www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-66273898A Gateshead FC match has been called off in chaos after a funeral hearse and a car were driven onto the pitch. The National League club's friendly against Dunston was abandoned at half-time amid extraordinary scenes which stunned watching supporters. Footage posted on social media showed the vehicles being driven in circles in the centre of the pitch. Two men - who witnesses said were masked - then climbed out of the hearse and into the car and left the ground. Gateshead fan Archie told the BBC the intruders "apparently barged through the gate from the car park" then broke through the railings along the edge of the pitch. He said posters were thrown out of the car's window in an apparent protest before "two people in ski masks" jumped out of the hearse and into the silver car and drove off. Matty Hewitt, a football writer at the Newcastle Chronicle, said Northern Premier League club Dunston's UTC Stadium was evacuated as a police helicopter circled overhead following the incident. "Two cars driven onto the pitch with masked men getting out and leaving a hearse on the pitch," he tweeted, describing it as a "terrifying experience with plenty of children about". Gateshead FC said: "Due to an incident on the pitch occurring shortly after half time, tonight's match has been abandoned by the referee."

Carnage. Gives new meaning to the "leave everything on the pitch" cliche.

It’s definitely illegal to have known a paedophile. It’s common knowledge that when one gets arrested, h their friends, family and business partners do too, just in case. Terrible by the police. How come they are moving so slow? Edit: shame for Dunston. They’ll have to find a new pitch or their season will likely be over before it begins. |

Why is it that the kind of people that protest about paedophiles can never spell 'paedophile' correctly?

Ermm idiots like this pulling stunts like that is what is actually illegal. Unless there is evidence of some link between the offence and family members, work colleagues etc then on what grounds would the police arrest them? They may be asked for voluntary interviews and presumably either cleared of suspicion/additional investigation is ongoing. Having tools like these idiots taking “justice” into their own hands is disgusting. Very similar to those paedophile hunters who generally turn out to illiterate imbeciles who like to throw their weight about and are one step from prison themselves as all they are doing is hounding/slandering and sometimes physically assaulting people. Let the police deal with things. |

The club would like to put on record that one individual named on the leaflets distributed during the pitch invasion, have had no connection with Dunston UTS FC, in any official capacity, for over 2 years. The other individual has no connection with our club whatsoever |

Let the police deal with things. Paedophiles are the lowest of the low however there’s a complex process for investigating them and often these kind of stunts make things worse rather than better as they muddy the waters and potentially wreck cases because they’ve prejudiced them before they’ve started. If there’s no truth to what these protestors are saying I’d suggest they get themselves a good lawyer as I’d imagine the target of their protest has very good grounds to sue them. It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out as it’s clearly a very sensitive matter. |

Why is it that the kind of people that protest about paedophiles can never spell 'paedophile' correctly? I recall a few years ago some huge demonstrations in the Portsmouth area where a large bunch with torches and pitchforks turned up to demonstrate against a paedophile moving into the area. The problem was the individual was actually a paediatric consultant 😂 It is understandably a very emotive topic, but quite often the ones making the biggest song and dance have no direct knowledge and just adopt a pack mentality whilst the victims sit in dignified silence. |

According to those who know more than me, it's all gang related. Seedy Steve is unemployed, sorry, an author/podcaster who has done features on one of the two big gangs in Newcastle. One of the people in the hearse was waving a gun around.
