Frustrated Oldham fans forced their League Two game with Barrow to be brought to a halt as they stormed the pitch.
Supporters were protesting against owner Abdallah Lemsagam.
And they made their ongoing anger clear for all to see while the team trailed 3-0 at home.
Fans ran onto the pitch mid-match around the hour mark, and the referee was forced to stop the game as the players walked off.
It did not take long for the match to be restarted, though, following the invasion.
But the message was certainly heard as the mood grows ever more toxic at Oldham between the hierarchy and the fans.
It is not the first action Oldham fans have taken against their owner.
Last month, a section of supporters poured onto the pitch at the final whistle after a 2-1 defeat at home to Colchester United.
They ran towards the directors' box chanting "We want Abdallah out", with Oldham fans around the ground joining in with the chants.
