Oldham Athletic have released a statement regarding the on-pitch protest held by fans during their club’s 2-1 loss to Salford City on Saturday, which confirmed their relegation from League Two.
Home supporters at Boundary Park rushed onto the field with ten minutes left to play to demand that owner Abdallah Lemsagam leave the club. They unveiled a banner aimed at his box which read: ‘Get Out Of Our Club’.
Mr Lemsagam was not present at the game. The protest, which was described by the Athletic as ‘peaceful’, caused a long delay in the game and led to it initially being branded abandoned.
