WEST HAM have slapped the Burnley pitch invaders with lifetime bans.
Hammers chiefs vowed to clamp down after crowd trouble during their March 10 clash.
Several people have also been banned for throwing coins and objects towards co-owners David Gold and David Sullivan, who were in the directors’ box.
A club statement read: “Lifetime bans from all West Ham matches, both home and away, have today been issued to five individuals who crossed safety barriers to enter the field of play – a criminal offence that is a severe breach of stadium safety regulations.
“While a number of individuals have also been banned for life for violently throwing coins or objects with intent to injure or harm on the bridge directly in front of the directors’ box.”
