Mariners Respects

We’re proud of the fantastic support our supporters provide, home and away. We also recognise that most fans attend matches to enjoy the game in a welcoming and inclusive environment.

Abusive or indecent language, as well as any discriminatory or threatening behaviour – including racist, homophobic, sexist, sectarian, xenophobic or anti-disability chanting or actions – has no place at our games.

The Club may issue bans, including indefinite bans, to anyone found to have engaged in discriminatory language or violent behaviour.

We look forward to seeing the Mariners well backed once again on the road.
