What a flippin idiot

Expensive day out on the. p!ss

He was fined £400, with £85 costs and £40 surcharge and also banned from attending football for three years. Sounds like the punishment for an assault or serious public order offence.


But no, only at football would you receive such draconian punishment for some ambiguous summary offence of 'going on to the playing area at a football match' which he pleaded guilty to.

I don't like Swindon at all, but I think this is ridiculously harsh.

I think the fine, costs etc are enough of a deterrent. A three year banning order I believe merely confirms my view of magistrates.
Blue rinse middle class tossers.

Well obviously didn't put off this idiot

You said it Jim, idiot.

Banning orders for thugs, absolutely. Banning orders for idiots, I don't think so.

Jim, there were Everton fans on the pitch last night, their stewards just push them back into the stands. Same happens at Anfield and at a lot of lower league clubs in Cup games. From what I saw he ran the entire length of the pitch to the Swindon players, no gesturing or inciting our fans.

Unfortunately this is a left over legacy from the Taylor Report that cast all football fans as undesirables.
Its taken 32 years for fans to be considered civilised enough to stand at top flight football, but this kind of miscarriage is still happening.

Wonder if their 'small' ticket allocation means this fool was a season ticket holder. That could be another £300 down the pan.

Minchinhampton is Forest Green Rovers territory. Could have been supporting a proper football team

As a matter of comparison, what did those 2 guys get for being on the pitch against Wales in the Boks and NZ games?

Just a ban from the Millennium Stadium. A registered rugby club player - did it for a £20 bet.
