Oldham Athletic players were forced to exit the pitch during their latest home game as fans invaded the pitch and sat in the centre circle.
Fans are unhappy at the ownership of Abdallah Lemsagam, and have staged protests in the last four home games with post-match pitch invasions. In the Carabao Cup win over Accrington last month, fans caused a short stoppage to the game by throwing tennis balls onto the pitch.
Latics have started the season in poor form, losing their first four games to sit bottom of the football league. A win over Sutton last week lifted them off the foot of the table, but on Saturday they were beaten 3-0 by Barrow at Boundary Park.
And that performance saw fans step up their protests, as a number of supporters invaded the pitch on the 65th minute of the clash with Barrow after the third goal went in.
Fans ran towards the centre circle, with some sitting down, prompting the referee to take the players off the field.
The supporters were removed and the game resumed, with Barrow taking the three points. A heavy police presence was seen after the mid-game protest, preventing a full-time invasion for a fifth home game in succession.
This week, two Oldham supporters group met with owner Lemsagam, with one, Push The Boundary, describing the relationship between him and the fans as 'untenable'. They intend to stage more protests to secure a change of ownership.
Oldham are 23rd in League Two after the result, with bottom-placed Sutton having two games in hand.
