CLUB STATEMENT The club would like to address rumours circulating on social media regarding unacceptable behaviour following today’s game away to Seaham Red Star. After a brief investigation, we can confirm that Billingham Town supporter Phil Smith has received a lifetime ban from the club and has been reported to the Northern League, The FA and Cleveland Police. Although we are delighted to see Town win, and appreciate that celebrations can occasionally go a little too far, ordering a strawberry daiquiri in a pub, with the lads, on a matchday cannot—and will not—be tolerated. Furthermore, to ensure the club does not encourage similar behaviour in future, lager tops will no longer be served in the clubhouse. The club considers the matter closed. #UTT
