Forest Green Rovers chairman and major shareholder Dale Vince has claimed that he is responsible for the funding behind a protest group that recently disrupted an Everton match at Goodison Park.
Everton's home game with Newcastle United last Thursday was brought to a long halt in the second half after a spectator ran on to the pitch and attached himself to the goal post in front of the Gwladys Street Stand.
The protestor attached a plastic zip-tie to the goalpost and tightly around his neck while wearing a T-shirt bearing the words, 'Just Stop Oil'. Similar protests have been attempted at numerous Premier League stadiums across the country in recent weeks.
