[Albion] To the clowns who ran on the pitch from the North Stand

[Winker]

They were probably Liverpool/Arsenal/Spurs fans.

 

[The Clamp]

enjoy your ban......after several reminders to stay off the pitch... #idiots

I bet you mock people who dance at weddings and nightclubs but secretly wish you had the self confidence to get up yourself.

Probably the offspring of the upright docile citizens who denounced the pitch invasions during the Archer regime.

Sorry old chum Im 57 and was well and truely alive and active during and for years before Archer.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I am in a good mood but imagine if a few 100 went on the pitch we may have been denied the ' lap of appreciation'

Just saying......no excuse for it.

But they didn’t though.

End of season, last game at home, whistle blown, all good to me

Indeed, this used to happen every time we scored at home in the early 90's. I wouldn't do it, but no harm done

My god, bemoaning fellow fans for getting caught up In the moment after an historic win to secure football in the elite league for a second season.

Shows the club are not so uptight and can see sense as no one was banned for going on the pitch and understand the occasion.

What I want to know from those that thinks this is a disgrace from our fellow fans is, How did that effect your experience and do you truly believe that the hand full of fans out of 30k should get a ban for their actions? Did you feel the same when we beat Wigan?

 

[pastafarian]

The blokes who ran on from the North Stand were having a beer after the game so no ban for them it seems
Sorry to let everyone down on that one

Good news, common sense prevails.

They should neither be banned nor applauded.

But TBF a misjudged pitch invasion, complete with obese wobbler running excitedly for the first time in decades, a nifty sidestep as a steward discovers he doesn't have the rugby skills he thought and another showing him view it's done just added to the occasion.

Brighton should say they have been banned !! But not ban them, Then told they are "naughty boys, don't do it again".

Why should the club lie ?

 

[phoenix]

Why should the club lie ?

Ban them until the end of July then,

It then gives the impression they won't take any nonsense. But are realistic about emotions.

 

[Perkino]

Did in result in the 20 minute wait from final whistle to the lap of appreciation starting?

All it was lacking was the Benny Hill theme tune. Add that and we're onto a comedy winner.

The club didn't mind, the stewards were relaxed and let the fans back into the stands, we all had a good laugh at their expense. What's not to like?
I went on the pitch at Withdean, after our Great Escape with Russell Slade, and on the final day in 2011. I think I went on the pitch when we beat Man City in the League cup, but I can't remember.

Quite, summonsed to Barber’s office for a dressing down will surely suffice? Having to endure his voice for 5 hours will definitely make them think twice about their future conduct.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

As an aside, why did the club play the Great Escape at the end? Seems an odd choice of music.

It's all to do with the guest naming of the exit tunnels:
[MENTION=205]Tom Hark, Preston Park[/MENTION]
[MENTION=15297]Dick Head[/MENTION]
[MENTION=1200]Harry Wilson's tackle[/MENTION]

I thought it was heavy handed by the bald steward to be honest. I know it is a big deal running on the pitch in terms of safety and security, but it was a completely over-the-top tackle of the fan, could have resulted in injury to either of them, or developed into something it never would have been.

Agreed. Looked like he has been waiting for that all season. Saddo. Unnecessarily over the top.

Because we were odds on to go down and we beat Manchester United at home with 2 games to spare - maybe not the Great Escape, more Epic Escape!

Still has a special place that bit of music for our ultimately futile defeat to Burnley with 9 men.
