West Ham United have given lifetime bans to five supporters who invaded the pitch during the team's 3-0 defeat by Burnley at London Stadium.
Several fans have also been banned for life for throwing coins or objects "with intent to injure or harm".
Hammers joint-owner David Sullivan was hit by a coin as fans protested in front of the directors' box.
The club said it had taken "swift and decisive action" after acts of "severe violence and physical aggression".
It expects to issue further bans for attempted pitch invasions and violence before the next home game against fellow Premier League strugglers Southampton on 31 March.
Vice-chairman Karren Brady apologised for the events on 10 March, calling it "one of the most painful days" in the club's history.
"We take a zero tolerance approach to any form of violence that endangers the welfare of others, and we are committed to ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for all spectators," said the Premier League club in a statement.
The Hammers have struggled since moving from Upton Park to the former Olympic Stadium in August 2016, winning 12 and losing 13 of their 33 home league matches there.
David Moyes' team are two points and one place above the relegation zone.
Tighter safety and security measures, including an increased police presence, will be in operation for the visit of Southampton.
London Stadium's Safety Advisory Group (SAG), which includes representatives from the club, police, Newham council, and stadium owners and operators, announced the decision after an emergency meeting last week.
It also warned that future trouble could lead to closures.
So that’s 5 lucky fans that won’t have to watch West shambles anymore.

How is this "ban" enforced? Does the FA have a special police unit that enforces bans, "the bans on fans force"?
Seems to me that, at best, this will only mean five more empty seats at WHU home games.

They will say they are trying to deter any further acts of violence.

Coe - Gold/Sullivan - Tory Party.
This was never going to end well for the tax payer or genuine West Ham fans.

I'd smash her north & south in with my fist, but in terms of Humpty Dumpty I wouldn't touch her with Maf's, she's a facking hideous troglodyte spitting image puppet looking fat ugly barstard, not to mention an uppity cuuunt who no doubt thinks ironing my shirts or putting a bit of pie and chips in the oven is beneath her.

Think WHU have made a bigggGGGG mistake with this ban. Won't it just lead to thousands more pitch invasions by fans wanting a life ban ?
The London Athletics track must be the only stadium in the country where restricted-view seats actaully cost more than normal ones do.
