Would it be possible to bury him under the Fan Zone?

Would it be possible to bury him under the Fan Zone?

Bagsy the first shovelful.

Good statement by the club, the lad is now banned from the ground and asked the police to bring charges.
I'd be surprised if the police do anything mind, if he'd done or said something un-PC they'd be all over it though.

Hopefully the prompt action by the club (and our previous clean history) will mitigate any penalty which may be imposed.

depending on referee's report, then correct the action by the club will mitigate somewhat, but there will still be some kind of penalty, maybe a fine or fine and a sanction.

When we had pitch invaders at one of the first Stockport games after their relagations and police were present at the game, They just took names and address to pass on to their Safety officer and club to deal with.

Especially after his goal on debut!

Lets hope so, I would assume he's not a regular at the ground.

Club could be charged with failure to control spectators I would imagine.. More unneeded paperwork.

You can't control this - unless you bring back perimeter fences, which is not going to happen for obvious reasons. I don't understand why  the league assumes you can.

[AltyTunnelSteward]

Whether in the opinion of certain individuals you can or cannot control this the "rules" seem to specify that a home club must do so

[Hugh]

I suppose you could have members only, like the social club in Partington (or Luton Town in the 80's), although obviously I hope it wouldn't come to that. On occasions like Tuesday night though, it's very difficult to legislate for everything. I seem to remember a bit of aggro when Colwyn Bay decided to let in juveniles for free. And then there was that lad from Stockport (I think) a few years back who just liked streaking. It seems a bit unfair to hold football clubs responsible for society's problems. Short of taking robust action when such incidents do occur - as the club have done - I don't know that there's much more that can be done if someone the club knows nothing about just decides to turn up on the day.
