Slack Bladder Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I think a pitch invasion is inevitable I doubt I will go on the pitch myself, but hell, we don't win a league very often, got to bloody enjoy it !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten minutes of rough Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Good old Steve comes over as a bit of a miserable old curmudgeon at times, wouldn't take the call from the coach on the way back from Bradford, doesn't wave when we call his name, and now this... Gary Johnson was so much more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modmuffin Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 no chance, he should of said stay off the pitch until after the final whistle because i can see fans spilling on during the final minutes of the match(if winning) IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohbasso Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I won't be running on the pitch myself, mainly because it would take 20 minutes to get there from the upper dolman, but surely it's pitch invasion Saturday, then stay off the pitch after the Walsall game for the trophy presentation and celebrations/lap of honour? Exactly this, we get to clap the players of the pitch around 50 times a season but only get one pitch "invasion" a season. As we won't get a trophy till the last game, Saturday if the perfect day for it, everyone wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Don Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I'm quite looking forward to Dave L's "please stay off the pitch" announcement now. Sponsored by the Royal Naval Reserve... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EstoniaTallinnRed Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Have to say having now watched the interview a few times - I do think it's a genuine request from Cotts rather than a say it because he has to I would hate to spoil anyone's fun and normally see it as unimportant but if this is a genuine request from Cotts and the players isn't it a little disrespectful to say '**** it' we're going on anyway Does make me feel uncomfortable bearing in mind we've all been crowing and praising him and the players If that's what they want shouldn't we do it ? Sorry, just my honest thoughts I'll get my tin hat on !!!! Why! are you going in the TRENCHES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotham Brow Red Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Think Our Steve bringing it up in the first place makes it inevitable. However sitting in Dolman it may not be easy to do. When (and if of course (yeah it will)) the trophy is presented then fair dues STAY OFF. But only then of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddoh Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 i will not be running on to the pitch but i will be walking slowly on to it unlike 76 when I ran on to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, just my honest thoughts I'll get my tin hat on !!!! I was at Bradford and promotion was handled perfectly. A line of stewards 30 metres from the City fans, the players celebrated amongst themselves, lots of hugs and handshakes, while we all went mental in the stands. Slowly as it all calmed down the players moved toward the fans and we all celebrated together, and everyone enjoyed themselves, pictures were taken, players held fans flags aloft, selfies with some fans, players joining in with the songs etc, etc. No need for a pitch invasion and fools trying to grab players shirts, boots etc. If you want to get on the pitch wait until the players have left, what is to be gained by running on? I got as close to ALL the players as I wanted too, from the stand, and it was a perfect end to a perfect night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Tel Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Why are the majority on here going against a polite request from our manager not to invade the pitch. Stay off and let the players do their lap of honour and EVERYONE can enjoy the occasion Because most of those saying that they're going onto the pitch this Saturday will need to be at home and tucked up in bed by 8 o'clock.

Can I just mention the elephant in the room here. What if we do not win the title on Saturday? Coventry may just be coming with a view they are going to try and get something from the game...

RobArnold10 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Am I the only one that feels pitch invasions make the club look tinpot? I get why we want to to an extent...but its only L1...and we romped it really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray White Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Best point of access from the Dolman anyone? I'm thinking Atyeo corner and trying to get over into the Atyeo first therefore having a free run at it without the building site in the way.

I get why we want to to an extent...but its only L1...and we romped it really! I think it shows passion. Everything just seems low-key otherwise. Our pitch invasions in the past and Man City's when they won the title in 2012, that's what football's about - the fans. I think it was when I watched Bradford got to the League Cup final and the stewards had a huge blockade to prevent a pitch invasion - it was rubbish.

It was just accepted as the way football fans celebrated something meaningful for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
