The FA will argue that the fans in the stadium were under our control and, in the light of previous incursions on the last day, we should have taken extra precautions. As others have said, the ”assault“ of the keeper and the destruction of the goal posts ensured that we would be charged.So should City be punished when exuberant fans completely overwhelmed the security in place at the Villa game?
Only the British army or a large security fence could have prevented that. Also the season had ended hadn’t it?
