Stevenage Fan To Be Locked Up!

Why would any supporter watch his side produce the biggest upset in the club's history . then charge on the field and 'lamp' one of the players? It has the football world stunned. But 24-year old Robert Fitzgerald did it on Saturday as his side shocked Newcastle with a 3-1 win. The fan, from Stevenage, has been charged with common assault and going on to a playing area at a designated football match contrary to sections 4 and 5 of the Football Offences Act, Hertfordshire Police said. He has been bailed to appear before Stevenage Magistrates on Jan 26. Stevenage's Scott Laird was knocked to the ground after the club's 3-1 victory against Newcastle. Police and the Football Association both began investigations after Laird was floored when fans ran on to the pitch as League Two Stevenage celebrated Saturday's giant-killing. There is only one thing for it - LOCK HIM UP!
