Salisbury FC Statement made earlier today

SALISBURY Football Club were dismayed to learn that the female Evesham United physiotherapist was subjected to some distressing and offensive sexist and sexual verbal abuse by a small section of Salisbury FC supporters during the match between the two clubs at the Ray Mac on Saturday October 21st.

Salisbury board members personally offered unreserved apologies to the person concerned following the match when it was brought to their attention and offered to help should she wish to take the matter further.

We wish to make it clear that we are appalled by such comments and behaviour and will take strong action against perpetrators, including banning them from Salisbury FC, should we be made aware of any such abuse and the persons who committed it, and the case be proved.

The club’s stance is quite simple: football, both participating and spectating, is open to all creeds, colours, genders and personal persuasions and all are welcome at the Ray Mac – except for those who are unable themselves to abide by similar principles of respect and tolerance.

We have a large and largely magnificent group of supporters at Salisbury FC and we will not allow their reputation, and the club’s, to be sullied by a few bad apples.
