Apology to the club

If I was in your shoes right now its the injustice that you were involved in the Robin Olsen saga and riling up their fans which would hurt. So if you were absolutely not involved in any of these two points then I’d want to appeal. Even if your ban wasn’t reduced at least it would look favourable on your side to getting back in with the club when your ban expires.

@meldrew sorry I’m not sure how you set up a go fund me page.
keep talking, keep your chin up.
I would definitely get in touch with Amanda Jacks at the FSA, very experienced in court appearances and appeals. Its free so @meldrew has nothing to lose. Certainly it would appear the Olsen ‘assault’ which he had nothing to do with and the whole media landscape around pitch invasions and assaults at other grounds has informed a partial injustice in terms of the sentence and the length of the banning order. Even just getting it reduced to three years would be well worth the punt
Banning orders don’t apply to non league, they are not designated games. But they do apply to England games, he may well have to report to a police station etc during the world cup in January
 
You know, the technology for facial recognition is available and already widely in use in China (especially against the Uygurs and Tibetans, thought I'd get that in!). Now we're not in a totalitarian state like that, thank God, but nearly every single person that's in that shot of the destroyed goal at the South Stand end could be identified, recorded on software, and then banned by setting up the same facial recognition miniature cameras on every turnstile. It could just beep loudly, and block. Would be as easy as pie.
Think about what you're doing next time, guys… We're going to be winning other trophies, for sure.
 
It will never be seen this way in the eyes of the law but out of a crowd of 50k+ there was always bound to be one who lost the plot to some extent, in my eyes an understandable reaction having spent the majority of the season in a highly pressured situation, goaded from most angles.
 
You could rename this tread… Awful legal advice from people who don’t have the first clue what they’re talking about. ( With a few exceptions I’ll add )

I don’t want to be left out so I’ll give my best advice also.

Mate, if you throw a single penny more, or waste another minute of your life on some futile attempt to “clear your name” or looking at appealing this, you are without being rude, a fucking idiot.
 
time to move on for the OP, put your collar up with a hat and sit in the top tier of the east stand for a few seasons ;-)
Just pick the right hat so you don’t look too conspicuous.

Put it down to experience mate, you pled guilty because you were guilty, I can understand you wanting to put the shit being written about you to bed but I’d leave it and move on. You will always have that moment of pure joy and a few months down the line you won’t look back on the experience so negatively…
You owned up and took your medicine, that shows character to me… I would have pled not guilty and said sweet fuck all on here :-)
