But then your not allowed to do anything at football these days!!!
If they are sensible they will apologise to the Club, wait a while and ask the Club to re-consider.
When the storm has blown over and if they are suitably contrite they will be allowed back. Well that's what would happen at Charlton anyway.

At Millwall they would be banned for not causing a disturbance.
A few years back I knew a West Ham supporter who threw his season ticket on the pitch in disgust. A few days later it arrived through the post. Later in the season the same thing happened. Threw it on the pitch only to get it through the post again. Poor sod!
Sounds both vindictive and over the top to me. Obviously the club were embarrassed and looking for a scape goat IMO. Perhaps the club should be focusing there attention to what is going on the pitch not on a couple of fans being stupid in a heated moment.
Yes they should apologise to the club and face some sort of restriction, but an over reaction to me.
[cite]Posted By: Covered End[/cite]Fans banned over pitch invasion
The Warmans confronted coaching staff during the first half
Two Norwich City fans who ran on to the pitch on the opening day of the Football League season have been banned indefinitely from Carrow Road.
Mark and Daniel Warman threw their season tickets at the then manager Bryan Gunn when the team were losing 4-0 to Colchester in the first half.
Chief executive David McNally said the incident had been "costly" to the club.
It had to order an independent safety inquiry and policing bills for match days have since risen, he added.
Mark Warman, 43, and 18-year-old Daniel Warman were held back by kit manager Manny Fowler as they confronted Mr Gunn near the dug out.
Worst home defeat
Much of the capacity crowd left Carrow Road well before the final whistle when the Canaries lost 7-1 to Colchester on 8 August.
It was the worst home defeat in Norwich's 107-year history.
The two season ticket holders continued to confront staff while being led away in the tunnel and were later cautioned by police.
"In real terms this incident alone has cost Norwich City Football Club a five-figure sum," said Mr McNally.
"It is totally unacceptable to run on the pitch and physically confront members of staff.
"Recent events at Upton Park have highlighted the very serious risk to public safety pitch invasions and unruly behaviour can pose."
Safety procedures on match days have been changed and the independent inquiry is continuing, he added.
One of our mates who's not been to an away fixture bar Palarse for a while and who is coming to Norwich is also called Mark Warman..should make things interesting if he's asked for his name
