Love Football, Protect the Game

A message from The Premier League

As we approach the exciting season finale, people must know that the pitch is for players and the stands are for spectators. It is against the law to enter the pitch at any time and anyone who does so is liable to face a ban and police action.

Everybody should feel safe at football but pitch invasions endanger everyone because it’s impossible to tell the difference between celebration and an attack. Entering the pitch could also result in club penalties so do not spoil it for your fellow fans.

Let’s protect each other, your club and the game.

You can read more information about this initiative here.
