Club Statement

The process has begun to identify those fans that encroached onto the pitch during the Salford City game.

The Club is working in close co-operation with Greater Manchester Police in these respects.

The first group of identified fans will receive letters notifying them of a Club ban of three years. This action does not preclude the ability of the Police to prosecute those who committed the offence of encroachment.

In future, the Club will operate a zero-tolerance approach to all breaches of the law.

Those receiving Club bans should be aware that there is no appeal process in place.
