Used to work for Sussex Police and had contact with the Police Liaison Officer for Brighton and Hove Albion as part of my job so dropped him a tweet to ask if throwing beachballs onto the pitch was a criminal offence and this is what he said: 'The legislation doesn't specify what is or isn't. Each case on its own merits'. Pretty sure the CPS would deem it not in the public interest to prosecute someone for throwing a beachball onto the pitch and given the amount of them that were thrown thats a lot of cases.
There you go, fuck up a well respected and historical Football club then get upset because the fans protest....you couldn't make it up the arrogance coupled with the incompetance beggers belief. And while we are at it (and I know this is a cliche) but haven't the police anything better to do than chase a few beach ball chuckers? jeez when my daughter was burgled they eventually turned up 4 days later! Joke the whole thing RD and KM should be ashamed of themselves.
Insinuating that the protests are criminal, in the same way as the isolated incident of inexcusable oafishness at the palarse game, is cynical distortion worthy of Pyongyang. Rehiring a comms consultant with old contacts at the beeb ensures that Roly's NewSpeak bullshit gets a rapid airing thru an otherwise reputable organ - presumably said consultant is costing Roly a king's ransom*. Hopefully CARD's consequent statement gets the same size and quality of distribution. We have to highlight the toxic blend of mendacity and insanity every time it issues forth from his "charlton athletic". We must continue to repudiate the lies and reinforce the reasons for our disaffection.
* there is no comfort to be had from Roly's financial losses - we can but cling to the belief that even a preposterous buffoon such as he will have a point beyond which he realises it is 'good money after bad' and decides enough is enough.
Perhaps we could arrange a game of "keep me ups", in the crowd and head the beach balls onto the pitch, that way you couldn't be accused or charged of throwing anything on the pitch.

also is kicking them onto the pitch an offence seeing as it specifies throwing
No doubt you'll be sleeping with one eye open from now on, terrified by the knowledge that it's just a matter of time before the Sweeney are kicking your door in at 5am.
Given that the club still have my old address, I feel sorry for the guy who lives there now. Surrey Police are presumably staking it out at least.
What about when trainers throw water bottles on the pitch when play is stopped, worse still, when players throw them back at the trainer. He could miss one and a spectator gets killed.
Clearly the Met have let themselves be used in a rather feeble attempt to intimidate those protesting.
I also think that we can expect stewards to start behaving more aggressively, and when challenged to claim X and Y have been breaking the law.
Still, if throwing a beachball onto the pitch is going to get you arrested, might as well go the whole way and lob a bag of shit at Squirrel Face while dressed as Pinocchio. Both will probably end up with a police caution ...

Fancy dress for last home game, t-shirt and bermudas.

You know what they say, out of sight, out of Belmarsh....
Therefore, unless the direction changes, all beach balls need to be kicked onto the pitch from the South end of The East Stand.
Beachwear day!
