Ahead of this Saturday’s local derby, supporters are reminded of their responsibility to behave in-line with the Club's Ground Regulations and that pyrotechnics are prohibited at the Abbey Stadium.
Fans are asked to support their team with pride and to represent the Club to the standards which both the Club and its supporters uphold.
Any supporters breaching ground regulations will be subject to discipline in accordance with the Club's Supporter Sanction Policy.
New tougher measures and stronger sanctions relating to anti-social and criminal behaviours have been implemented at football grounds across the country this seasoan.
The FA, Premier League and EFL have introduced a new set of actions which are backed by the Football Supporters’ Association.
The new measures target activity such as entering the pitch without permission, carrying or using smoke bombs or pyrotechnics and throwing objects - as well as drug use and discriminatory behaviour.
These acts are dangerous, illegal and have severe consequences. They have no place in football, or anywhere. Click here for more information.
Safety at the Abbey Stadium remains a key priority on a Matchday and should you witness anti-social or discriminatory behaviour, please speak to a steward, report it via the Club's anonymous reporting textline - 075224 73291 - or through our online Report an Incident page.
