One of the best performances since 2014 promotion looked like the York fan on the pitch was very close to assaulting their manager , scandalous he should be banned by them
It was a pretty stupid thing for the York fan to do, but I don’t think our own stewards covered themselves in glory either.
I understand that if someone is determined to jump over a barrier and run onto a pitch, then preventing it is difficult. However, it’s worrying that he was able to get all the way from the goal to the dugout completely unchallenged, while the stewards looked on bewildered.
Then, even when the lad was abusing the manager in front of the dug out, it was left to the assistant and the physio to try and restrain him, before they actually had to ask the nearest stewards to come and get him. It was all a bit embarrassing, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was included in the refs report.
It’s hardly the most important part of the match (I’d much prefer to have decent players than decent stewards!), but if we are going to serve alcohol throughout the bigger games, then it’s important to make sure that adequate crowd safety measures are put in place before someone gets hurt.
Only caught the last 10 mins of the game, but that third goal was superb.
