Reflecting on it this morning and I still can't believe how badly the club f***ed this up. The pitch invasion was great, brilliant but then people got off the pitch sensibly and awaited the arrival of the players. Perfect.
Then some f***ing idiot, my guess is Richard Hebbard, decided to "punish" the fans for being naughty, and got Samrah to make that announcement, over and over again!!! It's a football match, we got promoted, people were having fun in a sensible non violent way. It was perfect and yet some cock decided to act like they were running a nursery!!!
Hebbard if it was him should be sacked.

I agree it was ridiculous, and people getting all precious over Samrah - for 'just following orders' when has that ever
been a valid excuse?
The only thing which I objected to was the people trying to steal the players shirts etc. I didn't go on the pitch but it was marvellous scenes!
Also I agree the club completely f***ed up, left a sour taste in many peoples mouths in what was supposed to be a promotion party

This thread is worse than a national enquiry. It happened... move on.

If the original decision and the announcements that followed it were made in the interests of 'elf and safety then it was overkill. If that was the reason then the decision to reverse the original decision was even worse. Mrs Inkerman and myself were nearly out of the ground from the South Stand when we heard GOSBTS (I think) and applause suggesting that something was happening. We then turned and forced our way back against the mass of deaf idiots still trying to leave - then because we couldn't see from the running track we had to climb the grass bank beside A Block (slid back down twice), cling onto the fence and pull ourselves up and then work our way to a vantage point in A Block by pushing past people and climbing over seats , all less than easy and not elegant at our ages.
MUCH safer just to have left everybody where they were when the horrible, nasty, vicious, threatening thugs had finally been cleared off of the pitch.

I thought it was obvious the players would come back out. To be honest, when Paul Samrah made the announcement they wouldn't be coming out, I thought it was to get the crowd down, so that when the players came out the explosion of noise would be louder.
Even when they didn't I suspected the players would at least come out for a warm down, so I didn't rush out of the ground.

This.
It's also funny watching people blame the stewards using names like Nazi's etc. They were expecting an invasion and only gave token resistance as one would expect. And this is how it's been done ever since we've been at Withdean. Implying they're the children of the devil or supporters of Hitler - well ridiculous !!! It's not only the people complaining about the pitch invasion that need to calm down but also the people complaining about the people complaining about the pitch invasion. It's text book stuff :
1. Programme notes say keep off the pitch
2. Announcer says keep off the pitch
3. Final whistle goes and people run on the pitch
4. Stewards stick their arms out to show they're attempting to do their job
5. Everybody ignores the stewards and continues to invade
6. The announcer continues to say keep off the pitch
Given it happens EVERY time in EXACTLY this way, why is anybody surprised or moaning ? Some people need to get a perspective on life

Shut the f*** up. When have you ever seen a team get promoted and not go on the pitch and it's not our flat the idot announcer told every one they wernt going to come out, I'm sure you couldn't of been that far out the ground when the players came back out as it was only about 3 mins after everyone left the pitch stop bitching and start celebrating you tit!

I was all up for a pitch invason - but Gus said he didn't want one. The players didn't seem to happy either about it.
Agreed, Bridcutt said to the bbc that he lost everything. All for pitch invasions if needed, but nicking all of a players clothes, boots, socks, shin pads etc, is not really on.
Defo Hebbard that made Samrah announce the teams won't be coming back out too

strong and stable with me, or...
Hardly surprising given what happened at Stevenage!
Agreed, I know everyone gets excited and rightly so, but surely its' better for everyone to get to see the team rather than the few?
Everyone who ran on the pitch last night are TOSSERS.
The crowd are booing them and they still put their hands up when they come back off as if they are heros, "ooh look at me, I'm well hard, I went on the pitch"
This happened at the end of the season a few years ago (can't quite remember which year). We were already safe from relegation before the final game, but people just ran on the pitch on the final whistle anyway. And because of those idiots, the team didn't come out for a lap. What a shit way to end the season.
To be honest, it would have been a good idea not to have brought the team out last night as it would have dissuaded the pricks from doing it again in the final two games. The fact they came out anyway was a mess-up of the highest order which lead to a lot of people unfortunately missing the lap of honour, I suspect that the waiting media had something to do with it.

Exactly. Fair enough if he'd given them away but stealing them is just not on at all... I'm sure we'll see them on ebay in a couple of days
