Kids/adults running onto the pitch after the final whistle

Iv just ordered a para gliding kit off amazon
Next champs league game I'm chucking my nipper off the edge of SS3 towards the pitch
Hopefully everyone will see the effort he's put in and the team will give him the choice of any players top he wants
before clapping him off the pitch
 
It's a criminal matter, if pursued - subject to all the usual "public interest" stuff. If it becomes a thing I suspect it will be clamped down on as a deterent, and some kid might end up with a a football banning order ultimately which would be a shame. Their parents might cop one too.....

Football Related Offences and Football Banning Orders | The Crown Prosecution Service

Youths
Where appropriate, consideration should be given to diversion by way of a Youth Caution. If the offending cannot be satisfactorily addressed by a Youth Caution, then consideration should be given to a Youth Conditional Caution. For further information, prosecutors should consider the separate legal guidance on Youth Offenders and the Director's Guidance on Youth Conditional Cautions. The ACPO Youth Offender Case Disposal Gravity Factor includes a section on Football Offences including breach of Football Banning Order.

There is a potential conflict between the duty to remit young offenders to the youth court for sentence (under s.8(2)(b) Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000 and the requirement for the court that convicts an offender to deal with an application for a post-conviction Football Banning Order (Football Spectators Act 1989 s.14A(6)).This conflict has resulted in youths convicted of football related violence and disorder being remitted to their home courts and subsequently applications for Football Banning Orders have been rejected.

To avoid this conflict it is recommended that youths should normally be charged and bailed to their "home" court, even when the offence charged is committed away from their home town/city. Where, however, it is clear that the case is likely to be contested and there are potentially a number of civilian witnesses, then it may be necessary to charge and bail the youth to the "away" court. After conviction, it will be necessary for the prosecutor to make representations, citing the exception in section 8(2) of the 2000 Act, stating that it would be undesirable to remit the case to the "home" court, as it would deprive the prosecution of the ability to apply for a banning order.

Careful consideration should be given before a youth is jointly charged with an adult, to avoid the potential problems dealt with above. In cases of large scale disorder it is good practice to charge each defendant separately and for youths to be charged to the "home" court and for the adults to be charged to the "away" court.

First game I ever went to at Maine Road I went on the pitch at the end. All the kids tried and it was great fun if you got on.

It's a completely different world nowadays. As kids, we used to run onto the pitch to congratulate and shake hands with our heroes. If they actually spoke to you, you felt 10ft tall and basked in reflective glory for the walk home.

There was a genuine innocence about the whole thing, and it wasn't against the law. Now it's all about pushy parents trying to blag a shirt to flog on ebay etc.

The biggest risk running on the pitch back in the 60s was that Stan Gibson would give you a right bollocking for going on HIS pitch if he caught you....

Are you sure it wasn't against law back then? Pretty sure it's always been part of the trespass laws.

Anyway we need to bring the innocence back.

Don't think Stan would have caught anyone.
