no way to back it up, whether we have the authority or
not.

I don't have any problem backing it up. Again, I'm not advocating doing it but the rules give the referee the authority to do so if necessary.

Tony, I hear you saying that you don't advocate doing this
so I guess we are discussing theory. So in theory, you
actually do have a problem backing this up because
there's no way you can tell a home fan from a visitor
fan. You would be guessing, and to forfeit a game based
on a guess is not right by any stretch of the imagination.
As for coaches, game admin, security, etc getting on the PA
and threatening a forfeit, this might work but they
certainly have no authority to do this. And I'm surely not
going to declare a forfeit when their plan backfires.
