CLUB STATEMENT: OBJECTS BEING THROWN ONTO THE PITCH
The Club has released the following statement following the fixture against Swansea City on Saturday 7 November
Wednesday, 11 November 2026
St. Andrew's
The Club would like to thank the overwhelming majority of supporters for the passion, energy and backing you showed on Saturday at our Remembrance Day fixture against Swansea City. It helped the team deliver a great result.
However, the actions of a very small minority cast a shadow over the day. Several objects were thrown onto the pitch from the Tilton End. This is completely unacceptable. There is no place for this behaviour at Birmingham City Football Club.
The incidents were reported by the referee to the Football Association who have contacted the Club for an explanation of the events. The Club is working closely with the police and assisting them with their enquiries.
We will support the police with its investigations to ensure the appropriate action is taken against anyone who is identified to have broken the law.
Together, the Club and our supporters, guided by the Supporter Charter, have made significant progress in improving matchday behaviour, both inside and outside the stadium. This progress has been recognised by the EFL and our law enforcement partners.
It is something all Blues supporters should be proud of, but what happened on Saturday was a step backwards.
The vast majority of Blues supporters represent this Club with pride, passion, and respect. Behaviour that puts the Club's reputation at risk lets those supporters and everyone at the Club down. We can’t let this happen again.
If you witness unacceptable behaviour, please scan the 'Don't Ignore It. Report It' QR code visible across the Stadium or text 88440. This will enable the match day team to act quickly and effectively.
Together, we can ensure St. Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park remains a passionate and safe environment for everyo
