🚨 STATEMENT RELEASED: EFL Sanctions Derby County Once Again 🚨
The English Football League (EFL) has announced fresh sanctions against Derby County, releasing a statement this morning ahead of the weekend’s Championship fixtures.
According to the ruling, Derby supporters will no longer be allowed to display derby match banners inside stadiums, and fans have also been warned against abusive chants or hostile messages. The EFL says the measures were introduced following repeated incidents linked to crowd behaviour in recent weeks.
Officials stressed the importance of maintaining order, echoing UEFA’s earlier stance in European football that “riot banners” and aggressive fan displays would not be tolerated.
The announcement has left many Rams fans angered, with one frustrated supporter declaring online:
“Maybe all fans from all clubs in the Championship should pay a visit and protest outside the high tower they have built.”
The EFL insists the decision is aimed at safeguarding the matchday environment, but the move is likely to spark further debate about fan culture and league governance. With Derby already facing challenges in their Championship campaign, this latest sanction adds another layer of tension ahead of the weekend’s fixtures.
