Supporters’ Charter
Scarborough Athletic Football Club is a Supporters’
Owned and Supporters’ Run Football Club, with our
primary aim to operate at the highest level possible
within a prudent financial framework.
Scarborough Athletic FC is a Community Football
Club and inclusive to all. We will not tolerate racist,
homophobic, misogynistic or any other forms of
discriminatory abuse or anti-social behaviour whilst
attending fixtures or online on social media. The
use of pyrotechnics inside sports stadia, smoking,
vaping or pitch incursions are all against the law at
sports stadia.
Scarborough Athletic FC expects all supporters to
conduct themselves responsibly. Conduct that is
irresponsible or jeopardises the safety and
enjoyment of other persons or brings the club into
disrepute will not be tolerated.
Anyone who attends a Scarborough Athletic FC
fixture both home or away should follow the Ground
Regulations for the safety and enjoyment of all
supporters.
Supporters aged 11 and under must be
accompanied by a paying adult (18 years or older).
This is to safeguard children whilst in the stadium.
Reporting Incidents
As a Supporters’ Owned and Supporters’ Run
Football Club, we rely heavily on volunteers.
Should you witness disorderly or discriminatory
behaviour of any kind at a fixture, please inform
your nearest steward at your earliest opportunity.
Our club will not tolerate such behaviour towards a
fellow supporter, volunteer, player, official or
member of staff.
Our preferred method of reporting an incident is to
inform a steward at your earliest opportunity to
ensure any action can be taken before any
escalation. Please provide as much information as
clearly as possible to the steward who can
investigate your report.
Supporters who witness discriminatory abuse at any
away fixture should also ensure they report this to
the nearest steward on the day. Scarborough
Athletic FC will liaise with the hosting club to gather
the information should it be deemed necessary.
You can also report any incidents to:
What Happens When I Report An Incident?
Scarborough Athletic FC work in partnership with
our Security Partners alongside club volunteer
stewards and North Yorkshire Police. Please report
any incident to your nearest steward who will then
be able to log your report and investigate further. In
some cases, depending on the severity of the
report, the police may be contacted.
CCTV is in operation inside and outside the
Stadium and this may be used to investigate or
used as evidence.
In some cases, it may not always be possible for
the club to take visible action immediately, however
we appreciate Supporters’ reporting of any incidents
for the safety and enjoyment of everyone.

Scarborough Athletic FC have a zero tolerance
policy towards abuse and anti-social behaviour.
Consequences of such behaviour could include:
● Refusal of entry or ejected from the
Stadium

Any retrospective action taken will be relevant to
each individual case and SAFC work closely with
North Yorkshire Police to share and collate
information regarding any supporters involved in
unacceptable conduct and behaviour at both home
and away fixtures.
We ask all Supporters to enjoy themselves and
support their club in a responsible manner, whilst
considering the impact of their behaviour towards
others and the club in which they support.
Report it. Kick it out.
