Southport have spoken out on the unsavoury incident that marred their 3-2 win against Hereford in the National League North.
On Tuesday night, several ‘fans’ from the home end were ejected from Haig Avenue after Hereford keeper Brandon Hall had a talk with the referee who then spoke to a steward about the incident.
Southport fans told that if they don’t stop throwing things onto the pitch the game will be abandoned.

SOUTHPORT CLUB STATEMENT
“Despite the terrific victory last night against Hereford, the match was marred by an unsavoury incident in the 36th minute when the match referee alerted club staff that objects were being thrown from a section of ‘fans’ in the Jack Carr Stand.
“To the credit of the genuine supporters of Southport Football Club, the perpetrators were identified and ejected within minutes.
“The Club would like to put on record its thanks to those supporters who identified the small element responsible.
“Such behaviour will not be tolerated within The Pure Stadium and any fan seen throwing objects onto the pitch will be immediately ejected and possible prosecution sought.”
