A spontaneous pitch invasion is one of the rare joys of football, for fans it is moment that is hard to match, when a match is so incomparable the FA should really over-look it.

See my post above /\

you have a lot to learn, conboy.

after a can or eleven, there is nothing better than a half time bovril.

Past pitch incursions have resulted in problems for the club, and general fan invasions in football stadiums once meant that fences had to be erected and that spoiled things for everyone.

Anyway, what would be the point in invasions for every match? It would then make it a standard procedure that would lose its' 'big moment fervour' aspect - as well as getting the club in trouble at a crucial time on the cusp of our stadium move.
We really wouldn't want the FA insisting we have restricted space between fans and pitch, or more fences.

did you used to steward at the goldstone?

Maybe they will?. I am not 100% sure if we have recieved a letter but i would imagine we would have due to the players safety as they were still on the field.

Whingy got mugged of his shinpads and Steve Thompson was mugged of shorts and shirt!!

Whilst i can't condone the pitch invasion it did look damn good from what i saw.

Whilst I appreciate that there is an inherent safety issue, I find it very frustrating that the authorities are trying to squeeze anything remotely enjoyable out of the game.

If they are concerned about the safety of the players, why are they not overly concerned about the welfare of the fans? We are enforced segregation (as it should be), but (the fans) are allowed to cross paths before and after the game?

If we were issued a warning and somehow managed to progress through the rounds, culminating with a defeat of another big gun in the latter stages, would they really issue a fine? I would lose all faith (what little is left) in the whole game.

No was either too young or when i was old enough i was in the forces.

Why do all my threads go off topic:thud:

What do you think about the political situation in North Korea?

Like i said i can't condone it but as a fan i can see where you are coming from. I was one of those that went on the Goldstone pitch several times in my past!!

They are concerned about the welfare of the fans or there would still be fences between the players and fans and away fans with segregation outside the ground and all the exits locked until final whistle. Look where that got us. OK i think Lord justice Tayloy did go too far in his report especially with the abolition of terraces.

I would like to hope the F.A. would use some common sense but did they when it was found that Archer and Belotti removed the no profit clause on the Goldstone Eventually maybe.

Stewards and police did cordon off the fans on the pitch from coming over to the away stand, as they chanted "'oo are ya", and if they intended and were allowed to run amok at the away gate en masse, the club and our status in the cup might well have suffered.
It was fairly routine marshalling of the fans - mostly kids in this case, and probably mostly kids that rarely attend week-in league matches.
As was said, there was less likely to be any problem outside as the general mood was not one of violence but more jubilation vs disappointment. If called upon by the outside stewards - then the police and inside stewards will very likely be able to act in the event of anything arising.
So yes, they would be concerned about fan welfare if they heard that there was a need to worry, but happily our record at Withdean remains impeccable, and seemingly yet to be threatened by any occurrence. Touch wood it will always be that way, and we'll say an eventual farewell to this stadium with heads held high, grateful and with impressed local residents in our wake.

These locals have also been quite reasonable and level-headed about us in their neighbourhood too, on the whole. Perhaps the club will thank them too, with a special invitation to Falmer, once we've moved on.

So far, everything has gone fairly smoothly - and that helps the authorities to overlook the one-time of enthusiasm that spilled over last Wednesday.

There was a man there from the F.A. to oversee us last week at Withdean, by the way.

To say nothing of the Chief Constable of Sussex Police who was also there.

Hence the before and after comment. I was making a point referring to the safety issue of potential trouble. We are segregated during the game, but not before or after.

The local residents HAVE been reasonable save for the local numpties who saw fit to deliver the SWEAT newsletter (Save Wiithdean Environment Action Team) with scare stories of urination, vandalism and further crimes. My sister (just to spite me) even signed the petition to stop us moving into Withdean Stadium

Plus when one of the re-applications for planning permission was in the pipeline, a local busybody made numerous copies of the application with a personal phone number (his own) to ring in a confidential manner and seek advice as to how to oppose the move.

Withdean has improved immeasurably since The Albion moved there, in my humble opinion. I remember the hoo-haa in my folks' road when they put up the fences around the nature reserve. Only because they then had to lift their rubbish as opposed to an unobstructed dumping.
