Major Isewater Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 Didn’t à similar thing happen at the Mem ? The poor bloke was given a five year attendance order. 1 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep a ludicrously long ban for such a minor offence, but?..................the whole point of it being a 5 year ban, is as a deterrent, to stop anyone else trying the same thing! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingswood Robin Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 No sympathy at all, keep off the pitch. See you again when you're 38 and grown up a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerseybean Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 Enjoyed this bit Richard Prew, offering mitigation, said he blamed the Rovers defence rather than the defendant for the late goal. Mr Prew, a lifelong Rovers supporter, said his client had told the police his motivation for running onto the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 Harsh ? Probably. Unexpected ? No , not totally. You know the punishment , why or how you enter the pitch or for what reason makes no difference. You know you will get banned, he even said so himself , so these sentences will happen.

They have to make an example, this man admitted to trying to affect the game/result. If he wasn’t treated harshly it could lead to others attempting the same. Going on the pitch is illegal and potentially carries a punishment, there’s no excuse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
