It was like they’d won the World Cup …they didn’t deserve anything from that game…& Unsworth saying they deserved & better team with a great performance…glad he’s not our manager.
And the ref at the end WOW!
We were the better team….bizarre ending

If, as has been reported the ref has said that he ended the game early due to safety concerns, it would seem that the ref 'terminated' the game (due to safety concerns).
If so, this may be relevant.
'Using the powers given him by Law 5, the referee may stop, suspend or terminate the match, at his discretion, for any infringements of the Laws or for grave disorder (see below). If he decides to terminate the match, he must provide the appropriate authorities with a match report which includes information on any disciplinary action taken against players, and/or team officials and any other incidents which occurred before, during or after the match. In no event may the referee determine the winner of any match, terminated or not. Nor may the referee decide whether or not a match must be replayed. Both of those decisions are up to the competition authority, i. e., the league, cup, tournament, etc.'
So it may be that the NL will decide what happens next. The risky precedent on offer to them being that they nod through the result opening the door for other 'fans' to mimic that of the Oldham louts. The wise move would be to either replay the game with no Oldham fans or to award Town the points and a 3:0 (or whatever the norm is) result.
We'll see.

The NL board have no balls, they will probably lay all the blame on Chesterfield

The very least that should happen is Oldham have the point taken off them - whether they give us the two points back is another question. But surely it cannot be that actions of fans determine whether a game gets abandoned and there be no come back on that club.

This is ultimately what's going to happen. They were under our roof, so ultimately we're our responsibility. There should have been enough stewarding to prevent any such action by the away supporters because with so many of them running onto the field of play would ultimately be deemed as a health & safety matter. Which was proven by the push on Tyrer.
The National league will want to make a precedence out of us because we are a big club and it will send a message out to the rest of the league.
I don't agree with it, but I can see it playing out this way.

t plenty of retalliation from our lot their place. Hope not its near the end of season and we dont want any sanctions against our club. We travel in big numbers and our fans always behave exemplory and make the club proud, the whole of the NL who saw the match on BT will realise that the Oldham fans are nobs.

We would have needed 200 stewards lined up with riot shields to physically stop them storming the pitch. It's a near impossible task to prevent it if the mob decides they're going to do it

Our stewards were way more bothered with fans on the Kop to even bother with the away fans. Was a line of 20/30 odd at the front for the last 20 mins or so.
They let all the Oldham fans congregate at the front for the last 10, was always going to happen if they scored, and annoyingly they did
We’ll get in trouble for it but hopefully learn lessons that the Kop nowadays is pretty tame and nobody was even at the front remotely close to going on the pitch

I assume W7 was only sparsely populated. Could have become a real issue if more of our lot had jumped over to confront them.
