Imagine the situation - Stoke are 1-0 up with 5 minutes left in a home match. We're also under a bit of pressure. One of our defenders lumps the ball into the stands for a throw in. The best policy in this situation is surely for the person who catches the ball to 'fumble' it so that it lands under the seat and takes a little bit longer to find, especially if it accidentally gets knocked up the row, allowing precious time on the pitch to be wasted. You see, we're not allowed to use that nasty multi-ball system anymore so there's only actually one ball anywhere near the playing area.
There were no repercussions for the crowd in the 1920s when we agreed to draw a game against Burnley 0-0 in order to save us both from relegation. In that match, it quickly became apparent that the game was fixed as a 0-0 and so when the ball went into the stand, the crowd held onto it and didn't give it back. I think a few of them actually ended up in the River Trent. This led to a humorous incident as the ball was going into the stands and both a linesman and policeman decided that the crowd must not get it. They ran towards the ball from either side...and promptly collided, flooring them both.
