Brentford announce fan behaviour sanctions for first half of 2025/26 season | OneFootball

Brentford Football Club today provides a mid-2025/26 season update on reported fan behaviour incidents and a summary of cases and sanctions.

The club publishes these updates regularly to provide transparency on the action we take to listen and act in response to incidents at Gtech Community Stadium and at away games.

From the start of pre-season up to and including the Tottenham Hotspur game on 1 January, the club issued 205 individuals with sanctions due to various fan behaviour incidents.

Of this number:

In addition, 15 people were given a football banning order or received a fine through the courts.

Of those sanctioned, the majority relate to away supporters, and there were further incidents where a club-issued match ban or sanction wasn’t applicable.

The 220 sanctioned offences are broken down as follows:

*Ground regulations and ticket conditions include but are not limited to: drinking in view of the pitch; smoking in the stadium; away fans in home areas; failure to comply with stewards; intoxication

These findings show an increase in the number of sanctions compared to the same point last season, which we believe represents a growing confidence among fans in how to report misbehaviour and an increased belief that the club will deal with incidents.

Dedicated communications before and during matches have helped raise awareness of the multiple methods fans can use to report incidents on matchdays. The introduction of free stadium wi-fi has further helped overcome weak connectivity as a barrier to making a report during the match.

How to make a report while at the match

We’d like to reiterate to all fans that if you see misbehaviour in the stadium, the best course of action is to report it immediately and not wait until after the match.

Making a report during the match means our security team can investigate incidents in real-time and take swift action to prevent any further disruption to your matchday, or before incidents escalate.

To report an incident at the Gtech:

Keeping the Gtech a welcoming place for all

Our priority is to ensure that the Gtech is a safe and welcoming environment for everyone on a matchday.

Brentford has a zero tolerance towards drug usage, any form of hate crime, discrimination or violence. Our dedicated safety and security teams work with the relevant authorities to ensure that this behaviour has no place in our stadium.

During our time in the Premier League, Brentford has consistently ranked as among the most welcoming stadiums in the Premier League’s annual matchday experience survey. This is a record we are proud of, and we ask our supporters to continue to use our quick and simple reporting channels to assist us in rooting out misbehaviour, helping to keep the Gtech a safe environment for all fans.
