Santas invade football ground in UK

London: Twelve men dressed as Santas stormed a football ground in a UK town during half time, prompting police and stewards to eject them from the venue.

The incident happened during a match between Cheltenham Town and Portsmouth at the Cheltenham Club’s stadium on Saturday.

“Although pitch invasion is an offence for which people can be charged, police consider this was an appropriate and proportionate response to a low level incident just prior to Christmas,” police official was quoted by BBC News.

Police described it as a “minor incident”. The match finally ended in a 1-1 draw.
