Fan observes matches from the stands

The fan of the Epsom & Ewell football club, Richard Lambert, 58 years old, supports his team from the stands after he was banned for a lengthy period from attending matches. This ban was imposed due to his critical comments about the club on social media.

Lambert has been supporting the team for 44 years, but starting from January 2025, he may not be able to attend matches due to a conflict with the club's management. He asserts that the ban was a consequence of his actions on social media, including changing the name of his account to one that resembles the official club account.

The Epsom & Ewell club does not provide detailed information about the reasons for the ban, stating that it is an internal matter. They assert that the ban will be permanent for life, and that Lambert has not been informed about it.

He remains loyal to his team

After the ban, Lambert continues to support the club, observing matches from the stands near the stadium. He emphasizes that he wants to see changes in the club's culture regarding treatment of fans.

Lambert has also been a club historian for 20 years and continues to write match reports, even from the stands. He plans to continue supporting from the stands as long as he is physically able.

Last season, the club had nearly 90 spectators at home matches, to which Lambert added his support from the stands.
