A Stoke City fan has been given a lifetime ban, for encouraging his 2 sons
to run on the pitch, during a home game at the Bet365 stadium against
Sheffield United.
The 2 boys aged 11 & 12 ran across the pitch in front of visiting fans, during
the closing stages of the teams home win against Sheffield United.
The man had recently been subject to a 3 year football banning order.
The 2 boys are not allowed to attend games at the Bet365 stadium at Stoke,
until the start of the 2027/28 season.

Thoughts - A foolish act by a parent, putting his sons safety at stake, the boys
running on to the pitch in front of visiting fans, what if some of the visiting fans
had run onto the pitch, & given them a good hiding.
Stoke City won the game 3-1
