Club Statement on Pitch Invaders

Xero Tolerance.


During our game on Saturday against Stoke City a child entered the field of play while the match was in progress, trivialising the importance of the game to our fans, town, players and management.

He was encouraged to do so by his father who recorded the incident on his mobile phone.

On returning to his father our staff asked that they exit the stadium, only to be subject to abusive and threatening behaviour.

Entering the pitch while the game is in progress will not be tolerated.

Abusive and threatening behaviour to our staff will not be tolerated.

To enter the pitch at any time is a criminal offence as is abusive and threatening behaviour.

The father and child have been identified and with immediate effect the father is banned from the Riverside Stadium for life.

We will encourage the police to take further action.

After the game four further incursions took place by children. All of whom have been identified and whose parents face banning orders from the Riverside


 
Well done MFC 👏

That incursion could eventually cost Boro a shot at promotion via the play-offs, vital revenue and potential £M’s if goal difference came into play. I hope the father is named and shamed in the papers, social media etc and the Police need to prosecute.

Not the defeat by Hull and Huddersfield then? The misses from 3 yards out, our goalie forgetting he was a Goalie, FFS give the kid a break.
 
I think life is overboard. Maybe .3 year ban and a dressing down and education on why it was wrong. Kid wont attend match with his father again.
 
I doubt he’s got a lifetime banned for his kid going on to the pitch more likely for abusing and been aggressive towards Mfc staff.

The moron has been banned for his totally selfish cretinous behavior and I would have banned the kid too !
Maybe too far especially if Dad was encouraging him to do it.
Definitely dad should be banned, he had the chance to walk out of the stadium with no further repercussions but instead wanted to be a d**k about it.
