Paddy Power have launched a new intiative to deal with protestors disrupting sport - hilariously offering to 'raise their profile' by sending them up in hot air balloons.

Sporting events have been targeted by individuals from groups like Just Stop Oil over the last year and a half - with a man tying himself to a goalpost during Newcastle's clash against Everton in 2022.

This year the same group sprayed an orange powder at the World Snooker Championships - and pulled off the same stunt at the Twickenham rugby final between Sale Sharks and Saracens last month.
