LOL a right bunch of melts - who squirts a steward with ketchup ffs :lol:

One person at the home game who when asked not to drink alcohol in sight of the pitch and not to stand in one of the vomitories, directed foul and abusive language at stewards and threatened them with serious physical violence (and has previously been the subject of a Football Banning Order) has been banned for 5 years

One supporter at the Reading home game who decided it would be fun to spray tomato ketchup over a steward has been banned until 30th June 2015

The person who ran onto the pitch at the home game versus Reading was arrested by the Police for the offence and has been banned by the Club for 5 years

The person who was arrested and charged by Thames Valley Police for racial abuse of a Reading player, an incident seen by millions live on BBC 1, will be banned from the Club for life if found to be guilty. This type of behaviour is totally unacceptable to everyone within the Club and the vast majority of its supporters and has been hugely damaging to the image of the Club during a great season where it has previously made headlines for all the right reasons

The person who used social media to announce that he planned to take pyrotechnics into the Madejski Stadium and on a targeted search was found to have a pyrotechnic amongst his possessions will be banned for 5 years. Carrying these devices into any stadium is a serious offence and, for Bradford City fans in particular, can never be justified.

WoodleyRoyal ... the image of the Club during a great season where it has previously made headlines for all the right reasons

Headlines such as "Royals hit for six at St Andrews" and "Reading sign Anton Ferdinand"?

I think it was from a Bradford PoV, not ours.

Royal Lady What is a vomitory?


Vomitorium is the bit that joins the concourse with the seated area.

I'd probably settle for something that's just a club ban rather than a court appearance as well so maybe some extreme condiment throwing.

I see the BCFC pitch invader has got a five year ban. RIP Pudding.

It's Latin, they had them at the Coluseum. Not sure if stadium catering was bad then too but it may be the derivation of the term

It's just means "large doorway you can exit rapidly through" loosely, which tbf doesn't describe those at the madejski very well

Ouroboros
Pepe the Horseman Lol. Was it in context?


:lol:

Like, was the game taking place in the deep south in 1805?


I've got news for you. You don't have to go back to 1805. The deep south is still pretty much the same in 2015! :cry:

The last one in the list should get an extra ban for being so thick! The equivalent of Ronnie Biggs ringing the OB to tell them eaxctky what he was planning to do, where and when!
