Brentford Football Club has received a letter from the Football Association asking for an explanation for the behaviour of supporters during Saturday’s Sky Bet League One match against Crawley Town.
In the official report from the match officials to the FA it was stated that firecrackers were thrown from the end containing Brentford supporters on three separate occasions.
It was also noted that two of these explosives entered the field of play.
The Club will be formulating a reply in due course.
The Club would like to remind supporters that bringing flares or firecrackers in to any football ground is a very dangerous action which puts the safety of the holder of the flare and those around them at risk.
It is illegal and against Ground Regulations.
Last month a 14-year-old male was banned from Griffin Park for the rest of 2013 and charged with possession of a firework/flare at a sporting event after a flare was set off in the BIAS Terrace, at the Ealing Road end of the ground, during Brentford’s League One match against Colchester United.
This is the second time a supporter has been banned from Griffin Park for doing so and the Metropolitan Police have also acted against supporters caught with flares in the away end.
The Club would like to reiterate how seriously all breaches of Ground Regulations are treated, particularly those which put fellow supporters at risk.
Anyone caught with a flare at Griffin Park will be ejected from the ground and face a banning order.
