Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Pitch invaders at Premier League and English Football League matches will receive an automatic club ban under new measures to tackle fan behaviour.<\/p>\n

Concerns were raised about safety at grounds after a number of pitch invasions at the end of last season.<\/p>\n

Individuals who carry or use pyrotechnics or smoke bombs will also be banned and identified offenders will be reported to the police.<\/p>\n

The Football Association will also implement tougher sanctions for clubs. It is an offence for fans to enter the pitch \u201cwithout lawful authority or lawful excuse\u201d under the Football Offences Act 1991 \u2014 but offenders have not always been prosecuted.<\/p>\n

However, prosecuting offenders will now be the \u201cdefault response\u201d under the new measures.<\/p>\n

The leagues and the FA will: Work with clubs to improve searches of individuals, increase use of sniffer dogs at grounds, work with social media platforms to quickly remove fan-generated videos of illegal behaviour, ask the government to restrict the supply of pyrotechnics and smoke bombs and potentially ban accompanying parents or guardians of children who take part in illegal behaviour.<\/p>\n

The Premier League, EFL and FA will also work with police forces to \u201cestablish a new principle for cases relating to pyrotechnics and smoke bombs\u201d.<\/p>\n

Premier League clubs agreed new measures to deal with pitch invasions last month following a series of incidents.<\/p>\n

Aston Villa keeper Robin Olsen was assaulted at Manchester City on the final day of the season, while a Nottingham Forest fan was jailed for headbutting Sheffield United captain Billy Sharp at the end of their play-off match.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rise in anti-social behaviour that we saw in stadiums at the end of last season was entirely unacceptable and put people\u2019s safety at risk,\u201d FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether, English football has introduced new measures and stronger sanctions, for the start of the coming season, to send out a clear message that we will not tolerate this type of illegal and dangerous behaviour.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the responsibility of everyone in the game, including governing bodies, clubs, players, coaches, and fans, to ensure that we all play our part in protecting our game and each other.\u201d<\/p>\n
