I didn't particularly scrutinise the pitch invaders closely but they did all seem to be kids, some very young indeed. Didn't see many middle aged men ? If there were people aged 20ish and over, identify them and ban them, might stop future incidents, but kids will be kids.

I actually left the ground before the pitch cleared as I didn't think the players would come back out, shame.

Apologies in advance, but I'm going to be serious. Please feel free to ignore what follows. The incident you provide a link to is the kind of thing we used to read about in the late 50s/early 60s, and marvel that 'primitive people' did such things, which we knew would not happen here. I was a kid at the time. Then things slowly deteriorated here, and we ended up with fences and the Hillsborough disaster. I know that was a complex event, but those who were killed were innocent, and responsibility for their deaths was very widespread. But what is clear is that they would not have died if there had been no fences, if the pitch had been reserved for players and officials, and for fans in case of emergency. Everyone at the time assumed fans going on the pitch meant hooligans looking for violence, and interpreted their actions wrongly as a result. Things have improved enormously, and long may it continue, but reading on here the antics of some of our 'fans' at away games, and looking at the expectation that pitch invasions will occur, things may be beginning to slip. There will be future emergencies (a terrorist bomb?), and the pitch is an essential escape route; we must not allow the fear of a threatening pitch invasion room to grow (some people will always use crowds as a way of behaving badly). I would like to see the trophy presented, a lap of honour, (with raucous singing), and after the players have gone, an invitation for people to go on the pitch in an orderly fashion to take their selfies. I would be on there with my kids and grandkids. And if all that makes me a miserable old git, I'll live with it.

This. Love the idea of having something organised once all done and dusted for selfies etc. Needs mailing in!

Are you suggesting that its Captain Blade holding the gun?
The plot thickens. Is he hiding on the grassy knoll or in the book suppository?

His absence was certainly noted at Port Vale. We assumed innocent explanations, e.g. his cutlasses hadn't passed the smoke-bomb pat-down, or he was just a bandwagoner who couldn't be arsed, but now I fear something genuinely sinister at work :eek:

He got caught smuggling Charlie and Pyro's in in his shoes. Got off with it though, blamed Baxter.
 
I'm really annoyed that I now have to invade the pitch after reading the comments on this thread. Pisses me off that I'll be the only reluctant pitch invader on the field.
 
I'm late to this thread, but my 2p-worth anyway...I thought the pitch invasion against Bradford was a bit OTT, but in fairness to all concerned (apart from the few cockwombles who went to try and goad the Bradford fans) it was cleared relatively quickly, and we did get the sort-of-half-arsed lap of honour for the benefit of the TV cameras.

I expect there will be something bigger after the Chezzy match, and this is where I'm torn. I'll not be on the pitch myself, cos it's a hell of a hike down from the back of the Kop where I sit, but I can understand the outpouring of emotion from fans (especially younger ones) of a club starved of any kind of success (realistically you've got to be 40+ to remember the last time we actually WON something (not promoted as runners up). The "traditional" way for fans to express this is to run on the pitch at the end of the season.

However, I REALLY want to see our captain (and manager) lift the trophy on the pitch, not way up in the posh git seats in the South Stand. IF we could guarantee that the pitch was cleared as quickly as it was on Monday, then let the young 'uns have their fun at full time. But if the pitch gets swamped by people my age (31) and older, and we are deprived of a proper trophy presentation, then I may well join the ranks of the "boring old fuckers" in the aftermath.

But you'll be able to spot yourself SO easily on every single shaky phone-camera video on Youtube for the rest of time ;)

I hate those things. There was a live stream of the Rochdale match a few weeks ago. The fucking camera was pointed at the stewards for most of it.
