The NSW government is looking at banning anyone who is violent or abusive towards umpires or volunteers from all sporting venues in the state after a referee was bashed by a spectator last month.
Violent or abusive behaviour could result in lifetime bans from all sporting venues and clubs may face sanctions for allowing suspended fans to participate as part of the discussed changes.
