Fans on the Pitch

[alcoblade]

I don't get the idea of invading on to the pitch, is it some unbelievable rush that you must do once in your life time?
I'm happy enough to cheer and celebrate in the stands

I have no desire to go onto the pitch now I'm an old fart. However, pitch invasions are a byproduct of a fervent atmosphere (blue touch paper lit), a kick back at the rah rah atmosphere that's taken over football. That's why I don't share many people's (on here at least, it's not something that seems to bother other supporters I know) horror at the sight of them.

If you are going to go into the pitch and you are a grown man then at least have the decency to either walk or run. Don't fucking skip, you look like a twat.


Twickenham used to have a great way of dealing with pitch invaders for the sevens tournament. They recruited young lads from the "colts" sides of the local rugby clubs. These lads were usually around six and a half feet tall, built like brick shithouses and faster than a whippet with an arse full of root ginger. They took great delight in bringing down anyone foolish enough to try to run onto the pitch, with a crunching tackle the least of the invader's worries.

Erika Rowe (that was Twickenham wasn't it?) can invade the pitch anytime.

What a shirtfull!

My favourite one man pitch invasion. Everton had just equalised against Wendy in the 1966 FA Cup
