Appeal for witnesses -- further update

Incident at Farsley

The club was informed by the match referee after the end of the game that he will be reporting two incidents involving Darlington fans to the FA.

The first was after 70 minutes when a Darlington fan climbed the pitch barrier, ran on to the pitch and joined in the celebrations of the goal.

The second was after 75 minutes when the Farsley goalkeeper alerted the referee to objects being thrown at him, as well as being spat at. The referee stopped the game and alerted the Farsley stewards.

Darlington FC condemns these incidents, and urges anyone who witnessed them and can identify the perpetrators, to write, in confidence, to ray.simpson@darlingtonfc.org

 

Update -- we have been contacted by several Darlington fans with accounts of the two incidents, we need more, plus we have footage. You can e mail us in confidence on ray.simpson@darlingtonfc.org.

If you can help identify the people involved in these incidents, then please mail us.

 

Further update -- we believe that we are very close to identifying the fan who ran on to the pitch thanks to several eye witness accounts and images, for which we are grateful. If you are the person concerned, then by all means, come forward.
