Community Day 2025: Chester (H) - March 22nd

Scunthorpe United is delighted to announce the return of our annual Community Day when we host Chester on Saturday, March 22nd (3pm kick-off).

In what will be the climatical stages of the Vanarama National League North, both sides are bound to be in contention for promotion to the National League, making for a superb spectacle at the Attis Arena.

Last season's Community Day was also against Chester, with the Iron breaking the attendance record for a National League North encounter, eclipsing the previous record of 6,311, and beating it by 1,200, with 7,511 in attendance on the day, with the help of a healthy 1,100 spectators from the Seals.

For this season's Community Day, we will look to emulate the successes of last year, where the football provided on the pitch matched the atmosphere off it, with the spoils shared in a 2-2 draw.

The club is committed to making the football club as accessible as possible to the broader community, and will be putting on a number of offers for this day.

SEASON TICKET HOLDERS BRING A FRIEND FOR A TENNER

REMINDER ABOUT SUPPORTER CONDUCT

While our Community Day is anticipated to be a celebration of the local community, bringing together thousands of people to a sporting event, and looking to break the National League North record for a second time, Scunthorpe United must remind supporters about their conduct at this encounter.

Last season, both clubs were charged with misconduct by the Football Association in relation to failing to control spectators in the encounter against Chester on March 2nd, 2024 at the Attis Arena.

As a result, on Monday, September 23rd, 2024, an individual appeared in Grimsby Magistrates’ Court. As part of the punishment, the supporter has received a national football banning order, prohibiting them from entering any football stadium for a period of three years.

Following an extensive investigation by the Football Association, the club was charged with misconduct for a breach of FA Rule E21 in respect of the match. It was alleged that Scunthorpe United failed to ensure that spectators and/or its supporters (and anyone purporting to be its supporters or followers)
conduct themselves in an orderly fashion whilst attending the match.
 
The club admitted the charge and provided a detailed statement in mitigation. Having considered the club’s extensive submission, the FA imposed a fine of £2,000 and warned the club over its future conduct.

We would like to remind supporters that if there are incidents of this nature reported, then the Football Association have the power to impose serious financial penalties on the club which will almost certainly impact on its playing resources. The frequency in which these incidents have taken place, particularly last season, coupled with the result of this charge, continue to make this a real possibility.
