Prescot Cables strongly condemns the behaviour of a minority of spectators at last night's game against City of Liverpool. Specifically, the personal abuse directed at City of Liverpool manager Paul McNally and his wife and children who were present at the game.

Over 1300 fans watched both teams play out a fiercely competed Derby game, with City of Liverpool grabbing a late goal to take a share of the points.

The atmosphere at the game was as you would expect at a derby game. Lots of 'banter' between rival sets of fans enjoying the game.

However abuse of the nature witnessed last night by this minority cannot be condoned, and must stop. This was not banter. The club will now be forced to investigate this incident further and will issue bans to individuals identified as being responsible.

The hard work that the players, management team, volunteers and the directors put in to make nights like last night happen are being seriously jeopardised by these individuals who have no place at our club, nor do they represent our values.

Prescot Cables as a club has always prided itself on it being a 'family', with everyone being welcomed into the ground on matchdays to enjoy the atmosphere that fans create on matchdays.

The club takes a firm stance on antisocial behaviour including abuse and discrimination of any kind. We would encourage fans to work with us to ensure that incidents like the one that occurred last night do not happen again.

The club would like to publicly go on record in apologising to City of Liverpool officials, First Team Manager Paul McNally, his wife and his family for the abuse suffered last night.
