No need for it again win the league or not.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Think that is fair enough.

Interesting the last bit re observations .. Do you think they will mention stewards helping fans over the barriers

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Fair enough - we had our fun, now let the players have theirs

 

[halbpro]

That's a far better wording than the previous request to stay off the pitch was. No threats, doesn't feel heavy handed, and an uplifting "Let the players have their moment" element.

 

[BBassic]

As great as the Wigan one was a second would feel a bit contrived. Plus, it would be such a shame to have the players be unable to get a deserved victory lap, whatever the result.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Hopefully watching Bruno and the boys lift that cup, will be more than enough for me.

 

[Goldstone1976]

"Albion have been asked by the FA for their observations following the pitch invasion following victory over Wigan Athletic, including preventative measures taken by the club to avoid such an occurrence."

"Well, guv, we issued a press release asking them to stay off, we tweeted about it, we put it in our programme notes, we issued a request over the PA just before the FT whistle, we hired extra stewards, we tracked social media...what more could we reasonably do? When the crowds decided to invade, for 'elf & safety reasons we told the stewards to not rugby tackle the first few - that's reasonable enough, I'm sure you'd agree".

They always knew it was was going to happen, it was all CYA in preparation for the inevitable FA questions.

This time - there's no need for an invasion. It would be good for us to see, and the players to enjoy, the lap of honour so richly deserved, hopefully with a cup in tow.

Fair enough. Fantastic if championship could be given on pitch and then like every season players do a well deserved lap of honour with there children etc. Much better worded and i will do anything Tony Bloom says

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Would be more than a bit crap if the players and management couldn't do their traditional end of season lap of the pitch with their families, not to mention the small matter of (hopefully) being presented with the Championship championes trophy. Time to praise them like we should and maybe keep off the grass.

 

[T soprano]

Looking forward to seeing the trophy lifted by Bruno on the pitch this time
No need for another pitch invasion, great last Monday but not this time

 

[jimhigham]

It's all very well you people that got on the pitch saying "we've had our fun" but what about those of us that couldn't get to the Wigan match?

I'll give the pitch a miss anyway. I'm in N2A so getting onto the pitch could involve breaking my legs/back/neck.

 

[Paris]

Funny to think that 13 years on from Cardiff Bristol City and their followers will be looking on again as we lift silverware(probably). Still have good memories of the former. A decent weekend in Bristol before and after. Hope those going on Saturday get to see a better match though

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

It's all very well you people that got on the pitch saying "we've had our fun" but what about those of us that couldn't get to the Wigan match?

To which the correct response might well be 'Tough Titties'

 

[smudge]

Be really good if there's a full house to cheer the players on their lap of honour after such a a fantastic season.

 

[Withdean11]

No need for a pitch invasion if we do win on Saturday. But it will happen I'm sure.

 

[matski_98]

The pitch invasion was great and everything but you know there will be a few who will give it another go ... I really hope they don't because I'd like to see the trophy being lifted and thank the players for the season.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

It's all very well you people that got on the pitch saying "we've had our fun" but what about those of us that couldn't get to the Wigan match?.

I can't make the victory parade - I think they should hold one every weekend out of season until everyone that wants to go has had a chance to do so.

You guys. Read my second sentence to see that I'm not being entirely serious about this. I'll be perfectly happy to keep off the pitch and watch a spot of trophy lifting.
