Swindon Town fans that use pyrotechnics could face ban, club warn
Swindon Town Football Club has warned its fans that anyone "involved in any incident involving dangerous objects will face a lengthy banning period from the County Ground", via a statement.
Following late goals, against Millwall and MK Dons, that resulted in supporters celebrating with red smoke bombs, Swindon Town have released a statement warning its fans that anyone involved in using pyrotechnics during a match will be hit with a stadium ban.
In the statement, Swindon Town said:
"During the last two home matches we have seen the use of pyrotechnics (flares/smoke canisters) and other objects in the Town End which has meant that the club could likely face a severe penalty.
"The club reiterates that any fan who is involved in any incident involving dangerous objects being used will face a lengthy banning period from The County Ground Stadium.
We already have a witness from the match v MK Dons and we would ask for any supporter who has information in relation to these incidents to please contact the club via [email protected] as soon as possible."
Smoke bombs were also used in an attempt to improve stadium atmosphere during the re-arranged derby with Bristol Rovers, which ended in a 2-1 defeat.
