FA Rule 20-24

20 Each Affiliated Association, Competition and Club shall be responsible for ensuring:
(a) that its directors, players, officials, employees, servants, representatives, spectators,
and all persons purporting to be its supporters or followers, conduct themselves in an
orderly fashion and refrain from any one or combination of the following: racist,
violent, threatening, abusive, obscene or provocative behaviour, conduct or language
whilst attending at or taking part in a Match in which it is involved, whether on its own
ground or elsewhere; and
(b) that no spectators or unauthorised persons are permitted to encroach onto the pitch
area, save for reasons of crowd safety, or to throw missiles, bottles or other potentially
harmful or dangerous objects at or on to the pitch.
21 Each Club is expected to provide a private way from the playing area to dressing room
wherever this is practicable.
22 Any Affiliated Association, Competition or Club which fails effectively to discharge its said
responsibility in any respect whatsoever shall be guilty of Misconduct. It shall be a defence
in respect of charges against a Club for Misconduct by spectators and all persons
purporting to be supporters or followers of the Club, if it can show that all events, incidents
or occurrences complained of were the result of circumstances over which it had no control,
or for reasons of crowd safety, and that its responsible officers or agents had used all due
diligence to ensure that its said responsibility was discharged.
23 Any individual referred to in Rule E20 above may be removed from any ground, and such
force used as may be necessary for the purpose of effecting such removal.
24 Each Club shall have bills printed and posted in their grounds, threatening with expulsion
anyone responsible for any insulting or improper conduct towards a Match Official.
