Following last Saturday’s incident, we would like to update supporters on a number of changes to ground safety management that will apply to the remaining fixtures of the 2025/26 season.
Our main priority is to ensure supporters have full confidence in attending matches at Arbour Park and can continue to enjoy live football in a warm, welcoming, and family-friendly environment.
There is no doubt that an underlying issue is currently affecting non-league football, with a very small minority of individuals attending matches intent on anti-social behaviour, where the football itself is secondary. As a football club, we do not condone this behaviour from either home or away supporters.
We are currently assisting Thames Valley Police with their investigation into last Saturday’s incident, and three individuals have been issued with suspensions while this investigation continues.
From Tuesday’s fixture against Weston-super-Mare, supporters will notice an increased presence from Sands Security at upcoming fixtures. In addition, due to the anticipated size of attendances, segregation will be in place for the following matches:
• Wycombe Wanderers
• Salisbury (Community Day)
• Maidenhead United
• Torquay United
• Dagenham & Redbridge
Alongside these immediate measures, the club will also be undertaking a further ongoing review into how we can improve the overall matchday experience and ticketing management ahead of next season. This will include, but not be limited to, considerations around segregation, ticketing processes, and policies relating to Under-18 admissions.
We thank all supporters for their continued backing and cooperation as we take these necessary steps to ensure the safety and enjoyment of everyone attending matches at Arbour Park.
