Does seem harsh to be honest

Agree with this, I can never understand why a club is held responsible for this type of thing, A club can't foresee how fans behave, The fans know the rules (Aren't they in matchday programmes and around the grounds?) Also the club has provided all the CCTV, assisted in helping identify the culprits, Can't really see what else they could of done.

Reading between the lines it seems like the critical issue was that the stewards didn't eject the supporters.
"We accept that the two individuals involved could have been removed from the stadium immediately ..."

Be interesting to see how the appeal goes.

Interesting the cost of match day stewards in the article. You can probably double that for games at SJP.

Bury lost in the final of the play off final of the NWCFL Premier Division. One of the Wythenshawe teams were promoted (Town I think as Utd had already been promoted).
