Ahead of today's final game of the season, supporters are reminded that in the interests of safety for everyone inside the stadium, the pitch is for managers, players and match officials, while the stands are there for you to support the team...
At the end of last season, some Clubs witnessed unsavoury and unwelcome scenes with a small minority of people entering the field of play whilst other fans took to the pitch in celebratory mood.
Pitch incursions are dangerous and anyone who does encroach onto the playing surface will face strong sanctions that could include a ban from attending matches across the country and facing police action.
It is a criminal offence to enter the pitch and the real-life consequences for these actions have been felt by many with some fans receiving criminal records which can impact employment, education prospects and international travel.
It is not only yourself that can be disciplined. There could also be an impact on your family members and your Club.
Our plea to you is to keep the pitch for players and the stands for spectators and avoid any unnecessary disruption.
