Two Oxford United fans have today been banned from attending football games in England and Wales for three years after a pitch invasion at the Kassam Stadium.
Zac Grant, 21, of Stockham Park, Wantage, and Richard Sale, 24, of Plantation Road, North Oxford, admitted running onto the pitch during United’s game against Northwich Victoria on April 26.
At Oxford Magistrates' Court, Sale was handed a £210 fine, ordered to pay £85 costs and a £15 victim surcharge.
Grant was fined £140, costs of £85 and a £15 victim surcharge.
Three other defendants, John McMahon, 27, of Fern Hill Road, Oxford, Joseph Nicholls, 29, of The Vineyard, Abingdon, and Paul Woodburn, 41, of Brize Norton Road, Minster Lovell, denied the charges and will stand trial on January 26.
