The sheikh is just looking down the couch now for the change he dropped last night

Thats a lot of money...dunno how the Club can physically stop that many people invading the pitch

 

[mancityvstoke]

Club will double down on this in future now...not sure how though

 

[Phil1]

I presume any other clubs who had pitch invasions will be hit with a similar fine?

I think that's the last time that happens we've had our fun time to behave and not get the club or more importantly the team in trouble

It’d probably bankrupt Port Vale if it is always the same.

Should be at least double if not more if you get a game called off right? Or if you trash your opponents team bus.

Or is the severity of the fine dependent on the colour of your shirt?

They could just make it a points deduction for subsequent infractions and then it would likely police itself.

I must confess though, I do struggle to understand why people want to go on to the pitch at the end? I know some will say it’s heat of the moment and all the celebrations and excitement but that then presupposes that all the punters on levels 2 and 3 were not excited and did not celebrate, which is obviously nonsensical.
Let’s hope that’s now the end of it anyway.
