Fan who threw flare given a day to come forward
WORTHING FCA non-league football club has told a supporter who threw a flare onto the pitch that they have a day to come forward, "otherwise we'll come and find you".
The incident happened at Worthing FC's Sussex Transport Community Stadium during an Easter Monday match against Dorking Wanderers in the National League South.
In a social media post, Dorking Wanderers apologised, stating it "won't stand for this type of conduct, not on our badge".
The club promised that the spectator would be found if they do not voluntarily confess.
The statement, from Dorking chief executive Jonathan Bines, said: "Embarrassing for us as a club.
"Whoever was responsible, you have the option to come forward by midday tomorrow, otherwise we'll come and find you anyway. Plenty of people saw you do it, so it won't take us too long.
"And anyone else associated with this and any other anti-social behaviour, you're also welcome to come forward before we find you.
"We are a family club and always will be."
The attendance at the match, which ended 1-1, was 2,992.
