SB Posted 25 April, 2009 Share Posted 25 April, 2009 OTT? Be interesting to read views from the 'pitch invaders' which looking at the video appeared to be more than half the ground..

supaimpy_returns Posted 25 April, 2009 Share Posted 25 April, 2009 Disgraceful, watched it from block 38, Kingsland Corner, the police dogs were an over reaction, the atmosphere was good with the majority enjoying the game and the spirit shown by the team. Hope that the fans who ran on realise the game had'nt actually finished, we had a player done,(Spoke with JPS outside after the game who said Wotton didn't look to pretty!) so that'll be a fine and n investigation, that should really help any appeal against the 10 points. As for stealing signs, breaking hoardings, the stewards seats well it wasn't the last game at the ground hopefully, yes most took a piece of the Dell home on the last game but those fans have stolen from the club, a club that had buckets out for money, money that will now be needed for repairs! Hope the first guy on in the yellow shirt from the Kingsland gets a life ban, before that the atmosphere was one of resignation , but i still wanted to give the team my support with them doing the traditonal lap of the stadium and that was denied me, my father and my daugther. None of us were able to say thank you by way of applause to the players who today I felt showed the right spirit. If the FL reject the appeal, and decide because we have no money to pay a fine and decide to levy a further points deduction it won't seem so clever to be one of the first 10 on the pitch then will it ?

Huffton Posted 25 April, 2009 Share Posted 25 April, 2009 So let me get this right. Certain people are quite happy to stay in their seat but because the nasty policeman cam along with his doggy they all thought it made it a good idea to storm the pitch. Superb. And to all the people smashing up the advertising hoardings and whatever else they could get their hands on as souveniers, are you completely f ucking stupid? THe club is skint, broke, and you go and cost it more money. Inspired. Morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasnt clear though, but I think you're right. Either way I wouldnt be surprised if we lose more points for this action by the fans. We are currently regarded as cheats for trying to pull a fast one over the 10 point deduction by the FA, who I am sure will relish imposing further penalty on us to bring us back into line.

Lordswood - if all the Saints fans on the pitch had been doing what you were doing, there wouldn't be an outcry. You probably couldn't see the scale of what was going on in from of the Burnley fans - you may well feel differently when you've seen the tv footage.

Nexstar Posted 25 April, 2009 Share Posted 25 April, 2009 Thing that annoyed me was that there were a few mentions of going on the pitch etc during the game but i didn't think enough people would do it for it to take effect. And then around the 87th minute an army of stewards and police dog handlers came out and everybody suddenly thought "they must be expecting a pitch invasion, might as well do it". I don't think if it had been the normal number of stewards people would have really contemplated invading, so well done to the police for that. Once people were on i started to walk down but after i got to the bottom of the steps i just sat on the advertising hoardings and watched as smoke bombs/coins/bottles were exchanged between fans and the police dogs, for a second season running, were completely useless. Couldn't see any point in it whatsoever, but the burnley fans were complete *****s thoughout the game so the confrontation was to be expected.

rallyboy Posted 25 April, 2009 Share Posted 25 April, 2009 No gossip or rumour, just what I saw - Stupid behaviour by a small section of home fans, throwing missiles was pointless and did the club harm. I also saw aggressive policing that escalated events - you don't calm a situation by making the call to deploy officers en masse and dogs, lining them up facing the Northam, it was an aggressive action. I had no interest in invading and had no part in any of the crass activity that followed, I was with the majority who had a quiet walk around, but I was insulted by the way that the police laid down that marker, and in the current climate it was a poor decision. They already have enough cases to defend without looking for trouble. I saw a smoke bomb thrown from the Burnley section, and then returned. Whether it came from the pitch initially I don't know, I first saw it exit the away end, but who takes a smoke bomb to a match? Not a great day for the minority who couldn't find anyone relevant to aim their anger at, but there is no place for the lunatic few at our club and if this type of behaviour went on at away games next season our reputation would be shot to bits. Rather than 'proud Saints going down with massive support' it would be easy for the media to turn it into 'angry supporters fighting the police as Saints go down in shame' etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Bizzle Posted 25 April, 2009 Share Posted 25 April, 2009 I had a grandstand view and it was a significant number of Saints 'fans' who charged towards the Burnley supporters that started the problems. If they had stayed away from the away supporters it would not have kicked off. The guy that was down on the ground had it coming to him as he tried to charge through the police line and was taken down by a policeman. I think the scenes were disgraceful frankly and sickening. But the worst for me was a middle aged woman who ran from the pitch, was allowed to run all the way up the Itchen stand to the barriers just in front the boxes and hit two other women who were in the box next to us. Yes, this woman had a Saints shirt on. She was shouting, swearing and complaining about the people in the boxes not paying for ST's, whereas all the 'proper' fans had paid for their tickets. I am afraid today that womans actions and the rest of the yobs on the pitch, left a very sour taste in my mouth...witnessing THAT was far worse than relegation to league one. Disgusting. Said woman did not hit anyone. She was having a go at the jumped up little cun sat inthe directors box swearing at our fans. Saying that i gave the board what for after the game.

