Favourite pitch invasion

[coach03]

Some of the detail escapes me now, but I think it was when we drew with Rochdale 1-1 to send us up and keep them up in 71/72 season.
A big trek down from the back of the North Stand, struggling to get my trailing leg over the wall as it was pinned down by the hoardes following me and then running to the foot of the west stand and acknowledging our heroes and hugging as many of my mates as happened by.
Now that was a celebration!

Invasion after THAT goal by Garry Nelson at Griffin Park october 1987 fa cup 1st round. Fantastic, fans had to climb over the fences to get onto the Pitch.

Southend away in 87 I think

Anyone remember the one-man pitch invasion at Southend during the first match of the 2000/01 season?

A great goal scored in front of the mighty travelling army of Seagulls fans.

York City - the coverage was amazing. My parents live in Singapore and I'll never forget him telling me his surprise to find that Brighton fans made the headline news on BBC World Service - he then checked to find out if I was in trouble!!!

Until that phonecall I'd thought it amazing that we'd interupted Grandstand (although I've only ever heard that and never seen any repeated coverage - this is the kind of thing that needs to be included on the Centenary vids)

The "boycotted" game when we all surrounded the Goldstone and then broke in to the East stand, then a whole load ran across the pitch and forced B*****i to f*** off.

If you still hate B****** clap your hands

Talking about coverage of the York City invasion, my parents were in Turkey at the time and it was FRONT page news in there local papers... Probably due to the fact Euro 96 was just round the corner.

Couple of non-Albion ones, when Roma won the league a couple of years ago that was mental, never seen anything like it. The players were lucky to get off the pitch at all, let alone with any of their clothing. And although obviously we can't condone that sort of thing, I thought the Bluenose who ran on to take the piss out of the Villa goalkeeper last season was very funny.
