Oldham's Relegation Confirmed After Pitch Invasion

Oldham Athletic's match with Salford City was suspended after home fans ran onto the pitch to protest. The Latics were trailing 2-1 when the game stopped, with the club 10 minutes away from relegation from the EFL.

What happened?

The match was suspended due to the pitch invasion, and the remainder of the game was played behind closed doors. Oldham confirmed in a post on Twitter that the remainder of the game was played to an empty stadium, with Oldham losing 2-1.

Why it matters for Oldham

As Barrow and Stevenage both won, it ensured Oldham's relegation to the National League, ending their 115-year stay in the EFL. They become the first former Premier League side to be relegated from the EFL.

What comes next?

Former Oldham non-executive director Richard Bowden understands the Oldham fans' frustrations and hopes the club will find new owners to return to being a family community club. Supporters who invaded the pitch held a banner displaying a message to owner Abdallah Lemsagam, which read: "Get out of our club."
