Club Statement:
We would like to inform supporters that we have been contacted by the Football Association regarding a serious incident that occurred on Saturday, 15th November, at our home game versus Basingstoke Town.

We are currently collaborating with all agencies to identify the person responsible, as this is a very serious situation the individual has put the club in, which could have potentially damaging consequences for us all.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Dorset Police online or by calling 101, quoting occurrence number 55250171759. Alternatively, independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously online using its website or by calling Freephone 0800 555 111.
We remind supporters that racist, sexist, homophobic, and all abusive language and threatening behavior will not be tolerated in any form. Our security team is always on hand to ensure your safety, and you should always report to them any incident you see or hear that is of an offensive nature.
