With that in mind, we would like to remind supporters of the implications of potential pitch invasions, at any time, during the remainder of the 2023/2024 season.

“It is a criminal offense to enter the pitch and the real consequences of these actions have been felt by many, with some fans receiving criminal records, which could affect employment, educational prospects and international travel.”
