Western Wanderers fans have been warned by team management that the RBB will be shut down indefinitely if they engage in any further ant-social behaviour.

Just days out from taking on EPL giants Arsenal in front of 80-thousand fans at ANZ Stadium, club CEO John Tsatsimas sent out a strongly worded letter to members about their behaviour.

Tsatsimas outlined how the RBB has cost the club thousands of dollars with its history of pitch invasions, igniting flares and poor behaviour leaving a bad taste in management’s mouth.

The Club CEO also mentioned such behaviour from fans will not be tolerated moving forward because of the cost to the club’s reputation.

Tsatsimas says if the club has to shut down the RBB it will and may move non-offending members to other seats in the stadium should anymore incidents occur.

“Notice is hereby given that should any of these incidents happen this season, including use of flares or other incendiary devices, violence, pitch invasion, discriminatory behaviour or acts that constitute a failure to live up to the terms of admission into the venue, then the club reserves the right to close down the active support area for an indefinite period as outlined by the club which will lead to the redeployment of non-offending members to other available seating in the stadiums during this closure,” Tsatsimas said.

Western Sydney had a suspended sentence hanging over its head last year and were nearly deducted points following a crude banner displayed against Sydney FC, with the club copping a $20,000 fine instead.
