Chester have issued a statement after problems with 'a very small minority' of supporters during and after their game against Southport yesterday.
During the game at Haig Avenue, a small number of Chester fans went onto the pitch and afterwards a player's partner was reportedly punched. Southport won the game 3-0.
Here's part of the Chester statement:
"Whilst everyone connected was disappointed with yesterday’s result
away at Southport, a very small minority of the travelling supporters
let both themselves and Chester Football Club down with their behaviour -
in particular during the second half.
"Entering the field of play during the game at any time is unacceptable behaviour and may see the Club charged and even fined by the Football Association.
"Such behaviour not only has consequences for Chester FC, but also the individual through potential banning orders enforced through the courts.
"As such, we remind supporters to stay off the field of play at all times.
"In addition to this, Chester Football Club are also aware of a number of issues raised through social media regarding the behaviour of some of our supporters towards fellow fans and the families of the players and management team.
"Chester Football Club condemns and will not tolerate such behaviour. Anyone who is identified to have acted in a way that would be considered hostile, threatening or violent will be dealt with as appropriate to their actions.
"Nevertheless, these messages should not distract from the superb away support that was received yesterday. The vast majority have been, and will remain a credit to this Community Club."
Chester's next game is at Hereford on Saturday.
