Carlisle United have issued a warning to fans over behaviour ahead of today’s game with Colchester United.
The alleged throwing of objects was reported by the match referee on Tuesday during the Brunton Park game with Mansfield.
A United statement said: “We would like to remind everyone that every football fan should feel safe attending matches when watching Carlisle United.
“The illegal use of pyrotechnics at Brunton Park and the throwing of objects puts the safety of everyone at risk. They have no place in our game.
“Pyrotechnics are dangerous to fans, players, officials and everyone in the ground. If you are caught using pyrotechnics you could be banned from the club and arrested.
“It goes without saying that the throwing of objects is also an extremely dangerous act. Let’s protect each other, Carlisle United and the game.”
United say that if fans see anyone with, or using any type of pyrotechnic, or throw any type of object towards the playing area, they should report it to the nearest steward or staff member as soon as possible.
Alternatively they can call or text 07891 779 015 and her information will be acted upon anonymously.
United reiterated: “The club’s commitment is to promote equality, diversity and inclusion and to confront and eliminate discrimination.
“We want everyone to feel welcome when they visit Brunton Park whether they are our own supporters, or supporters of other clubs.
“Any instances of bad behaviour of any kind will be investigated.
“It is worth repeating that the use or possession of pyro, pitch incursions, throwing of missiles or objects and extreme levels of abuse will lead to automatic club bans, and could be followed up by the authorities.
“Please, enjoy the game, back the team, but keep Brunton Park a safe and welcoming environment.
“Negative actions by individuals have negative consequences for us all.”
