Nice try Paul but you're not getting me that easy.
I broke John Byrne invading the pitch from the south stand against Ipswich in 91!I have never intentionally been on the pitch. It's wrong.
However, I have found myself on there a few times, purely by accident, when the force of the wind behind me propelled me on to hitherto grass.
One such occasion was Wigan when a strong wind propelled me down the steps of the WSU and to the centre circle. Then later, after promotion was confirmed, from the North Stand concourse.
Other occasions, when similar climatic conditions occurred, were Bristol Rovers (1988) Ipswich (1991) Southend (1992), Doncaster (1997)
As a child, I unintentionally took a wrong turn through an open gate at the Goldstone and went wandering around the pitch. As I came into the North Stand penalty area my leg began to make kicking movements, as if to strike for goal, like Peter Ward.
Never forgiven.I broke John Byrne invading the pitch from the south stand against Ipswich in 91!
Sadly, I think I may be responsible for him missing the play offs that year....sorry folks.

No you're not imagining it! My favourite haunt in those days was on the terraces towards the south end of the west stand. I used to routinely hop over on to the pitch at the end of the match to exit by the big gate they opened in the south east corner - quickest shortcut to the station!Back in the 60's and early 70's I seem to recall going on the pitch nearly every game.
Or am I imagining this?