chi saint Posted 25 April, 2009 Share Posted 25 April, 2009 They're idiots, but then every club has them (derby away in the play offs?), i just didn't want people going over the top about this and blaming it all on saints fans. There were plenty on the pitch with no bad intentions at all, including kids, families and even blind people! Personally i think it's a disgrace that the police had unmuzzled dogs out in a place where kids where So what exactly is a muzzled dog used for? If it's available then use it surely. It ain't going to bite anyone in the stands is it? This thread as usual smacks of 'it's someone else's fault' like so many in society there is a refusal to accept the consequence of ones actions. You invade a pitch and the Police don't want you to, then expect a reaction be it baton or canine. Personally i'd be more concerned about the poor mongrel catching something from biting some of the mongs attending SMS of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1976_Child Posted 25 April, 2009 Share Posted 25 April, 2009 What happened at the end surprised me simply because the atmosphere in the Northam hadn't really been an angry one, passionate yes, but not really agressive. Wierd. I agree. Weird. But the entire atmosphere in the Northam turned very sour when the rozzers brought on their dogs. Talk about how to antagonize passionate fans who have just seen their club relegated. There was no reason to have the dogs on the pitch. Useless policing, made the situation much worse. And then as we were leaving, peacefully and with out incident, the police were standing their videoing us. What ****ing right do they have to film me going about my lawful business. Oh, and this **** sucking fascist government has actually made it illegal for us to film them!! Couldn't make it up. Shame on the police. And as for all the old grannies on here whingeing about the pitch invasion, perhaps if you had actually gone on to the pitch as well you would have seen most people taking pictures of the stadium, applauding and 'celebrating' the end of the season. The yoof who squared up to the Burnley lot were not the brightest and best that Saints fan base has to offer, for sure, but keep things in perspective FFS. Calling them scum is just as childish as lobbing a half-empty coke bottle at each other. Oh, and the flare DID originate from the Burnley fans.

benjii Posted 25 April, 2009 Share Posted 25 April, 2009 "On the pitch" started long before the dogs appeared. I think the dogs were a mistake and shouldn't have been deployed at that point, as it was obvious there would be a pitch invasion regardless. The Plod should have congregated aroubd the Burnely fans to ward of the thick idiots who thought it would be funny to run over there. Regardless of the Plod's errors or otherwise, I have nothing but contempt for the pathetic, mostly spineless, leeches that ran over there (and back again - pathetic ****s). You are ****.

John Boy Saint Posted 25 April, 2009 Share Posted 25 April, 2009 I have to say that we are in enough sh!t with the football league, you could see from the ref that he was under orders, 1 offence ref takes the name of a Saint whereas the Burnley players could multi offend before the ref took their name. We had 5 bookings so we have already incurred a further fine to drain the resources. But everyone knows that the authorities take a dim view on pitch invasions but a bunch of dullards decide that it would be a wheeze and then compound matters by goading the Burnley fans. If we get further penalised I doubt those who started the rush onto the pitch will give a flying ****. The fact that Wotton was laying on the pitch requiring major medical attention and was being surrounded by dinlows from the crowd. Jeez we have some ****wits supporting Saints, sadly the division we are going into have some teams who have some followers with form so it will be interesting to see how brave some of our fans actually are.
