Oldham Athletic have vowed to ban supporters who protested against their owner Abdallah Lemsagam on the pitch on Saturday, in a defeat that sealed their relegation to non-league.
Oldham were losing 2-1 to neighbours Salford, with other results going against them and sending them down to the National League. With 12 minutes left to play, fans ran onto the Boundary Park pitch, holding up a banner that read 'GET OUT OF OUR CLUB', and hundreds refused to leave. The match was abandoned and the protesters took over an hour to exit the pitch.
After fans had left, the EFL decided to play the final 12 minutes of the fixture behind closed doors, with Oldham failing to score and subsequently sealing relegation out of the Football League for the first time in their 127 year history.
