"They clearly came with the intention to get into the stadium illegally, bringing high-vis vests with 'steward' on the back, with one even carrying a radio and earpiece. Their actions have seen them face very serious consequences in court today and for two people who were so desperate to see this one game, they will now not be able to go to any for three years."
"The two brothers Kane Green, 29, and Dale Green, 31, carried "high-vis vests and radio equipment" to complete the steward look and were able to access "restricted areas" for the sold-out derby. They both pleaded guilty to fraud by false representation and going onto playing area of a football match at Southampton Magistrates Court, resulting in the three-year banning order as well as a £700 fine each."
Kane Green, 29, and Dale Green, 31, impersonated stadium stewards to gain access to the sold-out South Coast derby against Southampton.

Each received a £700 fine and a three-year banning order preventing attendance at football matches. Police stated the pair knew tickets were sold out and still attempted to enter illegally. The fixture ended 0-0, with both Portsmouth and Southampton struggling near the foot of the Championship table.
