LONDON: Fans of struggling English third-tier clubs Coventry City and Charlton Athletic caused an extraordinary hold up in their league match on Friday when they threw hundreds of toy pigs onto the pitch at Coventry’s Ricoh Arena in the English Midlands.

Both sets of supporters were protesting against the owners of their respective League One clubs, whom they believe have financially mismanaged their teams.

‘Greedy pig’ is an English expression that can be applied to someone who wants to have more of something such as food or money than is necessary or fair. — AFP
