Is it worth invading your club's pitch?

Reading have been fined by the Football Association after a pitch invasion led to their League One match against Port Vale being abandoned in January.
Hundreds of supporters staged a protest against owner Dai Yongge by entering the field of play in the 16th minute of the match at the Select Car Leasing Stadium.
The match was stopped and then abandoned by referee Ross Joyce on 13 January with the score 0-0.
Reading won the rearranged fixture 2-0.

The club has been fined £7,500, with half of that suspended until the end of the current season, by the FA.
Reading admitted an FA charge that they "failed to ensure their spectators and/or supporters (and anyone purporting to supporters or followers) conduct themselves in an orderly fashion; don’t behave in an improper, threatening or provocative way; or commit any form of pitch incursion".

Royals supporters were protesting against Chinese businessman Yongge's ownership, which has seen the club docked 18 points since the start of the 2021-22 season for various breaches of financial rules.
The club remain up for sale, with former Wycombe Wanderers owner Rob Couhig understood to be the front-runner to buy them.

No.

Football club owners are almost exclusively people with entitled views, have the ability to hand out lifelong club bans, and have the option to insist that the police follow up on the football offences act rules which could lead to other penalties.

Unfortunately as fans, protest options are very limited without risking quite a lot. You have to accept that wealthy men will do as they please when it comes to running their business - the club will very, very rarely become the first priority for them.

There was a lone pitch invader last night at fleetwood, wonder what his motive was.

Yes it raised a smile/laugh to us there as he goaded the steward to try and catch him then.......bham! He was on the deck with said burly steward pinning to the floor .

As for his motive, probably too much sniffing a brewers apron, looked all of about 13-15. Didn't go easy though kicking out at the two stewards trying to remove him from the pitch. Different story though when the Police took hold of him, a quick arm round his neck and his arm up his back put paid to his antics as they oinked him off down a tunnel. Silly lad.
