Keep off the pitch?

[bristolseagull]

It was slightly alarming how easily that dickhead 'pool fan managed to get onto the pitch yesterday, thankfully ankergran kept his cool and didn't twat him- I think the club need to look into the stewarding in the away end andmake sure it doesn't happen again- it was a bit of a piss take....we don't want away fans taking liberties on our patch.

 

[JCL]

yep - the stewards weren't exactly taking him down were they?

In fact they looked like they weren't quite sure how to handle it; they ended up getting him back into the stand, but I thought he should have be dragged off and given a bit of a slap!

Should have been kicked out the ground.

Couldnt f***ing believe they just ushered him back into the stand...unless thats new rules for this season for away fans, if so im even more so looking forward to away games

Had to miss the game but do we not have a 'response team' of some meatier stewards for incidents like that? Seems to happen at other grounds and they don't mess about.

I think the old response team are at a bit of a loss what to do now that they no longer have H block to try to out stare. I did see the chunky, youngish (I don't mean fat) dark haired guy at the turnstile entrance to the Northstand Saturday. He was still stood there arms folded, looking 'ard and chewing gum

I quite enjoyed his little runaround.

Some fella got chucked out earlier on when we were given a free kick after a bit of pressure in our penalty area, he ran down the stand and had a go at a couple of the stewards and got flung out. I guess the difference there is one person acted in anger, the other in celebration.

Good stewarding if you ask me.

so its right to run on the pitch after every goal then?

Yep, because that's what I said, isn't it? Every time the ball hits the net all 20,00 of us should storm onto the pitch in celebration.

My point is, when snatching a last minute equaliser after being 2-0 down 300 miles from home, someone who has probably been on the piss since 7am getting a little over excited and running on to the pitch to celebrate with the players for 10 seconds doesn't deserve to be arrested or booted out the ground and 'given a slap'. He didn't go up to any of the Brighton players, he didn't go and goad any of the Home fans. Best it doesn't happen every week, and best everyone doesn't do it, but I don't see any harm done. He probably woke up yesterday thinking "Oh shit what have I done".

Go on the pitch you should be chucked out. Simple as!

Fair points, I didn't even see him, too busy shouting at the lino for not giving us the earlier pen probably!

 

[albionalex]

If you enter the pitch, you should be escorted out of the ground. Simple.

 

[Smithy24]

He did lose a flip flop though

Or it can land you in court. Peterborough are right bastard stewards if you encroach.

I can't see why you are getting all high and mighty about a brief celebration on the pitch, it wasn't that long ago that loads of us were celebrating on the pitch when we clinched promotion, i know it meant more but double standards nonetheless.
