It’s not great PR is it.Most large companies try to mitigate litigation surely? I can't see a club coming out of a lawsuit where they failed duty of care very well.
The last thing a club wants is for their own fan/s to take them to court, to win the case, and to open a floodgate of claims. The club would rather pay a fan off, except liability in private, along with the fan signing an NDA agreement, and the club filing the incident away quietly.
