"It is an offence for a person at a designated football match to go onto the playing area, or any area adjacent to the playing area to which spectators are not generally admitted, without lawful authority or lawful excuse (which shall be for him to prove)."A fine of up to £1,000 can be handed to a person found guilty of the offence. According to the Football (Offences) (Designation of Football Matches) Order 2004, a designated match is classified as "a game in which one or both of the teams represents a club which is a member of the English Football League, the Premier League, the Football Conference or the League of Wales, or represents a country or territory". This list evidently excludes women’s games completely, meaning that the pitch invasion was not an arrestable offence unless the man would have assaulted anyone, or committed public indecency. The Athletic add that the police are not present at women’s games unless factors such as intelligence, attendance numbers, any pre-planned disorder, pockets of criminality, crowd dynamic such as a derby, or counter-terrorism dictate that they need to be in attendance.
