Oldham relegated after loss to Salford which saw raging fans invade pitch with match forced to end behind closed doors

FUMING Oldham fans charged onto the pitch and stopped their game against Salford.

Angry supporters ran onto the playing area to protest against the owners with their club on the verge of relegation from the Football League for the very first time.

Fans carried a banner which read ‘GET OUT OF OUR CLUB’ and gathered near the centre-circle.

The League Two match against Salford had to be halted with less than 10 minutes to play.

Salford owner Gary Neville was at the game before making a dash for the exit.

The Man Utd legend tweeted: “Just left Oldham v Salford. Oldham fans on the pitch and it’s pretty moody.”

The game had to be abandoned with fans still on the pitch amid a large security presence.

Oldham manager John Sheridan was in amongst the supporters on the pitch as they protested.

But Oldham’s relegation was confirmed later in the evening when the match was completed behind closed doors after the stadium was emptied.

Video also later emerged showing season ticket holders being blocked from watching the game by advertising hoardings held by club staff.
