What's the point of a pitch invasion against Preston? I'd be the first on if we'd won promotion but theres no point in this game. A victory in the play-off home leg might be a different matter though. :whistle:

Agreed, there is no point, lets not forget that we will have one more game if you really feel the need to do it. Lets not ruin the pitch for the clubs biggest every home game!

It would be nice if the players got a chance to do a lap of honor at the end of the game WITHOUT people on the pitch.

After all, they deserve it.

Don't want to ruin everyones fun because going on the pitch is great but we will get another chance ala Hartlepool. :winner_third_h4h:

The pitch invasion is for the last home game of the season, we know this isn't the last so I agree no need v PNE.

Agreed. Although I'm looking forward to seeing Preston down here again (the last time was one of the most memorable occasions at the Gate for years), it's not the end of the season.

The club needs to come out and make it very clear indeed that any sort pitch invasion is a bad idea, although there'll always been some tw*ts who'll try it. A chorus of 'off, off, off' and some nice, loud booing will probably do the trick.

Having said that...depending on who we get in the Play Offs and how we do a pitch invasion might be a mixed blessing. If we win the leg at AG then I think it's a good idea, but I can't imagine for one minute that anyone would be allowed near the away fans (whoever they might be) especially if it's Stoke, who would not be 'best pleased' if we beat them. There's a reason why we got thrown out of the East End: FA Cup tie January 1995 v Stoke.

And God knows what would happen if we lost the home leg.

Mind you, it's Mrs Squirrel Kingdom's 4*th Birthday on May 13th. Last time we had a play off game on that date we drew 0-0 with Baadiff, I didn't go and I stayed up to watch the game as I'd recorded it. Went to Ninian Park for the return...you know the rest.

BTW, very proud that we made it to the playoffs even if we don't have the greatest record in them.

Your point about the play offs is valid; a pitch celebration on Sunday would be a lot more friendly than one against an all or nothing play off game :bruce_h4h: when one or the other of the teams aint going to be to pleased. I.M.H.O Sunday would be fav :unsure:

Can we please remove corks from asses for a moment.

Remember the Rotherham game? We applauded them through a screen of yellow jacketed scowling gorrilas. Rotherham applauded us. We were not allowed near the poor points deducted relelgated buggers. Yet a few minutes later we were all walking down the same street chatting.

The Preston game was ten times better. We ALL went on the pitch. The gorillas were crapping themselves as they though it would all kick off. They didn't know who to arrest first. The conga line full of both red and white shirts or the both sets of supporters singing filthy songs about the gas and Blackpool. I wandered off with my supposed enemy through the East End talking about football. This is what the game is supposed to be like.

Now if there is an invasion with any hostile intent I am all for electric fences and machine guns but there won't be. This last game is a day for football supporters and fancy dress, christ before the game we are planning to go into a pub with them all.

Its also a day to look at the directors box and say 'do you know how hard I have to work for my season ticket? I OWN this bloody pitch and its my day to be Scott Murray today and my kid wants to be David Noble so let him do it'.

Sod the FA. Every year someone spreads the rumour of a points deduction of we do it. It never happens. Sod the gorrilas who during most of the games are spotty 17 year olds texting their mates and on the last day they bring in the heavy mob. Sod the plod who have bullied the away support all season. Sod the Burberry apes who go looking for fights against anyone and anything, we are not there to fight so bugger off if you want to. And most of all sod Snothausen and the Evil Post for their pointles litle digs about us all season again.

When the report of the last Preston games was on Points West they said it was a bad day for west country sport. No it wasn't, I was there, it was brilliant.

Over the top chaps! It may never hapen again.

it's not the last game of the season, so why go on the pitch,

after preston, the pitch still has a VITAL play-off game to be played and possibly the biggest game in our history, so lets not have the pitch potentially ###### up for the sake of a few hormonal kids who can't wait to run to the pitch for the sake of nothing.

good for you, hopefully you'll be one of the few only a few idiots and will hopefully get banned from any play-offs games!

:laugh:

Banned for celebrating the teams sucess for getting into the play offs!?

nothing to do with celebrating the success, going onto the pitch is going onto the pitch

last home game of the season, a blind eye is generally turned, but since Preston isn't the last game what's the point.

The Wembley question is interesting.... I don't know the last time there was an invasion at Wembley but if the impossible happens... could we? Would we?

I'm sure it was England v Scotland (1977)

It would be fun but not sure we'd get away with it.

On the pitch definitely*!! FFS its been a brilliant season to this point, the PNE fans are quality and its a good opportunity to celebrate what we've achieved over the last 8 months, and draw a line before the players 'get their heads on' for the cup-tie stuff to come. The pitch will be fine. Lighten up people!

* Terms and conditions apply. Please see stewards for details. Minimum 2 hour pitch occupation time. Pitch invasion not to be used in conjunction with any other anti-PNE behaviour. Full written details available from Avon & Somerset Police.

Although I can understand supporters' reasons for a joyous pitch invasion on Sunday, the effect of several thousand overweight fans could render our great surface as unplayable as the Memorial patch.

Yes, the Memorial patch. You know, that rutted corpse of a playing surface that's got more pot holes than Cheddar caves and isn't fit enough to be an allotment let alone stage football.

Bear that image in mind and it'll soon put you off.

God there are some boring people on this forum.

Going on the pitch really isn't that a big of a deal. It used to be tradition until someone decided it wasn't! If you don't go on then fine, but if you do then so what? It's good fun.

I think the first time i went on the pitch was against Peterborough at home and we won 4-1 (?), i think Liam Robinson may have got a hat trick.

I'm sure the tradition is for after the FINAL home game.

