Seriously, is that what you were thinking when fans ran onto the pitch...?
Please give me an example of a team getting fined for fans entering the pitch when they have just completed a major cup shock.

With fully 2000 people already on the pitch, a Steward chased after me as I entered the fray. f***ing Wanker.

There are some people on here who need to get a grip. Comparing a joyous pitch invasion to speeding, comparing last night to the Lincoln games and all the trouble that preceded it, getting high, mighty and very sanctimonious about following the letter of the law.
Last nights result was a major cup upset. We've not done one of them in years. 14 if I remember correctly, and that was only Leicester city. Thousands of people ran on the pitch to celebrate. The stewards should have made a token attempt to stop it then let the people on and manage the situation from there. They shouldn't be beating fans.
The F.A are going to do NOTHING about last night. It was a perfectly natural reaction, one that used to be fairly commonplace when football was, you know, fun. If people were steaming onto the pitch with weapons and with the intent to have a go at the man city fans, then yeah, get on your high horses and pompously twat on about how morally outrageous and abhorent it all is. Don't do it for fans celebrating and enjoying themselves with the team.
Jesus wept.

Do a search on the thread about the pitch invader from the last game of last season at Withdean. There's some photos of a steward using excessive force there. See if its the same bloke. Cos he was gagging to get stuck into H block last night. In fact Dover kept warming some kiddies in the row behind us to sit down for their own safety, cos the skinhead steward seemed to be chomping at the bit to try out his, um, restraint techniques. Not saying it's the same bloke like, but seems a bit of a coincidence...

Stewarding offers the opportunity for people with personal issues to act like complete plonkers. Absolutely - a token effort and then just ask the less determined not to go on the pitch was the correct approach. Report the idiot - he should not be anywhere near our club - let alone paid by it.

Bit of a generalisation there!!!
The Truth report it to the club as to have fractured your wrist the force would have been way excessive.

Again that's just a generalisation.

agreed, you're in a no win situation, live and learn-
anyway, how slow must you have been running to get caught by a steward?

Only the badged up stewards
I'm not getting on my high horse - I thought the invasion was spontaneous and brilliant to watch - I took a picture of it on my phone - but I was genuinely worried about what the FA might do and it's the last think we need right now.
It was a great result - a brilliant and funny pitch invasion - but it worried me yes.
I think maybe you have over-analysed a comment that was merely trying to verbalise why I decided not to run on the pitch.
Seriously, they have the authority to rough up under 16s in that manner?

Not roughing up anyone but yes they can use reasonable restraints. Where was this Trigger?

Seriously in front of which block because that is well out of order and also needs reporting to the club.

I didn't say it applied to all stewards - just that it offered the opportunity. I am sure there are different reasons for being a steward - getting paid to watch football being one - but another is the opportunity to act like a billy big-bollocks.

You f***ing thick plank. Thats abit like moaning you got aids after raping someone. If you hadn't broken the law you'd be fine.

Hmm, All stewards break the law, even if it's 'only' speeding.
