Fleetwood Town Football Club is a central part of the local community, contributing towards the quality of life of many people and has the ability to foster community cohesion throughout the town and wider community.
Football also has the unique ability to bring people together from a wide range of different communities and can provide opportunities for all sections of the community to engage with the football club and participate in the community activities provided by our official charity, Fleetwood Town Community Trust.
Fleetwood Town Football Club is committed to promoting equality by treating people fairly and with respect; by recognising inequalities exist, by taking steps to address them and by providing access and opportunities for all members of the community.
Our commitment is to eliminate discrimination on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, marital or civil partnership status, gender reassignment, race (which includes colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin), religion or belief, disability, pregnancy and maternity or age. These are the protected characteristics of the Equality Act 2010.
We will ensure that we treat people fairly and with respect and that we will provide access and opportunities for all members of the community to take part in, and enjoy, our activities.
We support the EFL's Together Strategy, uniting all aspects of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and are dedicated to maintaining full compliance through Code of Practice (COP).
Reporting Discriminative Behaviour
On matchdays we expect all fans to adhere to the EFL Ground Regulations and our ticket terms and conditions. Abusive or discriminatory language and behaviour is not acceptable. Everyone attending or taking part in a football match has the right to feel safe, valued and included and we encourage supporters to continue to play their part in this.
We would add that for players and staff, the stadium is their place of work, and derogatory abuse is not acceptable there, or anywhere else in football, nor wider society.
You can report any discriminative behaviour by speaking to your nearest steward, or alternatively email: info@fleetwoodtownfc.com or text: 07388997153
