Trespass / breaking and entering /criminal damage

From the reports it looks as though a number of laws were broken.

Doubtful that the police would be much interested in view of the minimal 'damage'. In the absence of betting irregularities I can see why its not been pursued.

But its hardly the image the FA want to give, and hardly behaviour they want to encourage...
