A 16-year-old boy has been cautioned by police and banned from attending games after admitting assaulting a Scunthorpe United player as Bristol Rovers clinched promotion to League One.
The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been banned from attending games for a fixed period. The incident occurred at the Memorial Stadium on May 7 when some supporters entered the pitch after Elliot Anderson made it 7-0 in the 85th minute, putting the Gas within touching distance of automatic promotion. The teenager admitted pushing a Scunthorpe player.
Two other men have also been punished for offences that occurred at the Mem on April 23 when the Gas played Forest Green Rovers. After that game, Forest Green fans entered the pitch celebrating their promotion and some home fans followed, with police and stewards required to clear the area.
