“Electric City FC are delighted to welcome The Current 1819 back to Fleming Field for this weekend’s ECFC Men’s game against the Woodbridge Strikers as the team prepares for the playoffs!
We thank them for their support and cooperation during the investigation which is now coming to an end with an official statement expected by the League and the two Clubs next week. We would also like to thank The Current 1819 management and its members for working with us to ensure that we create a positive, enjoyable and exciting ECFC game day experience for all. – Electric City Football Club
“The Current 1819 set out from the start as an inclusive group of passionate football supporters. Our goal is to create an environment where our players feel supported, and visiting teams dread coming because they know we are the 12th person on our team.
However, there is a line. We strongly condemn any act of racism or fanaticism.
The Code of Conduct which covers fan behavior at Fleming Stadium was co-created by Electric City FC and Current. Any individual member found in violation will be asked to leave the stadium on the side of the group and the supporters. It’s been our policy since the first home game. None of our members, nor any of the security personnel in our section were aware of any racist language from the Current last night. The Current will fully support the club and League One Ontario in any investigation into last night’s allegations as racism has no place in football. – David Barney, The Current 1819
