And what happens when they do it again?? Obviously nobody knows if they will, but we have to set a precedent. If people and clubs know what the ultimate sanction will be it might make some people think twice.
Deterrent. Punishment. Learning.

So a group of X teams "fans" go to their arch rivals, Y Team, and cause mischief to get them thrown out of the cup then?
As I stated above there is a team who gets 5 times their usual attendance on FA Cup days, how can a club vet these people coming through the doors? The once a year fans won't care of the consequences for the club.
It would appear from reading another forum it was the Yeovil fans who identified the persons later arrested. Security personnel on the day asked them to leave and they wouldn't, police are overstretched anyway let alone with a huge march in London that day, so they obviously were not present. I'm not sure what else Yeovil could do except support their opponents in the way they did
