Leeds Granny, ''not hooligan'' claim

Floyd Montana

Bid to save Leeds United pitch invasion grandmother

Margaret Musgrove, 63, was given an automatic ban for going on the grass during the last game of the season.

She said she was sorry for her actions but "just got carried away with the atmosphere".

She said: "It wasn't planned.

"All I remember is a guy at the side, he was beating on a
drum and it just got my heart rate going and the adrenalin was pumping
and well that was it, everything took over.

"I just ran on to the pitch and waved my hands and said 'I love you boys'."

Mrs Musgrove said she was devastated she would not be able to attend a match for 12 months.

"Leeds are my life. I would never ever do that again. I wish I could turn the clock back."

The Facebook group "Give Mags Musgrove Her Season Ticket Back
Mr Bates" appeals to club owner Ken Bates - who in the 1980s famously
wanted to install electric fences to keep fans off the pitch when he was
chairman of Chelsea - to be more lenient to Mrs Musgrove.

Marie Blankley, who set up the group, which has more than 800
members, said: "Yes she's done wrong. A 12-month ban is too harsh, a
three-month ban, yes she'd take it.

"Mags is not a hooligan. She loves Leeds United with a passion."

Now I'm no technowizard, but I would be interested to see a venn diagram with

1. Leeds fans

2. Hooligans

3. Grannies.

Ban her

Saw this this morning and chuckled at her apparent innocence.

Isn't 12 months lenient?

She ran on the pitch DURING the game, not at the end in celebration.

If she was a 23 year old bloke she'd get a banning order. What's the difference that she's a 63 year old woman?!

Ban her

Take her passport away and make her attend the local nick at 3pm every Saturday for the next 5 years.

Might be menopausal & having a "bad" day ?

It's a growing problem. Stamp it out now or we'll all suffer. Who can forget the shameful antics at Upton Park when they played Millwall?

What are the chances she looks like this?

A crime is a crime.

She could've had a knife ffs.

More likely a bag of Werthers and a leaky colostomy bag but I take your point!

Never happened in my old local in Rio, the famous Frock n Cock Inn

No remorse in her interview at all.

 

She must be punished. Best thing to do would be to give her season ticket back, poor cow.
