Re: Birmingham City
These incidents are difficult for any club who endure these circumstances
We've had occasions when fans have invaded the pitch, the yob/keeper incident at Hillsborough then there was the nasty scenes v Ipswich at ER a few seasons ago
Are the Brummies being punished for not having adequate/efficient stewarding or did the fan who committed the offence have previous history of football violence at Birmingham ?

Re: Birmingham City
It is hard to know what exactly the EFL expect clubs to be doing, but in the end they will always sanction clubs when this type of incident happens. If they didnt people would be screaming blue murder.
No doubt Leeds and Barnsley will be digging deep after Sunday as well.
No matter how high you build the fences there will always be numpties at grounds who want to act like this fella. Football seems to bring it out in some people.
I wonder if Arsenal will be penalised for a similar incident last season.

Re: Birmingham City
Look up Palace V Villa this season on YouTube, plenty of Villa scrapping with the police and stewards. Didn't even know about it until a Palace season ticket holder at work told me about it today. Unfortunately it goes on everywhere.

Re: Birmingham City
It is, but I wonder how many fans are just conditioned to misbehave on match day.
Football seems to do something to the brain..
I bet those Barnsley and Leeds fans who kicked off against each other were on opposing sides at a Rugby League game it would be different.
