Newport facing FA action after object thrown during FA Cup tie

Newport County say they are “disappointed” to be facing disciplinary action and a potential fine from the Football Association (FA) after an object was thrown on to the pitch during their FA Cup tie with Peterborough United.

The Exiles say an item was thrown on to the field of play from the terracing behind the Rodney Parade dug-out as they faced Darren Ferguson’s side in south Wales on Saturday afternoon.

It comes after a public warning was issued following the club’s League Two fixture with Chesterfield in October – with potential punishments now including a fine for the club, plus stadium bans and potential prosecution for individuals.

A club statement read: “The club is currently reviewing CCTV footage and details of any individual seen throwing an object will be forwarded to the Police for potential prosecution and receive an immediate stadium ban.

“The club will also consider closing the terrace immediately behind the dug-out for future games, as it has done in the past.”

Newport added: “We remind supporters once again that this behaviour is completely unacceptable, dangerous, and we will maintain our zero-tolerance policy going forward.”
