Club Statement | Newport County vs. Peterborough United

club statement

Newport County is disappointed to report that the club is now facing disciplinary action and a potential fine from the FA after another object was thrown onto the field of play during the cup tie with Peterborough on Saturday afternoon.

 

It is the second consecutive game that an object has been thrown from the terracing behind the dug-out into the technical area. This is despite a public warning in the week that future incidents could lead to a fine for the club, plus stadium bans and potential prosecution for individuals.

 

The club is currently reviewing CCTV footage and details of any individual seen throwing an object will be forwarded to the Police for potential prosecution and receive an immediate stadium ban.

 

The club will also consider closing the terrace immediately behind the dug-out for future games, as it has done in the past.

 

We remind supporters once again that this behaviour is completely unacceptable, dangerous, and we will maintain our zero-tolerance policy going forward.
