Supporters are respectfully reminded of the code of conduct inside Goodison Park.

Recent games involving Everton have seen fan encroachment onto the field, objects being thrown from the crowd onto the field of play and an instance of racist abuse, which has resulted in a criminal conviction.

Everton Football Club has a zero-tolerance approach to all incidents of disorder and discrimination - and we strongly remind everyone that it is a criminal offence under the Football (Offences) Act 1991 to enter the pitch and to throw items inside the stadium.

This not only disrupts the match, but is also deemed to be a serious security risk to all players, officials and everyone in the stadium.

We remind supporters that all perpetrators of public order offences, which includes pitch encroachment, the throwing of objects and racist or discriminatory behaviour, will receive lengthy stadium bans, potential Police investigation and further possible legal sanctions.
