Oldham game abandoned after pitch invasion 1-2 down !

[Jim]

That means Oldham game will be replayed, so I don't see how Adam and Goody can say Barrow have secured there league status. A replay even worse than resuming the game with Oldham needing 2 goals to get the points they need.

Pitch invasion at Oldham

Heartfelt congrats from Portugal. My golf was total crap today. But I feel much happier now. Well done to Phil Brown. He’s done exactly what was asked

Aren't Barrow the only club that have had an abandoned game result allowed to stand (v Gillingham 1963). So not much chamce of the Oldham game result allowed to stand. Pwerhaps they will be docked a few points though?

If it’s replayed then surely the replayed game starts at 1-2? If not, an it’s abandoned then what’s stopping every team from doing this when they don’t like the result

Unless the invasion was by Salford fans. Since Oldham fans were advertising a pitch invasion on their forum I would think that Oldham will be lucky to get away without a large fine. Think you can be happy that this is one game that will not be replayed Jim

[SKIPPER]

Replay the game but deduct six points for the invasion.On the Gillingham game (I was there) the result was allowed to stand because a) we were 7-0 up so Gills had no chance to alter it in the remaining time and b) they were punished for not making reasonable travel arrangements.

Perhaps this is reassuring precedent (from 2015). Decided a few days after the match too.

Pitch Invasion: Football League announce decision in Blackpool v Huddersfield Town

On 14 May 2015 the Football League announced that the abandoned match between Blackpool and Huddersfield Town on 2 May 2015 has been decided as a 0-0 draw – the score at the time the match was abandoned. Blackpool have been charged and referred to the Football Disciplinary Commission.

Thankfully, with under-soil heating, floodlights, pre-match pitch inspections, less fog, and calmer supporters (on the whole), professional matches in England don’t get abandoned like they used to.

However on 2 May, the match was abandoned after fans stormed the pitch in protest – something that was probably not at the forefront of Blackpool and Huddersfield Town minds before the final game of the season.

Blackpool had endured a disappointing season culminating in relegation to League One. Huddersfield Town were destined to finish mid-table, although a win would have seen them leapfrog West Yorkshire rivals Leeds United into 15th position.

The Blackpool fans were so unhappy with their team’s season (and owner) that 2,000 of them protested outside the ground before the match. So unhappy, that on 48 minutes, with the scores at 0-0, hundreds invaded the pitch. The referee had to abandon the match and get the players off the pitch for their own safety.

After the match, the Football League announced that there would be no replay of the fixture, and that it would hold a board meeting to decide the outcome.

Ah well, big 3 points today and Phil brown is well and truly our hero.

[kikka]

Well done lads ...barring 'oddball decisions' ( and, unfortunately we have seen too many of them this season already ! ) that should clinch our status for next season . A superb effort over the last few games has turned it around . Confidence is growing and the results are reflecting that . The season is ending so much better than I feared it might .

Typical Barrow - we had to wait for ages to get our promotion confirmed and now we may be waiting to get our survival confirmed.
