Hereford On Report At The FA For Crowd Issues


Hereford are already on report at The FA for crowd-related issues this season, but don't want to resort to banning supporters.

The club say that they've been reminded that further disorder/behaviour incidents could result in severe sanctions for the club.

Director for Community Engagement & HFC FA Respect Director, Andrew Graham, has told the official site that he's responsible for monitoring and ensuring the club comply with FA behaviour requirements.

“As we continue our remarkable push for Football League status, we need to make sure that what happens off the pitch, doesn’t have a negative impact on what is happening on it!" Graham told the official site.

“This season, we already see Hereford FC on report at The FA with a reminder that further disorder/behaviour incidents could result inm severe sanctions for the club.

“As fans ourselves, The HFC Board of Directors never wish to be placed in a position where they are considering a ban for a supporter. I am appealing to all supporters to play their part and ensure that they, and their friends continue to represent HFC positively.

"A supporter ban is never the desired choice of The Board, but decisions will always be taken that protect the interests of everyone at HFC."

Despite being on report, Graham was quick to thank the majority of fans who behaved well at games.

"“I would also like to express our appreciation for this passionate and committed following which has undoubtedly played a significant part of our success story so far, on, and off the field of play," he added.

"As we continue our relentless push toward a Football League position, as Directors, we too have a significant part to play. 

"This Director activity takes place not just on match-days, but everyday, behind the scenes, with Club matters and Regulatory matters, to ensure that we are in a position to progress on our remarkable journey."
