Love Football. Protect The Game.

Every football fan should feel safe when watching their team. But last season football saw a minority of supporters ruining the game for others. That’s why Fisher Football Club is supporting strong measures across football to tackle antisocial and criminal behaviours within football grounds.
These include entering the pitch without permission, carrying or using smoke bombs or pyros and throwing objects onto the pitch, as well as discriminatory behaviour and taking drugs. All of these are illegal, dangerous and have no place in our game. For everyone’s safety, clubs will report anyone carrying out these offences to the police, which can result in a permanent criminal record. These measures could also now apply to the parents or guardians of children involved in these activities.
From the start of the 2022/23 season, anyone who enters the pitch and those carrying or using
smoke bombs and pyros will now automatically be banned by their club. These measures reflect the seriousness of the risks to fans and staff – pyros can burn at 2000 degrees Celsius and cause life-changing injuries, while entering the pitch endangers players, managers and match officials – it is impossible for anyone to tell the difference between a celebrating fan and a violent attacker.
The football authorities are working with clubs and the Football Supporters’ Association to make sure everyone feels safe on matchdays. We ask all fans to come together to show that those
who commit these illegal acts do not represent the majority of supporters.
