Ramsgate announce segregation measures

Monday 11th September 2006

Ramsgate chairman Richard Lawson has today announced that segregation will be introduced at Southwood Stadium for the Westview Cup second round tie against Thanet neighbours Margate on Tuesday night.

In a statement issued today, Mr Lawson confirmed segregation was the best policy.
He said: “Having spoken to the safety advisors at both Ramsgate and Margate football clubs, and the relevant officials, we feel that it will be prudent to segregate on Tuesday night.

“Bearing in mind recent incidents of trouble throughout the area, particularly in Broadstairs, we want to make sure there are no incidents that could propogate the problems that have been happening.

”Both clubs are looking forward to the game and want it to go off incident-free, and we both feel this is the message we want to send to our supporters.

”So segregation will happen on Tuesday night and we ask all true supporters of both clubs to work with us and we will ensure that the match goes off incident-free."
