Premier League managers on pitch invasions and fan violence

New measures have been agreed on by the clubs of the premier league.

The stewards will be provided by visiting clubs.

The 20 top-flight clubs did not discuss the topic of partial ground closings.

Richard Masters is the chief executive of the premier league.

It is against the law to enter the pitch at all times. Under no circumstance should players, managers, match officials or staff fear for their safety, just as fans should stay protected in the stands.

New measures for next season will make it clear that the league supports club and football-wide bans for offenders.

The majority of fans are law-abiding and they will not be ruined by the minority.

Crowd behavior is an issue we and our clubs are addressing as a matter of urgent importance.
