Keep Off!

[Is it PotG?]

Sorry, I must have missed something - have we already been promoted?

You can get 100/1 that we won't be.

 

[Me and my Monkey]

I won't be able to get on the pitch from the East Upper, and I too want to see the players walk around. Surely they could do that after a pitch invasion though? Fans running on and cheering for 5 minutes wouldn't be the end of the world.

That's what happened at the Withdean after we were promoted from League One. After a very severe telling off, and having been told that as a consequence of the fans' naughtiness, the players would NOT be coming out again, they did anyway.

Anyway, chickens, eggs, etc...this is all very dangerous talk!

 

[Nixonator]

No - but maybe a few of them will be unlucky enough to be nabbed by a steward or captured on CCTV (or Sky HD footage)?

To what end? We're going to ban you but the other 10k are fine?

People are thinking about this way too much. The majority of the North will lead it, just like before, and then it will be your choice if you want to join them.

 

[BeHereNow]

I think those on the season ticket waiting list must be hoping there is a pitch invasion, and lots of current ST holders are banned for next season freeing up available seats.

I would just refer everyone to S4 Football Offences Act 1991

It is an offence for a person at a designated football match to go onto the playing area, or any area adjacent to the playing area to which spectators are not generally admitted, without lawful authority or lawful excuse (which shall be for him to prove).

You have been warned


You are also ruining the occasion for the players who rather than being able to celebrate at the final whistle have to rush off, and those that are caught by the mob have to struggle through to safety while having their kit ripped from them.

Ohhh! The man with the big rule book told me what to do, I'm scared!

Seriously though, thanks for the concern, I'll take my chances thanks...just like every other team's fans when promoted.

Can understand why they've said this but it is merely lip service, a number of clubs have secured promotions, championships even Premierships, there is the obligatory pitch invasion, then with large messages on the scoreboard and expert stewarding the pitch can be cleared fairly quickly for the players and staff to come back on for their lap of honour.

Fair point Bruno but I'm going on with my son, not just because we've gone up but because of all the crap the fans of this great football club have had to endure over the years, all the dark times, times when we all thought we might not make it, and as previously stated myself and everyone will get back in the stands quickly and then you and your team mates can come on to the adulation you so richly deserve.

I will also be going on to the pitch because the likes of Roy Chuter, Sarah Watts, Paul Whelch, Jamie Brynin, Robert Eaton, Ted Emery and many, many others cant.

And I hope we will all raise a glass to them on Monday night and in the coming days and weeks.

After about 25 minutes to half empty stands

I've just had a HORRIBLE feeling all these threads will be in vain

Really. A lap of honour after the Wigan game no matter what. Even if we lose at wolves and to Wigan and Huddersfield have won on Friday. Would seem an odd decision in what would likely be a subdued atmosphere

Yes, we have a "lap of honour" at our last home game for every season.

Btw, we're only getting in the pitch if we go up.

 

[Me and my Monkey]

After about 25 minutes to half empty stands

Well, I stayed. I had no doubt they were empty threats. Was it really 25 minutes?

 

[BeHereNow]

If Sir Chris says "stay off the pitch", then I'm staying off the pitch.

That and the fact that I'm at the top of the WSU.

If you think he actually said that.

Then they can share their anecdotal tales in the years to come, of those pesky hoodlums running on the pitch spoiling their allotted clap for the players, thus deciding to leave early in protest before they came out.

 

[neilbard]

It would be idiotic to run on the pitch given the games that are left to play. Great logic ruining the pitch.

I think the Rugby World Cup ruined the pitch

 

[BeHereNow]

Oh come on - who gives a monkeys if we are abused on social media or look tinpot? Go on the pitch if you must but don't do it because of what others will say if you don't.

A lot of people do care actually. That's not the reason why I'll be on the pitch though along with thousands of others enjoying a once in a lifetime moment.

 

[Hamilton]

If you think he actually said that.

Of course he didn't. It's a press release, which he'll have approved.

Ha!

Knowing Sarah as we both did, you know full well, that she would have been stood at her seat, next to Liz, tutting at you for doing so!

Only idiots leave before the encore. Everyone else knows the bands coming back out to play their biggest hit.

oh dear

But bristol city is our last home game. That's my point. You said a lap of honour no matter what after Wigan

Incidentally after attending the Goldstone since 87 I'm well aware of the annual lap of honour after the last home game

He understands them a lot better than most, in his position.

The club are making a public statement that they absolutely HAVE to make. Anyone who is surprised by it is a bit simple.

Not as simple as the bloke who emailed Barber asking if he could help facilitate the pitch invasion from the WSU...
