Club Statement

Chester FC would like to remind supporters that carrying or using pyrotechnics including flares, smoke bombs and fireworks within stadiums is illegal.

Two recent incidents of pyrotechnics being thrown onto the pitch at home matches are under investigation and anyone identified as being responsible will face a club ban and be reported to the police.

Our club supports the ‘Love Football. Protect the Game’ campaign that has introduced stronger measures and tougher sanctions to tackle anti-social and criminal behaviours, including entering the pitch without permission, use of pyrotechnics, throwing missiles, drug use and discriminatory behaviour.

Pyrotechnics can cause serious injuries such as burns and breathing problems, alongside damage to hands, hearing, lungs and eyes, and pose a serious fire hazard. It is illegal to bring them into stadiums and doing so endangers the safety of you and others, as well as putting the football club at risk of sanctions, including fines.

Chester FC is an inclusive, family-friendly football club and committed to ensuring the Deva Stadium provides a safe, welcoming environment for all visitors.

We expect all supporters to behave in a responsible manner and adhere with our Code of Conduct, which can be found at chesterfc.com/supportercodeofconduct.
