Swindon Town have committed to “banning orders and legal action” over several moments of fan unrest during the defeat against Walsall on Saturday (August 2).
A seat was ripped out of the away end and thrown in the direction of Saddlers goalkeeper Myles Roberts, while cigarette lighters were also aimed onto the field of play as Swindon contrived to lose to 10 men at the Bescot Stadium.
This followed a smoke grenade being thrown onto the pitch after Will Wright’s equaliser for the Robins, in a series of events which may well result in punitive measures from the Football Association.
Swindon took more than 2,000 supporters to the Bescot for the first day of the new League Two season, and the vast majority managed to get through 90 minutes of football without causing problems.
