Gaz52 11,837 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 So we're getting fined £800k for something Hibs fans caused? Sounds about right from the SFA Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius72 411 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Taxpayers face £800,000 bill over Hampden pitch invasion Scottish Daily Mail 18 Jun 2016 By Jessica McKay A COUNCIL is facing legal action for £800,000 by an advertising company that claims its hoardings were damaged in the Scottish Cup Final pitch invasion. The Football Company Scotland (FCS) is using early 19th century legislation to seek the huge payout from Glasgow City Council, saying LED advertising hoardings at the Hampden match were damaged by fans. But council sources said it ‘beggars belief’ that it could end up paying out for damage done by supporters. The hoardings were damaged when fans invaded the pitch after Hibernian beat Rangers 3-2. Now FCS has issued a claim to the council for £800,000, plus VAT, using the Riotous Assemblies (Scotland) Act 1822. It says the victim of ‘any unlawful, riotous or tumultuous assembly of persons’ can claim ‘full compensation for the loss or injury by summary action against the council’. It is understood the FCS claim relates to damage to its equipment. A council source said: ‘Taxpayers will be appalled to learn they may have to foot the bill for vandalism at the cup final. ‘There’s footage all over the internet that clearly shows the blame for the damage lies with supposedly over-exuberant football fans. It beggars belief that some obscure, 200-year-old legislation could force the council to cover the cost of their behaviour.’ So far, 32 people have been arrested in relation to the riot after Hibs won the Scottish Cup for the first time in 114 years. Thousands of Hibs fans invaded the pitch and there were reports of alleged assaults on Rangers players. A number of Rangers supporters also came onto the pitch and clashed with rival fans. The pitch invasion delayed the presentation of the trophy and there was no lap of honour by Hibs. The Rangers players received their medals in the dressing room. FCS managing director Kenny Wittman said: ‘Our solicitors are looking at a number of different options regarding the Scottish Cup Final.’ A Glasgow City Council spokesman said: ‘A claim has been received and will be dealt with in the appropriate manner.’ Meanwhile, a fan involved in the invasion has admitted running on to the pitch and assaulting opposing fans. John Galbraith, 31, pleaded guilty when he appeared from custody at Glasgow Sheriff Court yesterday. He admitted conducting himself in a disorderly manner during the football match, running onto the field of play and breaching the peace on May 21 at Hampden Park. Galbraith, from Dumbarton, also admitted assaulting two opposition supporters by punching and kicking one and punching another. He pleaded guilty to assaulting a security guard by seizing hold of him. Sheriff Walter Mercer deferred sentence until next month. He granted bail, with the special condition Galbraith does not attend any UK football match. Three other men denied various charges when they appeared from custody at the same court. Gary Bain, 40, of Pollok, Glasgow, is accused of running onto the field after the final whistle towards an opposition fan, raising his fist and behaving in an aggressive manner. Mark Hendry, 42, from Shettleston in Glasgow is alleged to have entered the field, seized a corner flag pole and repeatedly swung the pole and hit opposition fans with it. Steven Morrison, 21, from Glasgow’s Swinton, is accused of climbing a barrier and running onto the pitch, shouting, gesticulating at opposition supporters, singing sectarian songs and fighting with rival fans. Each of the men was granted bail, with the condition they did not go to any UK football match. Trials were set for January next year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSM 20,892 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 If we're enacting archaic laws, technically it's still illegal to wear a suit of armour in parliament, be drunk in charge of a cow, walk down the street carrying a plank of wood or fire a cannon within 300 yards of a dwelling house. Anyone know where I can buy a cannon? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer time 653 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I take it that all the thousands of people that were on the pitch at the coldplay, rihanna and beyonce gigs at hampden over the summer wouldn't have done any damage to the pitch then ?
