A Barnsley fan has received a banning order after throwing a tennis ball onto the pitch during a fan protest.
The tennis ball protest occurred on Saturday 7th March at Oakwell in a home match against Exeter City.
Multiple tennis balls were thrown onto the pitch shortly after Barnsley’s second goal, as supporters vented their frustration against the ownership group.
