the Brighton & Hove Albion Foundation.’

We acknowledge the apology and appreciate the correction and significant donation. The Mail has also paid the club’s legal costs.
