Crystal Palace will ban any fans found guilty of throwing objects

Crystal Palace have promised to indefinitely ban supporters who threw objects at their last two home matches, if they can be identified.

Newcastle defender Fabricio Coloccini was struck by a coin at Selhurst Park during the sides’ 1-1 draw on February 11.

Palace then played Liverpool in the FA Cup three days later where another object was thrown onto the pitch and the south London club have insisted they are taking the matters seriously.

“We have conducted our own investigation into the incidents at our last two home matches, as well as making our CCTV footage available to the police,” read a statement on Palace’s official website.

“We take a zero tolerance approach to this sort of behaviour and, if the perpetrators are identified, they will be banned indefinitely from the stadium. If they are season ticket holders their cards will be made void without a refund.

“The stupid behaviour of a few supporters risks creating a negative image of our club and we would appreciate the help of Palace fans in identifying the culprits, who are not welcome at Selhurst Park.

“The club already has extensive security measures in place, including body cameras for stewards, and will continue to improve CCTV coverage at the ground.”
