dezgimed Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 A few kids and middle aged chavs will run on waving their arms about. Quite why I don't know, nothing better to do maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deej-Legend Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Why ? What's to celebrate? As glad as I am about not getting relegated, we will look down right stupid if we run on the pitch, celebrating finishing in mid table. If it's true that you've supported the club since the 60s, and yet you STILL want to run the pitch to revel in mid table mediocrity, be my guest, but we'll laugh at you when you're being chased off the pitch by stewards &/or getting arrested for entering the field of play.

We always used to run on the pitch, even when we finished mid table in the fourth division. Mid table in the Championship is NOT mediocrity for a lot of us who have lived through the last 30 years of watching our team fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree completely it's not mediocrity in comparison to how we were before we got promoted, but even so, I really don't see ANY point to try and get on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bully Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 It's a long standing tradition to celebrate the end of the season. Been going on for decades to my knowledge and nothing to do with success or otherwise. This game it won't matter - if we were playing Wednesday, who needed a result to stay up, brought 3,000 fans and we sent them down, then running on the pitch could cause problems. I remember when Preston went up from league 1 a few years back and brought about 5,000 fans - they poured on the pitch and so did City. Astonishing mutual appreciation followed, but if something had been on it for us? - I agree it's the done thing, but I hope the club always keeps an eye on the importance of the game in question.

Agree, the point is it's a good natured "invasion" - wrong word really as the match and the home season are over - to congratulate the players. It does depend on the opposition - real rivals such as Cardiff and there could be trouble - but otherwise it has always gone ahead without problems. Away at Barnsley a few years ago their crowd came on and a few tried to goad the City fans but got no response. It was their last home match, their right to celebrate ( even though we'd just beaten them) and no trouble. It's a tradition all over the country, not just at City. I can't imagine the Wednesday fans will be bothered, they'll be doing the same at Hillsborough the following week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Every season this 'debate' comes up. Well my views are the same as they always been. The bottom line is that its a pointless exercise. Why bother when City have had an ordinary season and will finish 9th at best in the league? Sometimes I think the numpties who have this compulsion to run on the pitch are really wannabe footballers. If you want to applaud the players then its much more civilised to do it from the stands as they do a lap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a bit of a 'glass half full or half empty' debate - i'm a miserable bastard so agree that mid table isn't anything i'd run on the pitch to celebrate because its like one of our athletes finishing 4th in the olympics, but others don't see it that way, so provided the club's happy and the old bill then I don't see the harm.

If we all stood underneath with blow torches and the rest of the ground was on fire, then it might just think about melting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was their last home match, their right to celebrate ( even though we'd just beaten them) and no trouble. That was funny. A few of them came on and started heading towards our end, whether they were looking for trouble I don't know, but a load of police on horses strode on to the pitch from near our end, and the "hardmen" (most of whom looked no older than 15) visibly shat themselves and legged it back up to the other end.

dafarms Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 It really p####s me off when self rightous so and so's always have a go at other fans, who are doing something different to what they want to do. This has been a tradtion up and down the country for decades, I personally won't be doing it, but I will smile watching our other fans being happy. The ones that run on then will be middle aged chavs, numpties etc.., not just plain old fellow Bristol City fans enjoying them selves, but f##k it lets laugh at OUR fellow supporters getting arrested, I would call you the ones that are the numpties, sorry if I have offended anyone, numpties.
