Aye if the mood allows for it.OK..a closed question
Do you agree with the suggestion that fans invade the pitch on Saturday ?
To answer some of you points:
Why would any fan want to run on the pitch when we haven't won anything ? ( we won't be promoted on Saturday) .
We will be all but promoted, enough to celebrate properly.
What would you be hoping to achieve by running on the pitch ?
To celebrate with the players. What do they hope to achieve by running into the fans when they score? Presumably, they want to celebrate in the best way, which isn't clapping at us from a distance.
What if the players and club specifically request that fans don't run on the pitch...would you respect their wishes ?
We will never know this, the club will say on behalf of the management and players that they don't want it to happen.
If Wilder and the players genuinely didn't want it, I would respect their wishes.
If running on the pitch meant that the players couldn't come out and do a lap of honour ( not celebration and we can't be promoted on Saturday), is it right to deny the opportunity to the £25k + fans staying in their seats to thank the team for their efforts ?
One of my questions was to ask if this had ever happened. I recall it being threatened by the club, but never followed through. If it was the case, however, it would not be fair to deny the majority the lap of honour.
Do you agree that any fan arrested for running on the pitch should be given a ban ? ( especially if the club specifically requests fans to stay in their seats/ in the stands )
Generally yes. In the event of a mass pitch invasion, taking place after the final whistle, in a rare event of great success? No.
