Club wants only women and children in stadium, after spectators ban

Romanian Times

Romanian football club Petrolul Ploiesti, which was sanctioned for six matches to play without spectators due to the fans' violence, is asking for women and children to be allowed into the stadium, following the Turkish Fenerbahce Istanbul model.

Petrolul Ploiesti said on its website today (Thurs) that it was informed of the decision by the Discipline Commission of the Professionals' Football League to ban spectators' access for six matches. The decision was taken after a Petrolul supporter entered the pitch during the match against Steaua Bucuresti and hit a player with a metal object in the face, breaking his cheek bone.

The football club was also fined 15,000 Euros (60,000 RON).

Petrolul Ploiesti wants women and children to be allowed to watch its home matches, during the ban.

Prosecutors detained the football fan for entering the field and attacking a player and he was arrested for 29 days.

Dragos Enache, a Petrolul Ploiesti fan, entered the pitch during the game, and hit Steaua Bucuresti player George Galamaz with a hard object. The player was transported to hospital first in Ploiesti, then in Bucharest, the Prosecutors' Office announced on Monday.

Prosecutors are continuing their investigations.

The League I match turned into a real fight on Sunday night after a Steaua Bucuresti player was hit by a supporter who entered the pitch and the goalkeeper suffered burns due to a small explosive thrown onto the pitch.

George Galamaz, from Steaua, suffered a cheek bone fracture, and is expected to need 45 days of medical care. Goalkeeper Ciprian Tatarusanu, suffered burns to the neck and the back.

Several players fought back the fans who had entered the field.

The match Petrolul Ploiesti - Steaua Bucuresti (0-2) was suspended after the first half due to the violence displayed by the Petrolul Ploiesti supporters.
