Wembley prepare 'sprinter stewards' to prevent Just Stop Oil FA Cup final interruption

Wembley are preparing to introduce 'sprinter stewards' at the FA Cup final to prevent any potential Just Stop Oil disruption - after another major event was interrupted over the weekend.

A protester invaded the Twickenham pitch in the Rugby Premiership final between Saracens and Sale on Saturday, before exploding orange powder over the playing surface. Fans were visibly frustrated as the game was delayed for over 10 minutes as the spectator was ushered off the pitch and the powder was removed.

Now, according to the Daily Mail, Wembley are set to deploy more measures to stop another protester invading the pitch and they have planned in the event it happens. That has played a major part in their planning for the game between Manchester United and Manchester City at the national stadium this weekend.
