TAUNTON Town FC fans may be potentially banned from watching their team play after incidents at the club's last home match.

In the game against Gosport Borough January 14, some Taunton Town fans were said to have performed a number of  potentially illegal activities, including entering the pitch without permission, carrying or using smoke bombs or pyrotechnics, and throwing objects.

As well as this, Taunton Town FC confirmed people have allegedly been taking drugs and showing signs of discriminatory behaviour over a longer period of time.

The Peacocks have expressed that the safety of everyone attending a matchday is the game’s collective priority and know the behaviours carried out by some fans over the last two seasons "do not represent the majority of supporters" and they "risk ruining the fantastic experience of a football match for everyone".

The club confirmed that anyone who entering the pitch and those identified carrying or using pyrotechnics or smoke bombs will now receive an automatic club ban.

These bans could also be extended to accompanying parents or guardians of children who take part in these activities.

Speaking about a potential ban, Taunton Town FC released a statement regarding the anti-social behaviour at the Cygnet Health Care Stadium:

"The club will no longer put up with instances of poor behaviour and will target activities such as entering the pitch without permission, carrying or using smoke bombs or pyrotechnics and throwing objects – as well as drug use and discriminatory behaviour," according to the release.

"These acts are dangerous, illegal and have severe consequences. They have no place in football, or anywhere. 

"We now have CCTV which will aid and help identify offenders and we will be reporting any instances to the police and prosecution that could result in a permanent criminal record, which may affect their employment and education, and could result in a prison sentence.

"The FA will also be enforcing a tougher charging and sanctioning policy for clubs, which will reinforce these measures.

Taking revenge for their 5-1 thrashing earlier in the season - Taunton Town FC, known as the Peacocks, won 3-1 against Gosport Borough just three days after drawing with the same opponents away from home.
