Zero Tolerance To Anti-Social Behaviour
We're reminding supporters of our zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of anti-social behaviour at the Riverside.
Three individuals have been given lifetime bans for pitch incursions this season, while another was banned for use of dangerous pyrotechnics at our away match at Blackpool.
There will also be serious consequences for use of illegal drugs, foul or discriminatory language and other abusive behaviour at the Riverside Stadium.
