The worst part is those guys dressed as Knights were on the hospitality boxes at the back of the East Stand. That’s probably the furthest from the pitch you can sit. Mammoth effort to get down to pitch level. Noticed them up there during the game and they were all heavily induced before kick off, no excuse however. Would of been an absolute blood bath if they got their swords out. Lucky escape for the Forest Green Ultras. Can't get one of the Monty Python Holy Grail scenes out of my head. Knights in east stand catapulting a cow onto the FGR supporters. Hopefully things settle down now. A very small minority of idiots on both sides need to grow up a bit or at least mature a bit as some looked grown up. |

hate to be an old fuddy duddy, but I think it would have been better if the pitch invasion hadn't happened. Actually it would have been better if we had won and there probably would have been no pitch invasion. Congratulations to FGR and their handful of fans, but I really didn't appreciate our club and our ground being mere extras in the FGR media circus.

Surprised that so many of our fans are complaining about FGR fans coming onto the pitch to celebrate promotion when it’s absolutely guaranteed if we get promoted we’d be on the pitch at any league ground .

Some didn't just celebrate though, they ran straight past their players and coaching staff towards our fans and that was inciting trouble. If they would have just celebrated and ignored us then i don't think any of our fans would of reacted. Even some of their players were over the top, like the one after tackling Anderton, he had to lean over him and yell in his face, he got booked but again it was over the top aggression for no reason. |

Only just seen the footage, just looked like watching WWE to be honest… silly gesticulating and nothing of note happening.

Good. Drunk 🔔 ends. The same drunk 🔔 ends and young tw*ts that stormed the pitch when we scored that goal at Wycombe that meant nought. 👏👏👏 fgr. Well deserved. Next battle for us. Utg. Agreed and what the feck were the idiots dressed as St George, obviously because it was his day, doing coming on to the pitch. They should be banned, what on earth were they doing going to a Rovers game in red and white! “Celebrating” ST.George’s day….doh |

It was just pathetic from our fans. Not sure what they thought they were trying to achieve when the majority of the FGR fans were just celebrating Getting rattled by a couple of hundred The saddest part was this caused a whole lot of drama after the game and put a bit of a dampener on the womens game and hardly gave a good impression to anyone turning up The youngsters coming on from the Thatcher's terrace, in their black padded jackets with the hoods up - looked like an invasion of sewer rats. No need for it, and will only damage the image of our club. Monkey see monkey do |

No need for it, and will only damage the image of our club. Monkey see monkey do The Rovers hit squad were looking for this opportunity to frighten the vegan hoardes they will probably do the same when we play Scunny. With a sell out crowd for second home game in succession seats in the east stand were sold twice. Stewards got to the bottom of it eventually it appears the persons used their season ticket for next season their printed acknowledgement to gain entry to the Mem yesterday. Begs the question how did the scanners at the turnstile not reject them entry ? |

Most are not youngsters anymore and have their own kids |

Sorry to hear that a lady had to go to the medical room and be put on a nebuliser, after a woman let a flare off on the Thatcher's terrace. She threw the flare when she realised that she was being filmed, and it almost hit a steward. It really annoys me that people don't realise how dangerous these things can be for people with breathing difficulties - idiots on FB still posting "No pyro, no party". Hopefully it will be dealt with, as the security cameras also captured it.

Most are not youngsters anymore and have their own kids I highly doubt it. Merely a spontaneous act from the boozed up, middle aged fancy dress chaps after FGR celebrations. No chance they will be gunning for the 50 odd Scunny fans that’ll be down. Our idiots are idiots like any other clubs, but refuse to believe there was or will be any planning of trying to get at these clubs supporters. |

Hopefully things settle down now. A very small minority of idiots on both sides need to grow up a bit or at least mature a bit as some looked grown up. The Knights that Say "Ni" ? |

No need for it, and will only damage the image of our club. I had left before the "invasion" so I cannot refute that "youngsters" led the incursion; all I can report is that as I attempted to leave the Blackthorne at the final whistle the charge that barged into me (me being a 72 year old) were a group of stereotypical cartoonist football hooligans being fat, fifty, red faced and drunk. |
