Wrexham AFC are appealing for witnesses after a report of a criminal offence being committed during the second-half of the match away to Accrington Stanley.

The match officials have reported missiles were thrown from the away terrace at Accrington goalkeeper Jon McCracken.

The action of a very small minority of attendees could have a big impact on the Football Club, in the form of potential disciplinary action, increased policing costs and reduced ticket allocations for future games.

As a result, we are asking any supporters with information that may assist ourselves and the police with our enquiries to contact the club on info@wrexhamafc.co.uk.

We have a zero-tolerance approach to unacceptable behaviour at Wrexham AFC matches, home or away. We have been delighted by the fantastic support we have received this season, and would like to thank all involved for that. However, we would like to remind all people attending matches that anybody found guilty of engaging in unacceptable behaviour will face the strictest punishments available to us as a Football Club.

I thought Accrington paid for a small army of police officers for this game, hence the need to ramp up the prices?

...hard to stop knob-ends throwing vapes at opposing players even with a small army of coppers and security.

Mr Holt is just going to love this

Even harder to stop when the small army didn't exist anyway

It was cringe watching it happen - not as cringe as people saying football isn’t a ‘family sport’ or not to be ‘grasses’ but cringe none the less

So are you grassing?

Disgusted by the actions of a couple of idiots behind the goal even if they were provoked by the deliberate and unsporting behaviour of the keeper and a couple of their players who told him to stay down to waste time after a fairly innocuous challenge.

I saw an Accrington player gob on a Wrexham fan. Is this the offence in question?
