Leeds pitch invasion

[OAKY WHITE]

Just thought i would let you know that the 9 year old kid who invaded the pitch has received a 12 month ban along with his dad, also heard some of your lads that were on the pitch got 3 year banning orders which seems a bit harsh, can anyone confirm it from your end and best wishes on the rest of the season.

Sounds a bit harsh on the lad - I thought it was funny myself.

 

[radiogrecian]

Pleased to hear it.

I guess what the little fella had in pace and nimble footed trickery he lacked in timing. Given the subsequent events at West Ham v Millwall, a bit of a clampdown on pitch invasions and the like is inevitable.

 

[Gozzer]

I am sure that when he has served his ban, he will be older and wiser .

The thing that impressed me most was that he was the spit of the Milky Bar Kid.#





# I am easily impressed.

Might sound a bit harsh, but sends a message to the parents more than anything I think.

 

[Jason H]

Funny thing is (or not), if he had instead gone off and torched a building or even killed someone, no punishment would have been allowed as he is under the age of responsibility.

I am still awaiting my ban for going on the pitch in an away game against Torquay. We won 2 nil and I seem to recall about 10 others being banned. They didn't get me though.

 

[Alan Crockford]

If ECFC banned every City fan who's been on the pitch at Torquay our crowds would be even lower than theirs

Thankfully, there is a public right of way across Plainmoor, so everyone's fine.
