Are the club for real. Come on guys. He was upset and wanted to hug Top, which all the fans want to do still. The fan was emotional, like all of us.

All of us stayed in our seats though and paid our respects. What if his actions led to hundreds of others doing the same? We are all eternally grateful and thankful but there is a way of doing things, and running to a grieving man over a barrier doesn’t strike me as comforting. If you look at the letter he got he’s been banned for two months, which will be ended if he meets the security team on 29th December, not a season long ban or a banning order. The club are spot on in my view

As if the club are going to be criticised for the way they've handled things. He was pretty moronic to do that. I personally thought it was really poor at the time.

Someone has started a petition to get his ban overturned ?

[boosmanana]

Pathetic really. He deserves to be banned and has got off lightly with the ban he's received. If everyone in the stadium who wanted to hug Top, ran onto the pitch at that point then lots of people would have been seriously injured. 

Also, top notch parenting and role model behaviour to run onto the pitch and leave your 9 year old child in the stands. Very sensible thing to do.

It's only a short term ban which he doesn't seem to bothered about in the interview.

 

He shouldn't have done it and has been rightly punished irrespective of the circumstances.

[ozleicester]

just a couple of months, seems fair

[chapero82]

I think it’s a slap on the hand in all honesty, the club still had to set an example otherwise more people do it, it’s only 2 months.

 

I bet in other cases it’s longer than that

He’s lucky he only got 2 months. 

[Livid]

Not much sympathy for him. Feel more for his daughter if she can't go as a result of his actions.

[FoxNotFox]

I think the club have taken the circumstances into consideration and been lenient. 

[SystonFox]

I’m with the club here not the Facebook snowflake generation trying to make out like they’ve done wrong.

 

the fella broke the rules regardless

Should get another 2 for defacing the letter. 

[desertfox2]

The rules are the rules. Today it's a person with good intentions acting stupidly, tomorrow it could be some whackjob with bad intentions.  Everyone else stayed in their seats most of whom probably felt like giving Top a hug but there has to be boundaries. It's just put our grieving chairman in an awkward position now that it's become public when he had enough on his plate.

Rubbish. There’s a right way to have done this and a wrong way imo. The club and an amazing amount of football fans over the globe have done it the right way. His was the wrong way.

The club have been lenient.

Bullcrap! We all wanted to hug Top but everyone else remained in place. He deserves a ban and the length is about fair given the circumstances.

Bullcrap. It was a moronic thing to do and you're no better than him if you think a two months ban is a harsh punishment.

[Voll Blau]

The bloke clearly meant no harm, did he? Think a little phone call asking him politely not to do it again would have sufficed.

Absolutely. It was nobbish behaviour by him on all accounts. Cannot understand anyone defending his actions or criticising the club for their response.

 

Also - supporter goes on to confirm his nobbishness by leaking details of the private letter between the club and him to the local rag...

I'm sure he didn't mean any harm and I'm sure the club considered carefully the response they gave. They could have opted for no ban at all, a shortish ban or a season ban. I think they got it about right.

 

[Out Foxed]

Clearly the guy needs everything to be about him. He put the club in an awkward position and they were lenient. Now he posts this and casts the club in a bad light. Bit of a willy puller imo.

[CosbehFox]

Fair outcome all around really 

[Izzy]

The club had to take action and enforce the rules otherwise it gives anyone permission to hop over on to the pitch whenever they want.

 

The fella knows he did wrong and has accepted his punishment from what I've read.

 

No harm done and no big deal really.
