Love Football, Protect the Game - A message to supporters

Love Football Protect the Game

As we approach our final game of 2023-24 Championship season, everyone at Swansea City would like to thank you for your support from the stands both home and away this season.

Your backing and the atmosphere you create is an integral part of our club, and Luke Williams, his staff and the players are hugely appreciative of how you have got behind the team over the course of the campaign; and plan to show that appreciation following the conclusion of our final game of the season against Millwall on Saturday.

With that in mind, in the interests of safety we want to remind everyone that the pitch is for managers, players and match officials, while the stands are there for you to support the team.

In recent seasons, some clubs witnessed unsavoury and unwelcome scenes with a small minority of people entering the field of play, whilst other fans have taken to the pitch in celebration at the achievements of their team.

Pitch incursions are dangerous and anyone who does encroach onto the playing surface will face strong sanctions, that could include a ban from attending matches here at the Swansea.com Stadium and across the country, as well as possible police action.

It is a criminal offence to enter the pitch and the real-life consequences for these actions have been felt by many, with some fans receiving criminal records which can impact employment, education prospects and international travel.

It is not only yourself that can be disciplined. There could also be an impact on your family members and Swansea City.

We ask you to keep the pitch for players and the stands for supporters and avoid any unnecessary disruption.

Everybody should feel safe at football, and we all have a role to play in keeping each other safe on matchdays.

We look forward to welcoming you all for our season finale on Saturday.

Love Football, Protect the Game.
