Club Statement: Amnesty on club-issued bans

Ahead of the new season, Scunthorpe United would like to announce that all club-issued bans have been lifted, effective from this evening’s game against Hull City.

This is a second chance to many individuals, but there will not be a third chance. The repercussions of taking advantage of this second chance will be severe and the club will be taking a zero-tolerance policy going forwards.

We want Glanford Park to be a safe and enjoyable place to come and watch the Iron play and that will always be our main priority. We also understand that a handful of supporters who are on club bans were issued them when they were much younger and have presented their eagerness to prove that they can attend matches without causing anti-social behaviour.

As proven in the past, any supporter who causes anti-social behaviour, puts any other supporters at risk, or whose actions risk incurring penalties towards the club from the Football Association, or other governing bodies, will be removed from the stadium once identified and issued relevant punishments.

Any bans issued from Tuesday, July 25th, 2023 onwards will be stringently adhered to. Should any supporter previously banned take advantage of this second chance, the ban issued could be up to and including a lifetime one, both home and away. To reiterate, our policy going forward is zero tolerance.

We hope giving people a second chance will encourage people to respect the club and their fellow supporters moving forward.

Please note, any individual who is currently serving a national stadium ban will not be able to attend any Scunthorpe United match until that ban has been lifted.
