As we approach the closing stages of an exciting Sky Bet Championship season.

We have been hugely grateful for your support in the stands this season and the noise and atmosphere you create is a fundamental part of what makes our club so great. Vincent Kompany, his staff and his players are hugely appreciative of the fantastic support you have given us.

As we reach this crucial stage of the season, we must remind you, in the interests of safety for everyone inside the stadium, that the pitch is for managers, players and match officials, while the stands are there for you to support the 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 as well as 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 the club itself. Our plea to you is to keep the pitch for players and the stand for spectators and avoid any unnecessary disruption at such a crucial point of the campaign.

Love Football, Protect the Game.
