Noticess requesting the cessation of foul language and the possible banning of perpetrators has been published in Hendon programmes for many years; I recall seeing such notices in programmes back in the early 1950s!

Obviously I don't have every home programme to check, but I would guess that it's probably occurred at least twice in most seasons since 1950.

Such notices also appear in other clubs' programmes. Now I know that most people don't buy a programme and therefore won't see the notice when published, but almost every club has one or notices posted inside and/or just outside the ground, and, as John says, such notices include a clause that refers to foul language amongst other things.

Simon's original request is basically no different to the notices that have appeared in our programmes for more than 60 years, except that he chose to publish it on the website.
