[Albion] On the pitch!

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Nice try Paul but you're not getting me that easy.

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.

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.

I don't have a bucket list, but I do fancy crowd surfing the North stand and being passed to the pitch to then strolling over to young Dunk shaking him by the hand and saying "well done young man."

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

Goldstone - Many a time. Sheff Weds 3-2 getting promoted, Spurs when it all kicked off and the last game there stand out.

Withdean - Several times in a stewarding capacity.

Never forgiven.

That was one depressing day from the shit kit to being beat by Colin effing Wanker

Goldstone - twice I think, Millwall and Doncaster
Withdean - definitely Man City (cup), maybe Chesterfield (H)
GIllingham - never
Amex - Wigan

 

[Giraffe]

Oh and Shrewsbury away
and Fratton Park (I was there once, and the gate was open so walked all over it, left some polos in the goal mouth before someone shouted at me and I legged it)
and Forest actually (similar to above, but only went on to the corner of the pitch before being spotted by someone. Amazes me how easy it is to get into some grounds.

 

[GJN1]

Neve been on the pitch at the Amex but did play three times at the old Wembley. Been in the big bath and everything.

 

[rippleman]

Many times at the Goldstone in the 70s and early 80s.

At away games only twice to my recollection. My first ever away Aldershot (broken crossbars and a sit down in the centre circle) and Bournemouth (Big Match? Organised invasion for publicity during the war years IIRC)

First time 1988 promotion v Bristol Rovers at the Goldstone and second time at Withdean v Stockport County when we stayed up. The second one was with my daughter and was just a casual stroll to the centre circle as it took us a while to get pitch-side from the stand and the euphoric dash onto the pitch had already happened.
