The charges come just days before the Coasters take their place in the top tier of English non-league football with a home match against Boreham Wood on Saturday.

AFC Fylde manager Dave Challinor has already said that the people involved could be on the verge of learning a 'harsh lesson'.

The five indivuals concerned have not been named and no-one at the club was available for comment.

Club chairman David Haythornthwaite was said to be away on holiday.