Nothing to do with boosting the players'. They'll all be quicker down the tunnel than flies on shit.

Plus why get them all excited and euphoric when the biggest 2 (potentially 3) games of their careers are awaiting.

In one of the play off years under Danny Wilson, I recall a few kids charging on the pitch from the Dolman and being roundly booed by the vast majority of City fans, and promptly scuttling back to the stand.

Hopefully nobody will go on, so the players can rightly take the applause for a great effort this season, before refocussing on the play off games.

I am normally well up for a pitch invasion but can't see the point this Sunday. If we still had to win or get a point to make the playoffs then yea go for it but as it's not a make or break game (which normally prompts the invasion) then I don't think it will be the same or anywhere near as good.

I'm with the majority consensus on this one guys and gals, maybe after the home leg of the play-off semi, once we have secured a trip to Wembley :fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed: .

No disrespect to PNE a great club with a tremendous tradition, but whatever the result, it aint THE RESULT.......

Think that may have been the game against Blackpool? I'm all for pitch invasions but as already said it's not our last game of the season and we have a great pitch so why ruin that for what could be one of the biggest games in Bristol City's history?

I remember that, they got nicked I think and rightfully so.

Think the majority will stay off the pitch too be honest.

Me too. After the home leg of the play-offs (if we've won!) makes sense, last game of the season at AG as it is....but this one? :noexpression: If you're going on the pitch this sunday, then where the **** were you at the Wolves game...still in the stands? Lightweights. :wacko:

It just seems that saying `Don`t do.......`, even `Please don`t do......` is like waving a red flag to a bull nowadays. I`d just say to all out there to use a bit of common sense. There is still another match to be played, the most important match of the season, so try and restrain yourselves until then.

If you want to show your appreciation for the teams efforts so far then dare i suggest that once the added time is announced in the 2nd half that we all stand, yes i did say stand, and give them all a standing ovation. Be it 2,3 or 5 minutes. It might sound a bit corny but i bet if we all did it then it would make for a fantastic sight. Whatever the score may be at the time, winning, losing or drawing, it doesn`t matter.

Save the invasion for after the home leg..please.

Would class as persistent standing, thus not allowed in a all seater stadium. We don't want the FA to dock us 20 points for standing up and us lose our play off spot.

Glad everyone agrees that were on the pitch on sunday!

did you go on the pitch after the last game against Wolves?

no, so what's the point after preston game,

it's not the last game of the season and it's muppets like yourself that will ruin any potential lap of honour at the end of the game,

still, as most people on this thread seem to agree, if you do go on the pitch, I'm sure you will be one of very few.

It didn't a few years back when a few people ran on. There were boos echoing round the ground. I'm not sure what the obsession with running on the pitch is? It's not the last game of the season is it. Why not show your appreciation from the stands. The players wont hang around on the picth if it gets invaded.

:laugh: bet they felt silly afterwards. I agree though, only promotion should warrant pitch invasion - which, as i understand cannot happen at Wembley becuase they don't want us sticking nails in the grass....like we would.

Oh Grimmy Grimmy Grim Grim Grim Grimmy! Cheer up old sausage. A few years back when? What game? If you can't see the obsession then you have not had the experience. We show our appreciation from the stands every home game (most of us) and this is the last regular league home game. And the tradition is, for the information of all the nippers, last home league game of a very good season, over the top.

The talk of ruining the pitch to Mammory ground standard is rubbish. Its people in flat soled shoes, maybe some dog ends. And its over quickly. The most ridiculous announcement was to stay off the pitch before the Neil Diamond concert three weeks after the last game.

And they were due to rip it all up on the sunday anyway.

As for the players and the half hearted lap of honour. If they get a hiding I very much doubt that they will be coming out anyway. And hopefully if the invasion happens then the traditional appearance in the dirctors box will be on. Look at the picture of the promotion dvd.

The pitch is full of us and Lansdown, Johnson and the players loved it.

Its just the divot stampers that get pissy.

I shall be a boring fart, wont be going on the pitch:

1. Its not the last game of the season

2. Our pitch is perfect, why risk it?

3. I don't want to jinx the REAL celebrations

Quite agree Beau45 and besides as I am getting on in years I don't know if I can still raise me leg to get over the barrier!!! :whistle2:

Well, quite. The last thing they want is pointless divots all over the pitch.

Last minute of the 2nd leg of the play offs, we need a goal to send us through.

Carle picks up the ball, does two players and releases a shot that is going miles wide it then hits one of these divots and goes in, completely wrong footing the goalkeeper.

Maloneeee Maloneee Maloneee thats the point, its not promotion. Don't get me wrong, when we win to make the final i'll be the first one there. Make sure you give me a wave(in the EE) i will return with the Vs :innocent06: The players won't hang around on the pitch if people run on it, as there is nothing to celebrate.I also doubt they would go to the directors box, but they will do a lap if people stay off. Hold on you little thrill seeker you, just for a couple more weeks.

But it doesn't matter Grimster.

And I shall wave to you from the gantry as long as Durden has hold of my braces.

Its been a hell of a good season. The chances over going over the top at Wembley are minimal. If the play offs don't go as planned then it won't happen at all. Remember the Crapdiff game?

This is the chance on sunday. Sod the half hearted lap of honour, over the top and do your own!

Fully agree mate.

I don't care what people say, it's been an amazing season and the players would want to celebrate with fans, than just walk around the pitch.

yeah......so how about you keep it in your pants for another 10 days and do it once we have won the 2nd leg of the play-offs, when there is ACTUALLY SOMETHING WORTH CELEBRATING

getting to the play-offs is great, but means nothing if we lose them.
