OLDHAM Athletic have threatened to ban supporters who are identified as participating in Saturday's pitch invasion.

The home game with Salford City was delayed by almost two hours after hundreds of fans stormed the pitch at Boundary Park.

Latics were trailing 2-1 at the time, with no change to the scoreline when play eventually resumed, resulting in the club being relegated from the Football League for the first time in its 126-year history.

Club officials are now looking at footage to identify individuals involved in disrupting the game.

A club statement read: "Oldham Athletic is carrying out an investigation on the pitch invasion that occurred in the last home fixture against Salford City.

"The Club will again liaise with Greater Manchester Police and efforts are being made to identify those who encroached onto the pitch, which is a serious criminal offence.

"Several persons have already been identified and it is almost certain when appropriate club bans will be issued."
