He confronted the Fylde players before stewards intervened

Its wrong, it really is. What you cant do is say thats synonymous of all their fans, its not its just some idiot running on the pitch. Its dangerous, really dangerous, but people just need to self-police. If someone wants to go on the pitch no matter how many police or stewards you have you arent going to stop them.But we dont want to go back to where it was 15 or 20 years ago in this country where people are behind fences.The FA are now investigating the footage and may punish Stockport for the supporters’ behaviour.This incident comes only a couple of weeks after Jack Grealish was assaulted on the pitch by a Birmingham City supporter.3

Paul Mitchell was jailed for assaulting Grealish

An Arsenal fan also invaded the Emirate Stadium pitch and shoved Manchester United’s Chris Smalling later that same day.Paul Mitchell was named as the man who attacked Grealish, and he was jailed for 14 weeks after pleading guilty to assault and illegally entering the field of play.He was also banned from football for 10 years, while Birmingham City handed him a lifetime ban.
