1976_Child Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 So long as our esteemed Yoof don't go and taunt Walsall if they are relegated then I can't see the harm in a wee bit of pitch invasion. And to be honest, if Dag lose and by some miracle Walsall do stay up they might be on the pitch too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Reigned Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 IMO a pitch invasion should be a spontaneous thing, ie not something that's debated in detail beforehand but something that just happens. I'm all for being caught in the moment (ie Sheffield Utd survival match), as that was a massive adrenalin rush and totally spontaneous, but given that we all know what the outcome will be on Saturday it seems a bit pointless to me. That said, I'm sitting in Row F on Saturday, so if everyone else around me piles on you can expect me to do so too, if only to avoid being William No Friends sat in the stand on my own!!

knellster Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 Brilliant scenes, this is football and there is no better rush of adrenaline than running on the pitch, some of the others on here sound better suited to nights at the theatre clapping politely and shouting encore! Really? After the year we've had the best rush of adrenaline is running on the pitch at the end of the season? Have to agree with a previous poster who said it just shows how small time we really are, and I don't believe it's ever spontaneous. When we beat the franchise to get to Wembley nobody ran on to the pitch because they knew the consequences - if pitch invasions really were spontaneous then people wouldn't have been able to help themselves and they'd have run on anyway.

How does it? Leeds fans ran on the pitch when they won promotion from League One. Are they small time? No. They're the biggest club in The Football League.

st alex Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 Disagree I'd say they are/should be spontaneous, they should certainly be as a direct consequence of the result of the match and since our result will be meaningless, I don't really think there's that much point. Its like winning a cup final and then pitch invading the next home game. Last game of the season always has a great atmosphere, I'd say just make it even better by singing louder and longer. Laps of honors can be quite special too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFear Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 i cant believe so many people think such brilliant times are had by running onto a football pitch as has been said, when its a spontaneous spur of the moment type thing, then maybe it has some merits but when people come onto a message board 2/3 days before a game proclaming "im going to run onto the field sat", unless you are under 12, its perhaps a little sad but if thats what gets your juices going. good luck to you. i just hope you all clear off to allow the other fans to show appreciation to the players for a job well done. then after that, you can all go back to running around again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cryoman1965 Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 Can't wait to get on. I'll let a few brave souls go first though to make sure the stewards are occupied. Safe bet is to follow a tubby on the field. He will be an easy target for the stewards and give you a chance to get away. Unless you are of said stature then avoid until atleast 10,000 people are on the field. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st alex Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 Did we do one for the last home game of last season, or was it the season before to celebrate our relegation?

JRM Posted 6 May, 2011 Share Posted 6 May, 2011 A few of the lads were talking to Adkins and some of the players on Monday night out in town and he was saying there is nothing like a good pitch invasion and the whole squad is looking forward to it, Adkins has even set his video recorder for the highlights so he can relive the moment the fans spill onto the pitch at the final whistle, so don't let him down and get on that pitch.

georgeg Posted 6 May, 2011 Share Posted 6 May, 2011 Wouldn't it be nice if fans could stay off the pitch on Saturday, at least until the players have been able to do a lap of honour? I know everyone wants to acclaim their heroes but if there's a pitch invasion following the final whistle then a great day of celebration could just fizzle out. Is it too much to hope that we can applaud the team as they do a stroll around the stadium without being submerged under scores of overenthusiastic fans. I can't help thinking the team would prefer it that way. Harry it will be just like the Sheff Utd game .. pitch invasion then fans back to the stand for the players lap of honour ... easy and simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draino76 Posted 6 May, 2011 Share Posted 6 May, 2011 A pitch invasion for being promoted from League 1; after we have known we have been promoted for 6 days? Get a grip you mongtards. Did any mongtard invade the pitch after the JPT? No. I'm happy we got promoted; very happy, the proverbial 'over the moon' even; but I don't want some fat 40yr old c u nt trampoling on my 7ry olds head to try and get on the pitch. If any try; the result for them will be disastrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macey_J2 Posted 6 May, 2011 Share Posted 6 May, 2011 It worked pretty well in 2008 when we stayed up on the last day against Sheffield United. A minute before the game I remember hearing the tannoy annoucement "THERE WILL BE NO PITCH INVASION TODAY", seconds later thousands of us were on there. The players had a ring of stewards around them as they went around the pitch, seemed all ok to me. Unfortunately it didn't work out that way. The pitch was invaded, the players went in and came out again. Then everyone got off the pitch, even only if it was as far as the red surface around the pitch. The tannoy bloke said, 'the players are going to do a lap of honour, if you dont keep off the pitch, they will go back in'. As they started, everyone was off, and as they made their way around the pitch, the people who the players had walked past invaded the pitch behind them and it became a farce from there. At the end everyone was on the pitch anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 6 May, 2011 Share Posted 6 May, 2011 Before the Sheff Utd game I told my little boy that I would not be running on the pitch, told him that for a club like ours staying in the Championship was not something to be running on the pitch for. Come the final whistle and I'm off, gone past him, over the barrier and last seen dancing around on the hallowed turf. It was a spontaneous act and I feel that thousends of others were the same. Saturday wont be the same, and I really want to acknowledge the great job that Nigel and boys did by staying in the stands as they do a lap of honour.
