Doncaster Rovers facing FA investigation after referee struck by item during Port Vale game
The incident happened as the match official was close to the tunnel during the 2 - 1 home defeat.
Doncaster Rovers are facing an investigation from the FA, after a referee was struck by an object thrown from the stands following the match with Port Vale at the start of the month.
The incident happened as the match official was close to the tunnel during the 2 - 1 home defeat.
It has since been reported to English football's governing body.
The club says it is also investigating allegations of a 'serious incident' following the game on January 4, after fans allegedly entered the tunnel.
Rovers say they'll be stepping up security at the Keepmoat in response, beginning with this weekend's visit of Harrogate Town.
A statement from the club's Head of Safety reads: "Anyone found to be acting in an offensive manner or breaching regulations will be ejected from the stadium and receive an immediate club ban."
"The club remains subject to a Football Association charge following the pitch encroachment and subsequent disorder which took place during the match against Barrow last April.
"Repeated incidents will not be looked upon kindly by the authorities and increase the risk of severe sanctions against the club.
"It is our duty to ensure the safety of all those leaving the field of play at the end of each match.
"Together we must take responsibility to ensure the efforts of those on the pitch are not ruined by the actions of a tiny minority off it."
