Ian Holloway, the Swindon Town manager, has expressed his strong disapproval of the fan's behaviour. He stated that such actions are unacceptable and that he will personally ensure that the individual responsible is brought to justice.

The club is also working closely with Walsall FC and the relevant local authorities to identify those responsible for other serious incidents, including the use of pyrotechnics, objects being thrown, abuse directed at stewards, staff, players, and match officials, as well as damage caused to stadium property.

Swindon Town is appalled by the behaviour of a minority of their fans during the match and has promised that anyone found to have engaged in such actions will face severe consequences, including banning orders and legal action where appropriate.
