Bristol Rovers have been hit with two FA charges after a six-week investigation into incidents towards the end of their 7-0 victory over Scunthorpe United, which secured promotion into League One.
Rovers have been charged with breaches of FA Rule E20.1 and E20.2 after supporters invaded the pitch following Elliot Anderson’s goal in the 85th minute at the Mem, and then again at the final whistle.
In a statement, the governing body said: “It is alleged that in the 85th minute of the fixture, Bristol Rovers FC failed to ensure that its spectators, and all persons purporting to be its supporters or followers, conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or refrained from using threatening and/or violent behaviour whilst encroaching onto the pitch area.
