Any supporter found guilty of such behaviour which compromises the safety and enjoyment of the game for other supporters will be sanctioned inline with the Club’s Supporter Sanction Policy. Furthermore, should such issues continue, the Club shall be required by the relevant authorities to reduce the capacity within the Newmarket Road End stand.

Report It...

Safety at the Cledara 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.
