Burnley FC is One Club for All and we pride ourselves on being open, diverse and welcoming to everyone. Discrimination has no place in football, and we have a zero-tolerance approach to any supporter found breaching our Supporter Code of Conduct.

We will not tolerate any form of hate speech or discriminatory behaviour, whether physical or verbal, from any supporters at home, away; while travelling to or from club matches or events; or on social media or digital platforms. The club will always take the necessary steps to eliminate such unacceptable behaviour; and the individual concerned will be subject to a sanction from the club and may face arrest and subsequent prosecution.

We urge all travelling supporters to ensure they represent our football club in a positive manner.

We thank you for your cooperation.

Offensive chanting

We are aware of incidents of offensive chanting that can deeply impact Clubs and their supporters.

Those found to be responsible will be ejected from the stadium and maybe arrested. There is no place for offensive chanting in the game.

We also remind supporters that poverty chanting affects people in our town. It's not welcome in football. Further information about Burnley FC in the Community's foodbank can be found here.

We thank you for your support.

When attending Goodison Park please be aware that security measures are in place to protect and reassure all supporters.

All bags will be searched: only bags smaller than A4 size and able to fit under a seat without causing obstruction are allowed in the Stadium, we do not have a left luggage facility. Please plan ahead if you are travelling long distances or staying in the city.

· Luggage facilities are available at Liverpool Lime Street Station; however, this is on a first-come, first-served basis.

· Sniffer dogs will also be present to detect any possible drugs or pyrotechnics in or around the Stadium.

· Supporters are subject to search-on-entry, please arrive in good time to facilitate this process.

We urge the public to remain alert but not alarmed - the police service and our partners are doing everything we can to help protect the security of our communities, public institutions, critical national infrastructure, and businesses and places of interest. Our security measures and activities are under constant review to reflect where the threats exist and the level of threat we are facing. The latest guidance on recognising the terrorist threat and remaining vigilant can be accessed via www.nacts.gov.uk. Be vigilant. If you suspect it, report it.

Nobody is better placed to detect something that is out of place in their communities than the people living in them. We would encourage you, if you do see any suspicious activity, to call the Anti-Terrorist Hotline on 0800 789 321, or in an emergency the public should always call 999. For further information about reporting suspicious behaviour visit https://act.capaign.gov.uk/.

Pyrotechnics

Everton Football Club does not condone the use of pyrotechnics under any circumstances. Any fan found using them will be subject to action by the Club and Police. Being convicted of using a pyrotechnic could result in a jail sentence. As a Club, we will also impose an indefinite ban on anyone caught using pyrotechnics.

As well as the risk of a ban or conviction, the devices have serious effect on others, particularly those with breathing difficulties and those who cannot easily get away from the smoke.

Code of Conduct

We ask that all supporters remain seated throughout the match and do not block the aisles. Any supporter who attempts to disrupt play, at any time, will be ejected from the Stadium and may be arrested. This also applies to any supporters identified to be throwing items onto the field of play or into the home supporter areas.

Supporters may be searched prior to entering the stadium. In accordance with our Ground Regulations the following are offences under the Football (Offences) Act 1991, as amended by the Football (Offences and Disorder) Act 1999:

• The throwing of any object within the ground without lawful authority or excuse.

• The chanting of anything of an indecent or racist nature.

• The use of threating behaviour, foul or abusive language.

• The entry onto the playing area or any adjacent area which spectators are not generally admitted without lawful authority or excuse.

• Any supporter not adhering to the above will be refused entry to the stadium or ejected from their seat and may be arrested.

Beer throwing and throwing of items

Group “bouncing” and throwing of items, including beer and items being thrown into the air are all prohibited.

Although it has only involved a small minority of fans, it has resulted in both the Club and the Police receiving complaints from supporters who have become soaked in beer or have been hit by items thrown. This is anti-social behaviour and people should not have to put up with this. Therefore, the Club, Merseyside Police and supporters’ groups have discussed how this should be addressed.

Firstly, both the Club and the Police want to make it clear that we want ALL our supporters to enjoy their day and we understand that this may include singing and an element of “bouncing” as a group.

Any home or away fans participate in the throwing of alcohol or any other items in any area of the Stadium, they will be dealt with by Matchday Stewards with the full support of Merseyside Police Officers. This could culminate with an ejection from the ground or potentially an arrest, dependent on the specific circumstances.

Please continue to enjoy the match but we ask that you also consider other supporters and how they will be affected by your behaviour, and we ask for your support in this.

Report It

Everyone attending or taking part in a football match has the right to feel safe, valued and included and we encourage supporters to continue to play their part in this.

If you witness discriminatory behaviour at a match or around a stadium, please report it to the police or a steward. Supporters at Goodison Park can text HELP plus details of what they have witnessed and where to 84300, or email reportit@evertonfc.com.

Seating

Please be advised due to several instances with items being thrown between home and away supporters, Everton Football Club has introduced a netting system to act as a prevention, with the purpose of maintaining the safety for both sets of fans.
