Shildon AFC is committed to being an inclusive club, and we will not tolerate any racial or homophobic language within our ground or across our social media channels.
Such behaviour is completely at odds with our values. Anyone found to be engaging in it will be removed from our facilities and issued with a ban from the Club.
We have recently been made aware of incidents involving this type of language. Whether or not it is intended to cause offence, it does — and it has no place at Shildon AFC.
We want every person who visits our football club to feel welcome, respected, and safe. We are grateful that the vast majority of our supporters already uphold these standards. However, to the small minority who do not, we ask you to think carefully before you speak or post online. The consequences will be serious for both you and for Shildon AFC.
