Just had a look at the Croydon Advertiser - https://www.croydonadvertiser.co.uk/ - I was interested to see how they reported the match last night. In the main headlines there is an article about a pie being thrown on the pitch. Nowhere in the whole paper, not even in the section headed 'Football' is there any reference to or report on last night's game. I suppose if you just don't mention it at all it never happened. Will probably be updated at some point but I was very surprised!
