A ban for the rest of the season, or to the end of the next would suffice. The club should then lay down the rules for the rest of us if the pitch is entered again (5 years is a deterent?). Has anyone started a supporter petition that can be sent to the club? Have people contacted the FST or that new quango supporters body elected by the club? Your comparrison to the Manchester Airport incident: that's a grossly false equivalent that I guess you might find on any right wing social media account.

SOS said the guy wants nothing like this until the episode is finished (presumably cos the club get nastier the more support a fan gets) (NT) -- woodman, Wednesday, November 20, 02:28:44pm (NoHost/57.140.20.9)

Yes thats exactly it - which i believe is in mid december. Once that's happened i understand he'll be looking at his options. But there was clearly no mal-intent (as can be evidenced by the players reactions to him), so 5 years just seems ludicrous to me - and i'd hold that viewpoint whether i knew the individual or not.

- Plus a court case ffs! I have first hand experience how the club tries to grind you down if they don’t like you. Sadly some fellow ‘fans’ try to help them…… (NT) -- woodman, Wednesday, November 20, 03:12:34pm (NoHost/45.88.60.61)
- So the player involved gets a yellow, and the supporter gets 5 years. Next up a new ruling, player gets straight red for inciting the crowd and the club gets a 10 point deduction on two counts…1).inadequate stewardship facilitating fans to access or invade the pitch and 2) failure to control the behaviour player/s. Oh the joy of supporters and players being conditioned to avoid unnecessary enthusiasm and exhibiting over zealous celebrations. Message to us all, just get those clappers clapping.

- It's a harsh reaction from the club, but I'm wondering if they are trying to look tough in order to appease the authorities etc, whilst also putting all the responsibility on to the individual offender. The great majority of us know not to enter the pitch, no matter what the emotion of a situation. Obviously this guy's emotion bypassed his reason.

  - "The great majority of us know not to enter the pitch." Do we? Tell that to the hundreds (thousands?) who ran on the pitch (twice!) at the end of the last Championship promotion season... (NT) -- G, Wednesday, November 20, 05:46:45pm (NoHost/90.213.242.75)
    - It was around that time that there was a flurry of pitch invasions including the one at Forest when Billy Sharp was headbutted by a fan on the pitch. That led to the new dictate of strict adherence to existing regulations. From July 2022 the authorities decreed that mandatory bans plus prosecutions would be the default response. The Football Supporters Assoc fully backed this stance. I’d Imagine any club that openly flouts that dictate would get into a lot of trouble itself.

    - Well 24930 didn't. Your example - end of the season, end of game. The club kind of expect it. Like others on this site, I was at the Baseball Ground in 83. That wasn't a great experience, and it was infuriating to see Robert Wilson get kicked by a Derby Fan. This obviously is not comparable to what the fella did at the Brentford game, as he showed only joy and no mallice, but it is perhaps an example why no supporters should be on the pitch whilst the game is still in play.
