PeteG Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Didn't one of our fans get a 3 year ban from the courts for jumping over the advertising hoardings at Bury a few years just to celebrate a goal? He was hardly causing much of an issue but was prosecuted. Suppose it depends on the mood of the police on any given day. My point is, I wouldn't be rushing to write in as some suggested saying I was on the pitch please ban me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an offence to go on the pitch. But context must be applied somewhere - they won't be prosecuting Exeter fans for running on the pitch after they got promoted. Or for any fans running on the pitch to celebrate a last minute goal. It seems the punishment is up to £1000 fine and if that happens then the courts must impose a banning order if "they think there are reasonable grounds to believe that imposing such an Order would help to prevent violence or disorder at football matches." The whole wording of that seems to be more about individual behaviour rather than being applicable to mass protest action. Hopefully @deyres42 is right and this only even becomes about the club banning fans from home games. Which will be more likely to receive a thank you note in response than an appeal.

Seriously might be a good idea to call a halt to any pitch invasions for now. We've made out point from here and we can continue to do that from the stands for our final 2 league games. Their will be plenty of media attention on these final 2 games I think its quite important now we try and leave the football league with some dignity. Dress in black and sing like bastards for the game at Tranmere do something similar for Crawley. But let's call a halt to pitch invasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came back to BP to support the Shezzurection and enjoyed the efforts of the Athleticos and the positive atmosphere over the recet weeks. However it looks like BP will become like North fucking Korea again just like early season. Will just stay outside or maybe in the local hostelries, can't be arsed with all that rigmarole & intimidation, used to get treated like shit through the 70s and 80s as a football fan, am 60 now and just can't be arsed anymore with that sort of treatment. Will happily return to BP once these twats have gone (if they ever do). Wishing all Latics fans who are prepared to put up with this stuff all the best in the future, hopefully might see you all again soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we allowed to say that nowadays. Remember the fans in the RRE singing "Sumo" to the police Sgt from Oldham - he used to laugh back! Oh for those days again. The police don't arrest anybody in situ nowadays - just gather intelligence and then arrest later. Cowards - utter cowards - reflect the way society has gone.

Was a disgrace that Yarddog, If we are going to be kept behind, makes sense to leave us in the stadium instead of being cattled into an area outside the ground. Then people can use toilets etc. if required whilst being kept in for 30/40 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how the processes work I guess - would GMP just record the complaint, meet evidence threshold and pass it to the CPS for prosecution? Surely context has to be applied somewhere before criminal records are issued? Or am I being too optimistic about how football fans are treated by the police and courts?! farrrrr too optimistic. the police go out of their way to push Football related stuff bc it looks good to their bosses and it's an easy win.
