Banbury FC Board have released a statement following yesterday's trouble.
The Club Board of Directors issue the following statement.
We liaised closely with Thames Valley Police before yesterday's game against Hereford and had a full stewarding team on duty. In consultation with the force the match was segregated.
We will of course review and update our procedures for such games in light of incidents yesterday.
We have had a fantastic start to the season on the pitch with great support off it. However the behaviour of a very small minority of supporters yesterday was unacceptable.
Thames Valley Police are investigating the disorder that occurred and if anyone has any relevant footage please contact the force via their website, www.thamesvalley.police.uk or call 101, quoting reference number 943 (27/8). We would ask any supporters who have any information that can assist to do so.
In addition during the game two smoke bombs were let off in the Town End occupied by Banbury supporters. As stressed in our messaging this is criminal behaviour. The club will face repercussions for this.
We will not hesitate to issue banning orders for supporters who are found to be involved in anti-social behaviour. As members of Cherwell Pubwatch Banbury any bans will include from other member premises in the town.
We will review the day with the police to see what further steps we need to take.
We are a community club, we want to be able to welcome everyone to our ground. We know fans are passionate but there is a clear line between behaviour that is acceptable and the incidents above that were not.
We are sure supporters will get behind the team tomorrow in a positive way at Leamington and want the day to be about what happens on the pitch not off it.
Update: The correct police reference number is 943 (25/8)
