Dover Athletic issue banning orders to three supporters after unacceptable incidents against Aldershot at Crabble

Dover have moved swiftly to issue banning orders to Dover fans after 'unacceptable' incidents during Monday's home defeat to Aldershot Town at Crabble.

Midway through the second half of the game - which saw Whites suffer a 2-1 defeat, their first ever at home to Aldershot - several fans were escorted out of the stands by security.

A statement issued on Tuesday morning said: "The club has issued three banning orders to Dover supporters following incidents during Monday's Vanarama National League game against Aldershot at Crabble."

Dover chairman Jim Parmenter (pictured) added: “We are a family friendly club and we make great effort to be welcoming and hospitable to one and all.

“We want people to enjoy watching the football in a pleasant and friendly environment and not put up with this sort of behaviour.

“This behaviour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated at all, so we have taken the appropriate action to deal with the matter promptly.”

The 200 or so travelling Shots fans in a crowd of 1,093 were segregated from the home fans in the ground and had to access the stadium via a separate entrance.

Whites supporters claimed a group of Shots fans were also led away from the nearby Cricketers pub following an exchange with home fans after the game.
