Will all the other teams thru the various leagues be given the same treatment,are we ourselves looking at a fine...

And what as football come to, if you can't celebrate with the players, what they've been playing for all season ?

And how precisely are they or any club supposed to stop it? You would need an entirely impractical number of stewards/police to stop it. Though I suppose it's easier with only 3 sides.

I've just checked the calendar and it isn't April 1st so unless they've sacrificed a virgin on the pitch, hardly likely in Scabfield, then I think it's officialdom gone off the rails.

The commission won't be happy until all grounds have 4 metre chain link fencing around all pitches, and players have to enter the pitch through a locked gate. What is it coming to. Health and safety gone mad yet again.

Perhaps there was concerns that any player not wearing red and white may have been assaulted!!

Fencing died at Bradford along with the poor sods caught up in those terrible scenes. I for one, don't want to ever witness scenes like that and Hillsborough ever again.

It was a good job supporters were able to get on the pitch at Bradford that day.

The PC,H and S are justifying their existence with all this regulation. It doesn?t have any effect in the car park after the end of the game, there are always ?I?m first? motorists moving out of their parking space to be first in the queue.

A risk assessment carried out on a football ground wouldn't be able to justify fencing around the pitch.
As for car parking, you'll never stop the odd selfish idiot from wanting to get out at the head of the queue.

Build a moat around the pitch. With crocodiles in it.

In fairness to them, they were celebrating their first foray into the 3rd tier in 20 years, they were bound to get giddy. However, I did hear a rumour that the reason for the mass pitch invasion was that Carolyn was handing out free blowies in the centre circle, so who knows?

Put a row of wash basins around the pitch. That'll scare them away.

Even better, posters of job offers, they?ll run a mile.

Was the notion of fines well publicised, because I can't remember seeing owt🤔. I'm wondering if they've been fined because the probation service couldn't track that many tags in such a small area 🤣🤣🤣.
