The Football Association, Premier League and EFL have condemned 'unacceptable events' in stadiums with the three bodies issuing a joint statement warning supporters they could face criminal convinctions.

The organisations have released a joint statement following a recent rise in crowd trouble.

National League System, PGMOL, LMA, FSA and the UK Football Policing Unit also backed the joint statement.

Crowd trouble marred West Brom and Wolves match at the Hawthorns on Saturday, which led to the FA Cup tie being halted for 30 minutes amid disturbing scenes.

Six arrests were made and play suspended when trouble broke out at the West Brom versus Wolves Black Country derby in the FA Cup.
