A friend of a friend said that they’re looking at lifetime bans.

Frog, never works. Someone I know very well got a five year ban and he left it a month and just continued to go to matches, home and away!

He had no curfew hours imposed during March times so no deterrent.

The fans maybe hit in the pocket with fines, & the court costs, plus the travel costs to court, for the Rotherham fans.

[Brin]

Serves em right. Might think twice about doing it again.

interestingly less than 30 mins before the incident if a person on the pitch pushed over another person on the pitch, they may have got a yellow card, same action, same place, different time
it is just a comment
