Thedelldays Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 I feel sorry for the players that want to do a lap of honour with there love ones, instead of having to stand on seats high in the stands struggling to soak up a pitch invasion. If we clinch the championship vs Coventry I would want it on the pitch right in front of 31k people and not see jack Schmitt like last season. madness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 You have to be some kind of mong to think you're getting on the pitch at an away game without getting banned or arrested, promotion or not. There's some chance of smpathetic stewarding at a home match, but away ? No. Incidentally, keeping people off the pitch would make them some of the BEST stewards. Why? Has happened lots of times. Look at Charlton at Carlisle a week back. I don't see what the problem is as long as people don't start acting like morons giving it the big'un on the pitch. If enough people were up for strength in numbers it could proabably happen, doubt that will be the case though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 Granted some people will have commitments they can’t get out of, but I bet half of the people that aren’t bothering will be wandering round west quay shopping with the mrs or something similar. Those of you saying your skint, if this isn’t worth dipping into the overdraft for I don’t know what is? Besides, people can get up there for 25 odd quid. Appreciate times are hard but thats hardly going to break the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 it's traditional and nothing wrong with it at all. The rule about going onto the pitch was to protect players. Fans aren't looking to hurt players they just want to pat them on the back. As long as its good natured, and it should be, I doubt Boro fans would have a huge problem with it. To be honest if both sets of fans came on would that be a big deal? We mix afterwards so why not on the pitch? A skate suggested to me that Saints fans lack passion. Of course I don't agree with that, but this sort of thing is what they are talking about. Not selling out a title winning away end. Not going onto the pitch to celebrate...

Pilchards Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 Have you looked at the pictures on the OS from Walsall last season? I don't think it could've been possible for the players to look any happier if they tried. They were even filming the scenes on their phones/video cameras. Their tweets after would also suggest they were impressed with the scenes. Of course they enjoyed it but some 20k supporters never saw them unless you watched the video afterwards. One of the best screensavers I have is the johnstones paint one with the players celebrating at Wembley, I would love to have one of the players lifting the trophy at St Mary's.

I am, however, somewhat resigned to having to celebrate promotion sat on my @rse watching Leicester draw with West Ham on Monday. Also, we have decided to stay in Chesterfield on the way back from Boro. In hindsight, that is also not a great place to celebrate promotion either.

Pop up the road to Sheffield and you'll have a blinding night out. I have a feeling that we'll get a draw and WHU will balls up against Leicester meaning which would be sh*t for celebrating.

What difference does it make when you booked up? Do you think it's relevant because you're more of a fan than those who are 'only going in case we win promotion'?

Everyone I know is driving up so am spending the 6 and half odd round coach trip on my own at the age of 17 and then meeting people there.

That is it for me folks, have a family and a wife that need me! Looking forward to a long summer with them all, and be back for the premier league next season.

ericofarabia Posted 21 April, 2012 Share Posted 21 April, 2012 Can't really see a pitch invasion by us being an issue really. Our 3200 blanket wearing sandwich eating fans wouldn't be able to scale a 3 foot wall or evade any stewards FFS. And who is going to look after the picnic hamper, coffe flask and blankets? Leaving the stewards an easy job of stopping our 105 up for it lads from getting on the pitch. But even they may have issues with struggling with their giant foam hands and jester wigs. Simples.
