What are you worried about as you won't be asked to pay a fine if it comes to the worse but the chances are the club just be warned about fans future conduct. Even a fine wouldn't be that bad. A points deduction would be. Can you be absolutely sure that that won't be the case? I bloody well hope it won't. Lots of clubs have pitch invasions during the last couple of games. I can't see a points deduction, it didn't happen to City when they chased our players off the pitch at Ashton Gate.

Punishment for a club can be a warning, fine, stadium ban to points deduction, that may be difficult with the play offs less than a week away, but it has been reported that the Scunthorpe goalkeeper may have been punched which makes things allot worse. hopefully we will be ok but clubs have to prove they have done enough to protect players and officials, ref took the players off so he was obviously concerned about safety.

During a celebratory pitch encroachment, not a violent riot with disorderly intentions. The ref for me, went massively over the top.

I believe there was fighting on the pitch between Exeter and Port vale with missiles thrown so there was worse yesterday all the same it isn't good with our idiots who were warned not to go on the pitch.

Reasons why, if you ran onto the pitch after goal no.7, you are a :
1/ Elliot Anderson was violently knocked backward to the ground. He could have been injured. That would have looked good (not).
2/ Stopping the game when Rovers had such momentum was ridiculous.
3/ The possibility of a Scunthorpe goal on resumption might have entered players' minds, affecting their play.
4/ The pundit on Quest complained, on Northampton's behalf, that, because of the hold-up Rovers knew the final score at Barrow before the resumption, and were able to bring on defenders for the final minutes. That really detracts from what should be real joy at the amazing result.,
5/ There will be repercussions. Hopefully just a fine - but will you be pleased to have cost Rovers money by your actions? If any of our games next season have to be played behind closed doors you will be responsible. That won't endear you to us real supporters.
Having said all that, if you are under 8 years old I forgive you. If anyone on here knows someone who ran on after goal 7, please read this to them - I doubt they are capable.

We won’t get docked points for now…. But that behaviour was disgraceful. Had we stayed on we would have got another to more than seal it. Too many for the day with out care other than swinging there Likkle lees in the air. “I was there” Rubbish talk.
You wasn’t there at the right time, and never should you be there again at any time. 🔔 ends. Utg. Gloucestershire v zummerset next weekend. Nought else planned now, whose going?

What a non story. Absolutely unbelievable miraculous scenario to see us into the top 3 with that 7th goal. Any team in the world would have fans run onto the pitch. Plus everyone was off within two minutes and yet the ref decided to take the players off once it was basically clear?? Complete overreaction.
Obviously if someones punched their keeper though they’re an absolute disgrace and will rightly be banned.

The 7th goal was always going to cause a pitch invasion. Most would have been through pure emotion but there were a number of idiots. Not sure why the numbers of police wasn't increased until after the goal, should have been upped when we got to 5. End of game invasion is a bit different. Unless goading of opposing supporters kicks something off it's pretty much seen as harmless by the authorities even if they preferred it not to happen.

Keeper may well have copped an unfortunate one, but was it a targeted punch or did a fan try jumping on him etc… The importance of establishing facts n all that.

Obviously if someones punched their keeper though they’re an absolute disgrace and will rightly be banned. i think ref did the right thing as the so called fans didn't get off the pitch so how could the game carry on, some the of the fans were probably drunk and so if drunk it is difficult to know how they would react to players, think ref had no choice, if a player or official had been injured then the ref could have been ln trouble if he hadn't taken the correct action. it is all about protecting the players and officials.

It's all immaterial whether it causes any real harm or not.
The football league, referees and their associated refereeing bodies, and the policing authorities, all take a dim view of encroachments onto the pitch.
If the game doesn't get abandoned, if it doesn't result in us getting a fine from the league, you can bloody well bet it'll result in higher policing fees and presence at matches.
I don't know about the rest of you but I'd rather not be treated like vermin in the way I did simply turning up at a football stadium when I went to Swindon.

I think so but if there was a punch thrown at one of their players it might change things, really really hoping it won't, just worried. What are you worried about as you won't be asked to pay a fine if it comes to the worse but the chances are the club just be warned about fans future conduct. Put two and two together, I'm worried about a possible points deduction which would drop us out of automatic promotion or worse, out of the playoffs. If, and I know it's an if, one of their players got punched during the first pitch invasion, it's not beyond the realms of possibility.

A points deduction for this season would cause too many complications for the EFL and that is what would worry them most. The goalie didnt actually let more goals in after he was " punched" so it didn't affect the result but that doesnt make it acceptable. More likely that we start the next term with a points deduction

Might sound boring but, pitch invasions are one of the things I hate most currently in football. Who wants to see a bunch of drunk middle aged men or hyped up teenagers mobbing the players who we all actually want to see enjoying the moment they have had, together with the whole stadium? It all carried on up Gloucester Road all night anyway, do all the other stuff then?
For what it's worth, I'd think if a points deduction is suggested the club might receive a suspended deduction initially to try deter from further incidents. I wouldn't mind seeing this dished out more often, hopefully that would get the message across more strongly.

I bumped into Harry Anderson on Glos Road getting a chicken burger and talked to him for 5 minutes, real nice kid. Unfortunately he told me that the ref threatened to call the game off because their goalkeeper was punched. Absolute t1t whoever did this.

Targeted punch or accident is irrelevant as no one should have been on the pitch. At the very least no one should have been near their players. 'If' he was punched, clipped, blown over then we should be thankful he came back on the pitch. Could have refused

I believe that the majority of us recognise that there will be consequences as a result of the pitch invasion, even more so if the young Scunthorpe goalkeeper was assaulted. No one can rightfully condone or seek to minimise the actions of a minority of supporters. If Gas had been on the receiving end of such actions and our keeper been assaulted, we would rightly be screaming for action by the FA. Scunthorpe fielded a very young team. There were understandable concerns regarding the players safety. There are also reports of concerns that Gas had "an unfair advantage" by knowing the result at Barrow when the game was resumed. A truly memorable day in the history of BRFC. It's unfortunate that others may remember it for other reasons.

Point 5 - sadly they won't give a damn about the repercussions for the club. It's all about them playing the big man, and looking good in front of their mates. I don't think pitch invasions are as spontaneous as they used to be, some people are just looking for the chance, then on they go - the innocence has gone.
