KIDDERMINSTER Harriers have been contacted by the FA following reports of pyrotechnics and a laser pen being used at recent matches.

The club has confirmed that the association enquired about the alleged use of a laser pen by an individual within the crowd, which was shone onto the pitch during the Harriers' recent match with Chorley.

The club has also been asked to comment on the use of pyrotechnics by Harriers fans at the recent match against Banbury.

On the Harriers website, a statement from the club said: "Following a small number of incidents last season, the behaviour of the spectators this season has been much improved at Aggborough.

"However, instances such as these by individuals risk causing damage to people’s health, put the good name of the club in jeopardy and leave the club open to possible sanction by The FA.

"As a club that fully supports The FA’s new crackdown on improper behaviour, this cannot be tolerated. Action will be taken against those found to be involved.

The statement added: "If anybody has any information on the incidents, then please contact the club in strictest confidence via email at info@harriers.co.uk or via phone by ringing the club on 01562 823 931 and ask to speak to the General Manager".

Responding to the reports of improper behaviour, Kidderminster Police said: "The poor behaviour from the small minority of 'fans' won't be tolerated.

"We will continue to work closely with @khfcofficial to eradicate behaviours such as #ASB, the use of flares and incidents of violence at both home and away matches.

"The use of club bans will continue to be issued to those who wish not to follow simple rules and legislation.

"The use of Football banning orders is an option to us as well.

"This will allow a ban to all forms of Football. Let the majority enjoy their football".
