Banning fans from stadiums is not enforceable. I had a bouncer work for me years ago in Leeds who was barred from Elland Road and every Leeds away game but never missed a match! How would you enforce it exactly?
They do have police spotters which might help. I guess if you’re determined enough you can get round things.Banning fans from stadiums is not enforceable.

I wondered if they could even name the first eleven.

They have to surrender passports for England games away. Presumably the order could force them to checkin at a local police station during the matches every week. Saying that, the stations are probably closed now a days though...
Absolutely well said! If you remember, there was a supposed ban on bloody inflatables for the Forest game. No doubt Burnley would approve but it completely backs up redharrys point.Must admit I got totally fed up watching all the sanctimonious rubbish spouted by the MOTD panel last night re fans on the pitch. The whole point about going to football is to experience dramatic highs and lows while actively supporting YOUR team. That includes a pitchie when your team wins the league by coming from 0-2 down by scoring 3 goals in 6 minutes. God, how could anyone not be sent crazy by that. Sure there is no excuse for violence or vandalism and those people should be punished but 99% of the thousands that went on the pitch at City were just showing sheer exhilerhation and excitement. Should we be looking to ban all the thousands that went on the pitch at DC after the Forest game ? No of course not. Unfortunately too many boring faceless execs want to just keep us all in our little boxes and do what they tell us.
And in that corner is a fairly 'vocal' group of locals, as it us next to the away fansAt Turf Moor there is no easy escape route for players and coaches because the tunnel is on the opposite corner of the pitch to where
lolWhy not just jump up and down and punch the air, scream and shout in the streets outside and on the way home.
The pitch is the players domain....the stands are the fans'....the pitch has to be maintained by skilled groundsmen.
Its a totally f√cking brainless and dangerous activity running around like lunatics, a chance someone gets crushed, especially a small child...
Plus...the players are exhausted and in need of ' coming down' from the 95 minutes of exertions( well most of them !)
Because by the time you are going home the "moment" has gone. The whole thing is about spontaneity at the final whistle. Not dissimilar to VAR killing the joy of scoring a goal.Why not just jump up and down and punch the air, scream and shout in the streets outside and on the way home.

As with these things, people will trot out the worst case scenario as "evidence" that these things "must be banned". I mean, those inflatables are pretty dangerous.Because by the time you are going home the "moment" has gone. The whole thing is about spontaneity at the final whistle.
