The actions of a few and many on that particular day could have led to catastrophe for the club. Why do you disguise the facts. On top of that, the path the Club has chosen could lead to even more punishment?
If you look earlier in the thread I said that the club shouldn't have appealed the initial penalties. A pitch invasion in a relative high profile match is bad news... The confrontation with the keeper was just dumb. Challenge the FFA after a reasonable set of penalties... Well, play with matches and you get burned, etc.
I also said on other threads - immediately after the event - that the actions of the supporters were lunacy, and they should have had life-bans.
I don't understand why the club would go to the FFV and seek to overturn life-bans for a couple of nuggets who couldn't control themselves.
But aside from all of these - it's a question of due procedure. The FFV made charges against the club, the club appealed the initial findings and WON. That's due procedure. Then the FFV moved the goalposts and brought in new charges... That's NOT due procedure. That's moving the goalposts.
