Premier League sides have collated their thoughts at an annual general meeting to discuss the issue of fan behaviour. Club officials agreed to introduce enhanced measures ahead of the start of next season, underlining the importance of a safe matchday environment.
The new set of actions - which will affect Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham, among other clubs - will tackle a range of challenges - including missiles, pyrotechnics and pitch invasions. Premier League chief executive Richard Masters said: "It is vital that everyone feels safe at a football match.
"Supporters must be reminded it is illegal to enter the pitch at any time. To be clear, this area is unequivocally for football and, under no circumstance should players, managers, match officials or staff fear for their safety - just as fans should remain protected in the stands.
