“The actions of a tiny minority are damaging the club, This has consequences for everyone, The football authorities require that we take action and, as a community club, we therefore must address this.” said the chief executive Nigel Clubbens.
After the investigation that took place, Carlisle United have stated that they will be removing the part of the ground behind the dugout due to fans behaviour during games.
The closure of the area behind the dugouts will come into force for Saturday’s FA Cup First-round tie against Tranmere Rovers to avoid any misconduct.
Investigations went on due to fans throwing coins, bottles and more towards the Leyton Orient manager, Richie Weelens.
This came after he reported that some fans were throwing coins to FA. This was quickly investigated by them.
This has resulted in Carlisle United having less places for fans to stand and or sit, which will result in Carlisle United not having as much supporters at there games.
This is what will now happen at Carlisle United matches!
As a result of this, the only parts of the stadium that will be active and supports will be allowed to go to will be the opposite side of the dugouts and behind one side of the goal.
Next game for Carlisle United will be against fellow League two side Tranmere Rovers in the FA Cup tie.
