"The club condemns the scenes in and around the ground on Friday night and has cooperated fully with the Disciplinary Control Unit of the FAI. "This behaviour continues to have a direct financial impact to the club as well a health and safety risk to all spectators. The Derry City FC spokesperson added: "This is highly unfortunate and not a move the club takes lightly. It has however been forced on the club due to those recent events.
"When final decisions have been made, the club will be in contact with impacted season ticket holders."
