Nexstar Posted 7 May, 2011 Share Posted 7 May, 2011 You say no harm done, not sure the steward clutching his chest and sweating on the floor getting medical assistance in the front of the Northam thought that Well it seemed strange for some of the stewards infront of the Northam to try and wrestle fans to the ground when thousands were already on the pitch.

RedAndWhite91 Posted 7 May, 2011 Share Posted 7 May, 2011 You say no harm done, not sure the steward clutching his chest and sweating on the floor getting medical assistance in the front of the Northam thought that Didn't see that so how was I supposed to know? I meant no harm done in the sense there were no rucks, no smoke bombs a la Burnley, etc. It was a good natured pitch invasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintNick89 Posted 7 May, 2011 Share Posted 7 May, 2011 Well it seemed strange for some of the stewards infront of the Northam to try and wrestle fans to the ground when thousands were already on the pitch. Yeah there was one steward that grabbed a fan and wrestled him to the ground when there was at least 1000+ people already on the pitch and the stewards at the kingsland were waving fans on! Saw the steward take a kicking from people as they ran past trying to make him let go of the Saints fan that he refused to let go of for running on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigchrisy Posted 7 May, 2011 Share Posted 7 May, 2011 Well it seemed strange for some of the stewards infront of the Northam to try and wrestle fans to the ground when thousands were already on the pitch. This. Just let fans enjoy themselves. If you wanna go on the pitch (As I did) go on and enjoy it ,if not sit in the stands and watch. As for the stewards (as usual) a couple of odd 'jobsworths' let themselves down. The rest were fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 7 May, 2011 Share Posted 7 May, 2011 The steward in front of the chapel/kingsland corner did attempt to rugby tackle someone as the pitch invasion began, but soon realised there was no point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 7 May, 2011 Share Posted 7 May, 2011 I was amused to see coppers & stewards were still intent on 'protecting' the away fans when all that was occurring was that 1000's of good natured Saints fans were applauding them and singing "you are staying up - you are staying up" at them. Even before the match had finished the stadium announcer had informed everyone that Walsal were safe because Dagenham were beat - in all my years of following SFC I've not seen that happen before.

saintsforlife7 Posted 7 May, 2011 Share Posted 7 May, 2011 Tbf the bloke at the front of the Northam looked like he was having bad chest problems so may have been his heart.. and people can say glad he got a few slaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfc4prem Posted 7 May, 2011 Share Posted 7 May, 2011 Got right up in the Itchen to watch the players celebrations. But I can completely understand the people hacked off with the pitch invasion, like those in wheelchairs, as it would have been hard to see from the pitch/bottom of Itchen.

SuperMikey Posted 7 May, 2011 Share Posted 7 May, 2011 The steward in front of the chapel/kingsland corner did attempt to rugby tackle someone as the pitch invasion began, but soon realised there was no point! He got hold of him for a few seconds though! I wasn't going to go on the pitch at first (I was sat in Row KK) but then the stewards just gave up so I made my way down there! Cracking.

Draino76 Posted 8 May, 2011 Share Posted 8 May, 2011 Apologies, I called that incorrectly. I went on the pitch as well! Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
