Fans face criminal record for pitch invasion

|

invader3West Ham supporters have been warned they face a possible criminal record and a day in court which could result in a football banning order – as well as cancelling the Boleyn Ground closing ceremony if they invade the pitch after the stadium’s final game on Tuesday night.

Police match commander Superintendent Dick Blanchard says any disorder will be met with robust action from the authorities after Sir Trevor Brooking, Captain Mark Noble and co-Chairman David Gold pleaded with fans not to disrupt the club’s ‘Farewell Boleyn’ plans with a pitch invasion.

Superintendent Blanchard said: ’I want to remind supporters that any incidents of disorder or anti-social behaviour on the night will be dealt with robustly by police.’

‘Where criminal offences are committed inside the ground we will seek to work with the club to bring those that break the law to court.’

    Just seen the lineups, Bilic has chosen all the passengers from Swansea and Martial is fit, hope he has got it right but am fearing the worst.

    What if A Man U fan decides to go onto the pitch to spoil our night?
