This thread is hilarious. Whilst not condoning those than ran on when the seventh goal went in, can all those who are sat at home 'worried' about the consequences please list all the teams have had a points deduction for an end of season pitch invasion over the last 5 years?? I am not worried about the punishment. I just get annoyed at the 'entitlement' and acceptance that it is apparently okay because it's the end of the season. There were a few other thousand fans in the ground that want to enjoy the moment as well Thankfully 'we' weren't made to look stupid upon resumption of the game come the final whistle But PASHUN and all that

Stupid pricks. It has been mentioned on here before and some want to make excuses for these idiots. Really, how hard is it to stay off of the pitch? Find them and ban them. Exactly. And if true, why do you want to punch an opposition player? I Just dont get it. That said, where was the police presence/extra stewarding that should have been lined up from about minute 70 onwards. It could have been contained and managed a bit better. When it was going on I went to Wael's box from mine and said to him if you go down and ask them to calm it with Tom or Joey, they will listen. First he said that those who have done it wont listen it wont make a difference. About 2 mins after that he headed down with EJ and made the appeal. I just dont understand or see the need to run onto the pitch mid game?

During play - Moronic
At the final whistle when promotion has been achieved - Perfectly fine, should be experienced by all
& that is the end of the story😄

Should’ve had them out in front of the Thatchers once Evans top binned that free kick.

Should’ve had them out in front of the Thatchers once Evans top binned that free kick. They were all lined up, but were outnumbered by the surge of fans. Not sure what more could have been done, we'd already had the bing bong announcement saying keep off the pitch.

This is the first time I've been on here for a long time because of the 'toxic' nature of this forum. I still read it, but I don't think anything has changed, despite our amazing achievement over the past 4-5 months. How anyone can justify the pitch invasion after the 7th goal is beyond me (or anyone else with half a brain!). It COULD have resulted in an abandonment, a points deduction, and probably will result in a big fine for the club that these morons proclaim to support in their, mainly alcohol induced, minds. I was there and I was as ecstatic as the next person when that goal went in, but did not even contemplate going onto the pitch. The people who did this are the same people who come in late at away matches, stand in the aisles intimidating away stewards (and then complaining if they get treated badly!) and running down the aisles towards the pitch if we score, causing danger to other fans that just want to come and support. These are almost certainly the ones that tried to 'invade' the pitch at Rochdale after the 4th goal. Fortunately, Rochdale had enough stewards to limit this invasion. I had some 'brain dead' trying to tell me after the match that these were 'real fans' who support the team home and away. He didn't even accept that we could be punished badly if the match had been abandoned and that it would have been anything to do with them. I go home and away to support my team and would never do anything to put my team in danger of any punishment. My thought is, we don't need you if you are going to cause my team a problem. Rant over and on to League 1. UTG

Whilst we all wish they hadn't gone on the pitch saturday I'm just wondering how many of us are a tad hypocritical and invaded the pitch before the final whistle at Blackpool.

There were over 10,000 who did not invade the pitch during normal time. So don't say any normal fan would have done the same. The true fans did not encroach. Wonder how many that did invade go every week? Make no mistake this needs to be stopped. Just imagine if Northampton had scored a very late goal, could the team have raised themselves one more time? If there was no stoppage think we may have scored another anyway. Stop trying to brush it away. These people need to be found and punished. We should plug the barriers at the front into the mains. That'd stop 'em. Is Ken Bates your Dad?

Pitch invasions these days are all about showing off to your mates - it isn't just euphoria. I could understand a few youngsters getting caught up in the moment, a quick incursion onto the pitch, then realise what they've done, and straight off again.
Unfortunately, you get the element who run straight to the half-way line to goad the opposition fans, the element who remain on the pitch giving it the "look at me" strut, and the element who dont really know why they're on there, and have just followed like sheep - you can actually see the "what do I do now" expressions on their faces as they wander around.
The older lot weren't happy with them on Saturday, and if Scunthorpe had scored when the game was re-started I think that there would have been a lot of slaps dished out on the Thatcher's terrace.

Having just skimmed through the full match, the stewarding numbers in front of the thatchers & particularly in the corner where the majority come from, is absolutely pitiful😂🤦🏻

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. I have seen in a few places (other forums)that our fans new exactly what they were doing and ran on the pitch so we would know the Northampton result and then know if we needed another goal or not.What a total load of horseshit,it was pure jubilation and I bet not 1 of the idiots had that thought in their heads. Why on earth would we deliberately invade the pitch when we were winning 7-0, thereby running the risk of having the game abandoned? As conspiracy theories go, that is right up there with Elvis running a chip shop in Barton Hill . . .

I just dont understand or see the need to run onto the pitch mid game? Some of our fans think its acceptable, we lost our rhythm when we went off, if Cobblers had scored and we needed another one we might have not got it, or some of the poorer refs might have abandoned the game then, I was told that if it happened again the ref intended to abandon the match. We have a few belters that we need to lose if they are not going to behave, fed up of hearing people say they ve paid their money, you dont behave like that anywhere else.

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. It was the Stone Island eighteen year olds who were the problem. The "drunk middle aged men" actually went to the front to force the idiots back on to the terrace and deter further issues. They actually did a better job of stewarding than the stewards who were utterly ineffective. Interesting you say that because I think stewarding must be an issue all over. Last Tuesday I was at AFCB when they clinched promotion and the crowd invaded after the match. The stewards tried to get them off but you look at them and realise there are several young stewards (under 20) who have no chance of getting people to manage themselves or whatever. On that occasion because the crowd refused to get off the players didn’t come back on so frustrations all over. Not sure recruiting younger stewards for what was likely to be a high intensity and emotional occasion was the best strategy by whoever does it. UTG!

As conspiracy theories go, that is right up there with Elvis running a chip shop in Barton Hill . . . So we planned a 7th goal with 8 minutes to go, orchestrated a pitch invasion by several hundred randoms in order to get the Ref to take both sides off the pitch at the risk of forefiting the Match just so we'd know how to play after knowing the Northampton result? I'm surprised we're not being accused of bribing Barrow to score. Northampton didn't score enough and let one in, we scored enough and won with a clean sheet. The end.

In light of the rovers fans coming on the pitch against fgr ,rochdale and scunthorpe its clear something needs to be done.
Rovers having to play behind closed doors for a number of games (?) Or the thatchers terrace closed for x amount of games (?) . Maybe reduced capacity on the terraced areas (?)
We might be lucky and get away with a telling off a fine and evidence steps are in place to stop it happening again.
The person who grants the safety licence may insist on certain things to be done before allowing crowds back into the mem (?)
It is a problem at Rovers and needs sorting out.

It’s a problem at every club whose had a whiff of success, not exclusive to us. As previously stated, it was a spontaneous act following a goal that put us right on track for promotion, there’s a list as long as your arm of other league grounds this has happened in. First points deduction talk & now Behind closed doors matches? The Hysteria is real.

How do they manage it at the bigger Clubs? Either Man City or Liverpool will be crowned Premership title, will they be on the pitch to celebrate? Doubt it. Passion has been running high for the games you've mentioned, although to be fair the Rochdale game was away and there was no-one in the pitch at Port Vale, but agreed, this sort if behaviour can't go on.
