This season, the football authorities have declared that if a group rushes near the referee and invades the personal space of officials, at least one player will be penalised.
They also promise to do more to prevent tragedy chanting and disaster-related abuse by instituting strong new measures such as stadium bans and even criminal prosecutions for supporters who are proven guilty.
The Premier League, FA, and Football League have joined forces with the Women's Super League, Women's Championship, National League, and PGMOL to launch a Participant Charter aimed at improving player and spectator conduct.
The FA has promised that match officials would be given more authority to adopt harsher disciplinary sanctions. When players surround the referee or his assistants, for example, at least one will be issued a yellow card, and the FA may opt to take further action.
A new technical area code will be implemented, as agreed upon by the PFA and LMA, and repeat violators may face increased sanctions. To decrease the number and magnitude of confrontations, only two members of a coaching staff will be permitted to stand at the same time, with only one near the pitch.
There is a larger effort to root out football tragedy abuse, which the governing bodies have labelled "totally unacceptable," with a focus on unpleasant chanting, posturing, and the exhibition of offensive messages that can disturb victims and their relatives.
Football officials will collaborate with police to locate down and penalise perpetrators, and ground rules have been revised to include tragic chanting.
"Football has the power to unite and inspire all who play and watch the game," said FA chief executive Mark Bullingham. However, a small percentage of players, coaches, and spectators can have a detrimental influence on this. Our collaborative strategy is to re-establish this attitude on the pitch and from the stands, while also providing our referees with the respect and protection they deserve."
Under the 'Love Football Protect the Game' banner, an education campaign will be launched to educate people about the harm that tragic yelling may create.
"We strongly believe there is no room for abhorrent tragedy abuse in football," Premier League chief executive Richard Masters stated.
"We are sending a clear message that we demand so-called fans stop this vile behaviour of a minority that has a terrible impact on the bereaved and communities," said Douglas Mackay, Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor and Sports National Lead Prosecutor. If they don't, they risk getting kicked out of the game they profess to enjoy."
In June, a Tottenham fan was handed a three-year penalty for ridiculing the Hillsborough catastrophe, while a Manchester United fan was given a four-year ban for wearing an inflammatory jersey referencing the 1989 disaster during the FA Cup final.
In April, a guy who blasted abusive tweets about the Hillsborough disaster, which claimed 97 people, received a suspended jail term.
