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.
And a man was banned from attending football matches for five years and fined £2,000 after being found guilty of lighting a marine flare at the Riverside.
Fans should be aware that our stewards are now equipped with body cameras.
