A football loving Gran from Bradford has been banned from watching her favourite team play.
Margaret Musgrove, 63, from Eccleshill, Bradford has been stopped from buying Leeds United tickets for a twelve month period.
Margaret described that she became over excited when her team won, she jumped over the fence onto the pitch to congratulate the players. This lead to Margaret being arrested by the Police and taken to a cell. Margaret said that she was just trying to get some good video footage of the players.
Margaret was tearful in interview to Bradford Community Broadcasting that she was “shocked and devastated ” and that she was appealing to Leeds United Officials to rescind the ban. She went on to describe that she had been a fan for forty three years and that she had never before been banned from watching football.
Margaret launched her appeal on the 25th of May and has not yet recieved a response to it. However she has been heartened by the support that she has been getting from the public who have been shocked at the ban. She told Bradford Community Broadcasting that her best friend from Wales had given her a lot of support, even starting a Facegroup group. The Facegroup group is appealing Leeds United officials to let Margaret attend matches again.
