A firework thrown onto the pitch during a Barrow home game has prompted swift action by the Bluebirds.
A fan was arrested following the incident, on Tuesday, which saw the firework tossed on to the pitch during the game with Carlisle United.
The club, which banned the man for life, has decided to implement number of measures.
A statement said: “The age in which you can buy an unaccompanied ticket to enter the SO Legal Stadium has been raised to 15 and over.
“We understand there are numerous supporters who have already bought season tickets, and we will be reaching out to those to provide a solution, but no singular ticket can be bought alone under the age of 15.
“The club will be adopting a stringent check upon entering the ground and any groups unaccompanied will be subsequently challenged.”
If anyone enters the SO Legal Stadium with their child or children, they must make sure they always remain under their supervision.
When entering the SO Legal Stadium, face coverings must not be worn at turnstiles unless for a valid reason. The club still has COVID safe turnstiles.
If fans do not comply, the club has the right to refuse entry.
In the interim, a section of Holker Street will be closed until further notice.
