Love Football. Protect The Game
We support strong measures to help address unacceptable issues across the professional and grassroots game.
Fans are reminded that missile throwing and discriminatory chanting could lead to suspension and criminal proceedings being issued.
One individual was recently handed a three-year football banning order and costs of almost £1,000 following discriminatory chanting at the Chelsea game last season.
In October this year, another individual was given a £2,000 fine and a five-year banning order for igniting a marine flare in the South Stand.
Fans should be aware that our stewards are now equipped with body cameras.
Reporting discrimination
MFC is committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion, and creating a welcoming environment for all supporters at the Riverside, away matches, and in the wider community.
We condemn all forms of hate crime and discrimination in the strongest possible terms, and urge supporters who witness any such incidents to please report them to the club.

The text will be sent to the matchday safety team who will investigate via steward intervention as well as direct or remote observation
