Now, let's suppose that at a game against Bristol City you hurl an object into the crowd which injures someone. What would you expect? A prison sentence? A life ban from football grounds? To be ejected from the ground? To get beaten up by the opposing fans? Well, how about a red card, plus more than a year later a fine equal to considerably less than one weeks' wages? Because the last of those is what Gerard Lavin got. (He also gets his picture seen by millions on the front page of this website, as he trudges disconsolately off the MadStad pitch.) He's now moved to Northampton Town, by the way.
Some Bristol City information:
Record defeat - 0-9 against Coventry
Last Reading victory - 3-2 in November 2001
Nearest station to ground - Parson Street, although in practice it's easier to use Bristol Temple Meads
