Incident Reports Cause Reputational Damage Said Hereford Chairman

There have been several incidents recently which have caused Hereford chairman Chris Ammonds to issue a statement about fan behaviour.

He cited trouble at Tamworth and Chester away as well as Southport at home.

“While the vast majority of our fantastic supporters behave very well and do not cause any issues, we have received reports about incidents at three of our recent games,said Ammonds.

“I would like to remind all supporters that their behaviour reflects on our great club and its reputation within the football world. We will not tolerate discriminatory or abusive language of any sort or any anti-social behaviour and will deal with any reports of this nature we receive very robustly.

“Working with the police and other clubs in this league, we will also come down strongly on any supporters throwing items onto the field of play (including drinks), or causing damage to facilities at any of the grounds we visit.

“Not only do reports like the ones we have received cause reputational damage, they also cause a huge amount of added work for office staff at Edgar Street given that we have to respond to each report in detail having investigated the information received.

“Please can I ask all our supporters to take responsibility for their own behaviour and to also try to influence others in a positive way too. I have no doubt that the majority of fans do exactly that, but as a club we felt it important to put out a reminder to everyone to send a clear message on this subject and be open about the recent issues that have occurred.”
