Southport FC have banned a number of fans following a fight in the stands during a pre-season friendly earlier this month.
The club has confirmed a number of supporters have been banned following their match with north west neighbours Blackpool at the Pure Stadium on Saturday, July 2. The match, which finished 2-0 to the visitors, was halted shortly after the second goal in the first half by the referee as home and away fans clashed in the stands.
The Vanarama National League North club has now confirmed that a "number of individuals" have been issued with club/stadium bans. This has come following joint work by the club and Merseyside Police, with investigations continuing into the incident.
