A 'chef' was sacked while working at a League One game this weekend, after claiming he was going to try and poison rival fans. 

While working at Bristol Rovers' game against Gillingham on Saturday, the man, who claims to support Rovers' rivals Bristol City, posted online saying he was going to deliberately undercook the food served at the Memorial Stadium.

He also posted a picture of his view of the pitch alongside the message on social media.

'At work.. think am going to poison the whole lot of rovers fan today..' he wrote. 'Can't be bothered to cook everything is going to be undercooked today.. how many people going to have the s****... Best news is am in the away end.. so no looking at inbreed *****.. here the view I got for the next 7 hours'

However, the man was sacked before kick off after someone at the club noticed his post.

He posted again later to claim it was 'a joke' and offering his services as 'a chef'. 

'How many likes can I get... I was fired today for putting up a post about the gas... Got called in office and sent home at 3pm.... Were Bristol City and we do what we want..... Can't take a joke..... Any one need a chef....'

The club confirmed that the fan had been escorted from the ground by security and insisted that he was not an employee of the club, but rather a member of agency staff brought in for the game.

The man later said he was sent home, and claimed that it had been 'a joke'

They also said that criminal proceedings could be taken against him, although Avon and Somerset Constabulary confirmed to Sportsmail that neither the club nor the agency have yet reported the incident to the police.

A Bristol Rovers spokesman said: 'On Saturday, prior to our match against Gillingham, someone purporting to be a Memorial Stadium employee posted on Facebook that he intended to harm supporters by tampering with their food.

'This matter was drawn to the attention of our security staff who escorted that person from the premises.

'The person involved is not a Memorial Stadium employee but one of the agency staff we employ on match days.

'The agency has been informed of the matter and it's possible that criminal proceedings will be taken against the person involved.

'We take the safety of all supporters very seriously and were able to take swift action on Saturday to prevent anyone coming to harm.'
