Farnham Town Football Club is appalled to learn of an alleged incident that took place following yesterday’s league fixture at Weymouth in which two children were assaulted by a mob of young ‘fans’ associated with the home club as they tried to make their way home.
The incident has been reported to Dorset Police who have opened an investigation and have reached out to Weymouth Football Club for their cooperation in identifying the attackers.
Police are aware of a images shared on social media allegedly associated to the incident in question. The matter now sits in the hands of the authorities who will conduct a thorough investigation. We will not be making any further comment at this time in relation to an ongoing police investigation.
Football is an inclusive, family-friendly game – no football fan deserves to be subject to any form of abuse while supporting their team.
