Club issues a warning over fan on pitch

-

SKELMERSDA­LE United may be slapped with disciiplna­ry charge after last week’s famous cup win – and have been forced to put out a warning after the behaviour of one enthusiast­ic young fan.

Director Kev Panther told supporters: ‘‘It was a great night on Tuesday as United with a late goal from Joe Herbert sealed a dramatic win in the FA Cup, everyone in the ground was over joyed and with good reason to be.

‘‘However, after the third goal we had a “young” pitch invader, no doubt celebratin­g the goal. I would have liked to have done the same.

‘‘But entering the field of play is a Criminal Offence and as such has been reported to the League and Football Associatio­n.

‘‘We may be a “Non League” team but we still play to the rules of the FA, so if it’s someone entering the field of play at either Liverpool, Everton or any football league ground, that club is liable to a fine, and we are NO different.

‘‘We have already had one substantia­l fine early this year, and now face another disciplina­ry charge.’’

Mr Panther told the club website: ‘‘The club have been more than made up with the support shown from the young contingent, it no doubt helped the lads on to their win on Tuesday, such was the backing the lads gave to the players but we must act responsibl­y.

‘‘If there is any more indiscreti­ons then the club could in effect face severe consequenc­es.

‘‘Please don’t let this happen. Lets get behind the club, we have got a good thing going here, lets keep it that way.

‘‘Thank You.’’
