Scunthorpe United Calls for Respectful Conduct Ahead of Chester Clash
Alright, football fans, it’s time to gear up for an electrifying clash as Scunthorpe United hosts Chester this Saturday, March 22nd, for Community Day at the Attis Arena. It’s set to be a thrilling top-of-the-table battle, but the club is issuing an important reminder to all supporters—let’s keep it clean, safe, and respectful!
Last year’s Community Day match against Chester came with some unfortunate consequences. Following an investigation by the Football Association, Scunthorpe United faced a misconduct charge due to breaches of FA Rule E21. The club was fined £2,000 after some spectators engaged in improper, violent, and provocative behavior, including pitch incursions. This year, the message is loud and clear: let’s enjoy the game responsibly and avoid any actions that could result in penalties for the club or individual supporters.
Co-owner and chair Michelle Harness emphasized the importance of fan behavior, urging everyone to take this as an opportunity to celebrate the community, not tarnish the occasion with misconduct. She highlighted that last season’s incident cost the club valuable resources and time to defend itself against the FA charges.

Harness also extended appreciation to the majority of supporters who have upheld excellent conduct throughout this season. Their commitment to a positive matchday atmosphere has not gone unnoticed, and the club is keen to maintain that reputation. The ultimate goal is to ensure that Community Day is a joyful celebration of football and the spirit of Scunthorpe, rather than a repeat of last year’s troubles.
Scunthorpe United has made it clear—pitch invasions, the use of pyrotechnics, and throwing objects won’t be tolerated. Not only do these actions put the club at risk of further sanctions, but they also pose a serious danger to players, security staff, and fellow fans. The club is urging all attendees to stay in their allocated seats and respect the stadium regulations.
This game is expected to draw one of the biggest crowds of the season, and with Chester traveling in large numbers, the atmosphere will be electric. Fans are encouraged to arrive early, as gates open at 1:30 PM, with pre-match entertainment wrapping up by 2:15 PM. There may be delays at the turnstiles, so getting in early will ensure a smooth entry before kick-off.
Let’s make this match a memorable one for all the right reasons. Support your team, cheer loud, but most importantly, do it the right way. The players are giving their all on the pitch—let’s show them the best of Scunthorpe United off it!
Come on, Iron fans, let’s show our true colors and make Community Day a celebration of football, passion, and unity!
