Premier League clubs agree new measures to tackle pitch invasions

SpoilerShow

There was a glut of pitch invasions at the end of last season across England, including when an Everton fan clashed with Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira after the Toffees avoided relegation.

As a first step, visiting clubs will provide stewards for away matches.

Partial ground closures as a punishment was not one of the topics discussed by the 20 top-flight clubs.

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters said: "It is vital that everyone feels safe at a football match.

"Supporters must be reminded it is illegal to enter the pitch at any time. To be clear, this area is unequivocally for football and, under no circumstance should players, managers, match officials or staff fear for their safety - just as fans should remain protected in the stands.

"These type of incidents must stop and new measures for next season will make that clear - the league fully supports club and football-wide bans for offenders.

"It is the minority who are behaving unacceptably and they risk ruining the matchday experience for the vast majority of law-abiding fans.

"Crowd behaviour is an issue we and our clubs are addressing as a matter of urgency, in collaboration with partners and relevant authorities."

There were several pitch invasions and incidents in the English Football League play-offs, most notably when a Nottingham Forest fan headbutted Sheffield United captain Billy Sharp - and was jailed.

It is a shame some isolated bad behaviour can harm everyone. I remember being so surprised when I moved to England and realized you can't drink in your seat. Such a difference from NA sports and how stadiums/teams make money here.

I remember visiting Seattle a few years ago and going to a Sounders game, and being so shocked that you were able to drink at the game. I even bartered with a lovely old chap at the bar to get the pints cheaper, based purely on my shock at the expense. Was ace. Were sat next to a local couple whom normally came with their friends, apparently not able to come, so the seats went back to resale. Was a cracking little night out. Shortly after Obafemi Martins had moved on unfortunately.

Don't get me wrong, I'm way too cheap to buy a bunch of stadiums beers (that're usually lousy beers too) no matter what sport I'm attending here. But I'm in the minority with that.

Then I am in the minority too mate

No Son

Son is player of the season in my book, joint golden boot winner and not a single penalty.

[gola]

ronalado?

[Valentino's fast feet]

Ronaldo had a decent season, but he's probably in there because his name is Ronaldo. Definitely should be Son in his place. Oddly underrated in a way, everyone knows how good he is, but doesn't seem to get the plaudits other similar players do.

[Colly]

Speaking of Son, only 1 goal for him against Paraguay today. Two for Miggy!

End product twice in one match, has hell frozen over?!

I'm not sure, i'll ask one of the pigs that's just flying past my window.

On a side note, love that Paraguay kit. Simple design yet class.

Same here! I think it is the sash. Don't think i've ever seen a sash design I haven't liked, but that Peru one is just class.

Edit: oh yeah the infamous Coventry brown kit. Sometimes I wonder why there are no brown kits, then I remember this one and realise why.
