Two Oxford United fans have been banned from attending football games including the World Cup for three years after trouble flared at the U's final league match.
Richard Mellis and Stewart Gallagher appeared before Oxford magistrates today, and admitted invading the pitch during the crucial game against Leyton Orient at the Kassam Stadium on May 6.
Mellis, 37, of Forest Hill, Oxford, and Gallagher, 32, of Edwin Road, Didcot, were both given a football banning order.
Stephen Rahill, 33, of the Phelp, Kidlington, Paul Nesbit, 29, of Fernhill Close, Kidlington, Philip Saward, 22, from Charlton, London, and Michael Baylis, 21, from Welling, in Kent, also admitted invading the pitch.
The men were each fined £100 and ordered to pay £34 costs.
