There were also three different pitch invasions during the FA Cup quarter final, which the Villains won 2-0. Villa, Albion, and the West Midlands police will be contacted by the FA in order to ascertain what happened. Some Baggies players were confronted by supporters on the pitch in a threatening manner.
However, fans of the Midlands club have also been in trouble for ripping some seats up and throwing them at opposing supporters.
Pulis said the fans: “If that was the situation, they’ve got CCTV cameras up there, those supporters should never come into another football ground.”
He said of the pitch invasions: “This is just hopefully an isolated incident with mindless idiots. I don’t know what they are up to, to be honest with you. I’m old enough to have seen incidents happen like that. I don’t want to have a go and take anything away from what happened on the pitch and what happened in the game. If there’s one thing, Villa should look at the stewarding because with a game at this time of night, 5.30, you need to police it properly and I am sure Villa will look at it.”
