At the end of the day rules is rules as stated elsewhere on this thread and it,s the FL that set them, If ASFC are found to be in breach of these rules it will be the club that pay the price also the police can re catorgerise any further matches at the crown which will also inccur cost to the club.
We have so far been in a very lucky position were certain aspects of the FL regulations have been woolie round the edges and a blind eye has been turned but in truth how many times do people have to be told not to throw things onto the pitch what do they expect to happen if they get caught??
I do think that things will now change (for the worse in my opinion) at the crown no matter who was to blame for this inccident and I would not be supprised to see fans being searched even more stewards and police and overall a clamp down on anything regarded as bad behaviour or a breach of FL league rules.
At the end of the day there is no chance of a statement from the club until such times as all the evidence is gathered, to comment before would be like shooting themselves in the foot.

Swore i'd never post on here again,so here goes for one day and one day only.Having read through the posts regarding the problems during and after the match i can see both sides of the argument,having been on the clayton end for the Newcastle game it was great to see everyone in high spirits.As Stanley convert says the throwing of any object onto the pitch is against league rules and the club will bear the consequences when the dust settles.The smoke bomb pellets were a stupid idea being let off in a confined area with people so close together,these smoke pellets are potentially toxic and can harm anyone with or without breathing difficulties,the empty container was also in the goalmouth and had obviously been thrown at Tim Krul along with a few coins.I have done a lot of work inside the crown ground (including clearing up all the till rolls and everything else that was thrown into the goal area during the Newcastle game) since the end of last season, and it saddens me to see that certain people are giving Mick Schultz a lot of stick over the ensuing problems that followed the game.Do any of the people involved realise just how much Schultzy does for ASFC,he's not only head of security but Kitman,gopher and a host of other duties (exccept when he's trying to delegate them to me lol).Get off schultzy's back and let him get on with his job,i for one wouldn't want his job and i don't think many other people would be able to do what he does.My only hope is that the events of wednesday night are sorted out and any heavy handed stewards are dealt with accordingly,common sense and thought cost nothing,i also hope that the events of wednesday don't come back to haunt ASFC.The cost to the club for extra policing which could be forced upon them (£3000 upwards) would put extra strain on a already tight budget,i sincerely hope it doesn't come to this.The club needs all the support it can get,so perhaps the fans should put a little thought into what they do to help not jeapardise ASFC, by the way i thought the effort that went into the banners for the newcastle game were fantastic,shame the night had to end in such a fashion.
Onwards and upwards STANLEY.
