A statement from the club said: “The club is currently reviewing CCTV footage and details of any person seen throwing an object will be passed to the Police for potential investigation and will receive an immediate stadium ban.

“The club will also consider closing the terrace immediately behind the dugout for future matches, as has been the case in the past.”

Newport added: “We would like to remind our fans once again that this behavior is completely unacceptable and dangerous and we will maintain our zero tolerance policy going forward.”
