Supporter Information: Watford v Huddersfield Town
The We campaign – now into its fourth season – has provided a clearer route for supporters to report incidents of discrimination, excessive anti-social behaviour or safeguarding issues, which led to a record number of reports last season (58). As a result of feedback received from those who made a report during 2021/22, we have changed the number to make it even easier to report issues. Please text ‘We’, followed by seat numbers and details, to 66777 straight away.
Our team will then investigate and take action accordingly. The same details will be used at all Watford FC men’s and women’s matches, and Community Trust events, so please work with us to make our stadiums and events enjoyable for all supporters. Click HERE[1] for more information.
Love Football. Protect The Game. The Hornets have backed the introduction of strong measures across football to tackle antisocial and criminal behaviours within football grounds.
This includes entering the pitch without permission, carrying or using smoke devices or pyros and throwing objects onto the pitch, as well as discriminatory behaviour and taking drugs. For everyone’s safety, Watford FC will report anyone carrying out these offences to the police. Click HERE[2] for more information.
The FA, Premier League, EFL & WSL recently released a joint statement reiterating their zero-tolerance stance on the use of pyrotechnics at football stadiums. Click HERE[3] for further details. Use of the ‘G-word’
Here at Watford FC, we regard ourselves as ‘The Original Family Club’. While it’s a pleasant tag to use, it’s a statement deliberately made to invite scrutiny and measure of our work to be as inclusive a club as possible. While we certainly would not want to dampen anyone’s enthusiasm during a game, and we encourage you to be noisy in your support of the team, we’d like to remind everyone that use of the ‘G-word’ in chants is both contrary to our image and deeply offensive.
It would also be classed as a hate crime in the eyes of the law and as such, could result in arrest and ejection from Vicarage Road. Everyone, regardless of their background or beliefs, should feel truly welcome to be part of or associated with our club, so please help us ensure Vicarage Road remains free of racial abuse. Smoking
