Pitch invasion, from my back row of upper east not much chance. Got there in 2017 just as the players came out of the east players room. From back of crowd I was at the front.

[Albion] Glorious celebratory pitch invasions

My money's on at least one fan, if the result turns out favourable, will absorb too much refreshment during the day and end up getting a ban.
We'd still need a point v City to be mathematically certain of 6th, so I can't see us going under strength for that whatever happens (other than to save players for Villa).
As for the OP, don't think the club will be happy at all if there's a pitch invasion with a game still to go. It also buggers the lap of honour for most of the fans.

We will need no points should we win tomorrow.
We would still need one to be absolutely certain of 6th place. Heavy defeats against City and Villa, though very unlikely, would drop us to 7th.

Give me a realistic set of results!
When you say 'heavy'.

I'll have a correct score double, should pay well!
Irrelevant really. It's a fact, as I said, that to be MATHEMATICALLY certain of 6th we would also need a point against City. So we won't be playing the U18s.
But as you asked, the following would screw us:
A 1 goal winning margin tomorrow.
A 6 goal defeat to City, because we've been out celebrating the 'fact' 6th is in the bag.
A 5 goal collapse at Villa.
Vanishingly unlikely, but then Everton did put 5 past us and Newcastle 4...

A side that ships that amount of goals in two games should not be near European football anyway.

Great stewarding? And Police presence? Great scenes on the pitch and in the stands.

I meant to say how did NF avoid relegation. Yes I agree the stewarding and policing did its job well by the looks of things.

As we have a home game just a few days later, the club will be even hotter on keeping us off the pitch.

Saints fans wont be too happy getting relegated, all we need is a few digs something at them, a dodgy decision doesnt go their way and you have the potential for it all to kick off. I cant recall any trouble with their fans previously but you never know. The club need to stamp down on everything from persistant standing on sides and upper levels to a high steward police presence and then I think we can all hopefully enjoy the occasion without the need to invade the pitch. Its also up to the club and police to set standards in other words we must all play our part respectfully.

Just No. Keep off the players place of work. There is no glory in it, just fuckwit attention seeking toddlers risking a points deduction and jeopardizing a place of Europe.

But if we win tomorrow and put City to the sword on Wednesday, then we must be allowed on the pitch, Shirley 
And Wednesday came from 4 down to beat Posh - that sort of shit happens, and Posh weren't even down a man.
Didn't United lose like 7-0 to Liverpool? These things happen.
And if we qualify in 6th, with a GD 1 better than Villa, we'll strengthen in the summer - and we hopefully won't be down several players from injury and exhaustion, as we could be this week.
