City charged by the FA following the Villa match (22nd May 2022)

[LongsightM13]

My guess would probably be a five figure fine and a possibly also a suspended partial stadium closure for a game or two, which could in theory be activated in case of any repeat in future.

Always makes me laugh that we get punished for everything and yet game delays/cancellations due to safety failures and failure to control fans or bus attacks dont' get investigated.

I am not as versed in this, what is the outcome if found guilty which we obviously are?

btw, no charge has ever been raised for the scum for what they did during the ESL saga.

Because the police bailed them out no fa charge!

Or fake.bomb scares to get a game called off

The trouble is, I’m not sure what the club can do around ground because so many idiots from every stand, run onto the pitch. The only answer seems to be temporary fencing that can be installed for certain games - or blocking off the first few rows around the ground with the horizontal fencing like they have at Wembley, which stops encroachment or slows perpetrators down so they can be “caught” by stewards. Trouble is - this is totally unfair on the fans who generally sit in these seats the rest of the season because they’ll have to be moved. Our own fans - inconvenienced by the idiot sector.

This is not a case of most fans being party poopers - as the idiots accuse us of. Regrettably there’s an element of “I don’t fucking care about the rest of you - if I want to run on the pitch I will”. Sums up a huge problem in our society

We’ve got to recognise that’s it’s illegal to invade the pitch or bring in flares.

They don’t want you to join in the celebrations at all, it’s definitely because of what allegedly happened to the villa goalie.

 

[jjctid]

This was always going to happen as pitch invasions have never happened before. Oh wait a minute - they have? What about hitting a player? OK then breaking crossbars? But have they all happened at the same time? Maybe we should get a game postponed and see how well the FA respond!

Oh the excitement of a final day title race seems to have gone over their heads.
They want the drama of a soap opera to advertise their product yet.....

Really doubt they would be doing this if the Dippers had danced on the pitch in jubilation of pipping us to the title.

Think we are to celebrate in a reserved manner now because we are used to being winners.
Get fooked.
They want drama and excitement so we gave it them.
Champions again.

No we didn’t. There was no drama or excitement watching idiots jumping around the pitch & surrounding opposition players. It’s pathetic; illegal & inconveniences 45,000 other fans.

 

[waspish]

Ah this is how they going to punish us! Wasn’t these new rules been brought in only in the last year or two? This time we get to fine we do it again partial stadium closure next time points deduction!

In fairness, it's deserved

Agreed
