Swindon Town have issued a statement insisting they will take the strictest possible following suggestions of disorder during their defeat to Walsall on Saturday afternoon.Goals from Evan Weir and Connor Barrett either side of a Will Wright penalty saw the ten-men of Walsall win 2-1 at the Pallet-Track Bescot Stadium, however, there were several other events that also hit the headlines.
It is understood that a supporter in the away end threw an object, believed to be a seat, in the direction of Saddlers goalkeeper Myles Roberts, whilst there were reports of further unrest amongst the away support.
Issued via their official website, the Swindon Town statement, reads: Swindon Town Football Club are appalled by the unacceptable behaviour of a minority of individuals during our recent fixture against Walsall.
The Club is aware of a number of serious incidents involving the use of pyrotechnics, objects being thrown, abuse directed at stewards, staff, players, and match officials, as well as damage caused to property within the stadium.
This behaviour has absolutely no place at our football club or in the wider game.
We are conducting a full and thorough investigation into these matters and are working closely with Walsall Football Club and the relevant local authorities to identify those responsible.
Let us be clear: any individuals found to have engaged in such actions will face the strictest possible sanctions, including banning orders and legal action where appropriate.
Swindon Town will not tolerate any conduct that endangers the safety of others or damages the reputation of our football club.
We remain grateful to the overwhelming majority of our supporters who continue to follow the team in the right way and uphold the values we stand for.
We urge all fans to play their part in maintaining a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment at all our matches — home or away.
If you have any information that could support our investigation, we urge you to contact us in confidence via [email protected].
