#PLStories- Leeds United issues statement highlighting firm stance against pitch invaders #LUFC

Leeds have released a statement saying any fan who steps onto the pitch will be handed a one-year ban from the club. The news comes following a series of incidents in recent weeks involving young supporters that the club is now looking to clamp down on.

Leeds United statement read: “Leeds United would like to remind fans that encroachment on the pitch will not be permitted at any time and is a criminal offence. We have a zero-tolerance approach to those invading the pitch and those putting players at risk, with football banning orders issued to any supporters identified. The recent trend with incidents have included young supporters being sent onto the pitch and this will not be tolerated whether it is before, during or after a game, in these cases the parents or guardians of the juniors in question will be given a one-year ban.”
