As we approach the closing stages of another exciting Sky Bet League Two season everyone at Barrow AFC has 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.
The manager Pete Wild his staff and his players are hugely appreciative of the fantastic support you have given us.
As we reach this final stage of the season, we must remind you in the interests of safety for everyone inside our stadium, that the pitch is for managers, players and match officials, while the stands are there for you to support the team.
At the end of last season, some Clubs witnessed unsavoury and unwelcome scenes with a small minority of people entering the field of play whilst other fans took to the pitch in celebratory mood.
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 across the country and 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 Barrow AFC.
The players and staff would like to show this appreciation to the fans with a lap of honour after the game, but for this to happen our plea to you is to keep the pitch for players and the stands for spectators and avoid any unnecessary disruption.
Love Football, Protect the Game.
