That's on normal match-days. You're making comparisons of a normal circumstance to a covid environment.
The only way you are making reasonable comparisons here is if all of yesterday's events happened
whilst we were back to normal. In that sense sure you can blame a lack of security on match-day etc.
You're naieve to think if that's not the problem. It's a sport first and a business second. I'm not saying only us fans were affected - and I never even insinuated it. But Sky pundits who are endorsed by their employers to condemn the protests refused to do so. ESPN was cutting off their staff speaking their mind. Many rival fans applauded the work of 99% of the fans whilst condemning only the violence associated by the few.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make with money lost, here. That they need to fine to make up for the missed revenues? No, that's not why you fine clubs
You fine them if they did something wrong, and failed in their due care. Not if protestors broke down doors in a locked stadium, which has the same levels of security as every other PL club. Not if fans congregate outside a hotel that has feck all to do with the stadium.
I've always considered this view, but you don't fine a club just because of circumstance. That's not how fining works.
No, it's not a fair punishment because the PL will try and say "if you make inconvenient protests that delay our schedule and take money away from our businesses, then we will hurt the fans more". That's only going to piss fans off even more.
