Young Pitch Invader

Slap on the wrist or will person incharge and young boy now be kissing goodbye to their play-off tickets?

Zero tollerance is zero tollerance isn't it?

He certainly wasn't man handled like your usual older aged pitch invader is
 
He was a young lad but old enough to know better. The steward was in a difficult situation, between a rock and a hard place. He held him and you could see there was a 'WTF do I do now?' situation.

Personally I feel he should be punished in some way because rules are rules and if he is let off with a slap on the wrist that opens the floodgates for the sort of regular incursions we saw last season.

The parents also have to take some responsibility. Last season we had 'proud' fathers patting their sons on the back making things worse. I hope this young lads father sets a better example and chastises him.

Yeah - if we don’t act we will get an invasion of people running on the pitch.
Anyone young should be in the first flight to Rwanda

Did anyone ever tell you sarcasm is the lowest form of wit? Would you rather see a repeat of last seasons antics and it to become a free for all which it was becoming? Children running on the pitch to take photos with their heroes?

Maybe it would please you if the club is eventually fined for not keeping their fans in order? Or would you prefer points to be docked?

Not sure how I managed to totally miss this? Was it after full time? Zero tolerance

Full time as the players started to gather to do their lap of appreciation.

The steward caught him very quickly and just kept him in place for a minute or two, presumably until he'd calmed down.
He must have been early teens.

I think the club has made a rod for their own back with their comments on this happening in the past when they said bans would be handed out. No one wants young supporters banned but at the same time, we cannot go back to how it was when kids entered the field of play during games.

I do. Age isn’t relevant. I’ve been going since I was a kid and managed not to enter the field, why should a teenager get away with it? There have been countless warnings.

Old enough to know better. Zero tolerance should mean exactly that. Once you allow one to get away with it you get the fiasco of last season when it became a weekly event
 
His dad was identified by the stewards and was kicking off. The boy was taken to the north west corner and his dad was kicking off. Stewards were assisting him through the tunnel. They will probably both get bans…
