Pitch invasion is not wrong and unacceptable though really. Invading the pitch and lamping someone is a different story though... No you’re wrong, it is a criminal offence. Also.. pitch invasions for staying up (see: Everton) and making play-offs are a bit cringe. With the latter you haven't won promotion (yet), so you could end up looking pretty foolish. With the former you've had a shocking season and probably want half the squad replaced before the next season. A bit daft. I have always been a fan of a good natured promotion pitch invasion (after the final whistle, of course).. great memories of being a kid on the pitch at Twerton (although I don't think we had been promoted then - was just the end of the season IIRC).. but with so many nasty incidents occurring recently, it surely won't be that long before more preventative steps are taken and/or harsher punishments dished out. |

I don't know for certain, but climbing a Lamppost is probably also technically a 'criminal offence'. Is Aaaron Collins part of some sort of problem as well?
The comeback from 3-1 down at Rochdale and then to win 7-0 on the final day to clinch promotion on Goals Scored is unique. We may not see the like, ever again in Football, let alone with Rovers.
It was just sheer, unbridled joy.
I agree with GGMI, as long as you're not running on punching people in the face or being violent in any way, I have no issue with it.

None of that changes the fact that it is a criminal offence |

Running on the pitch after a promotion or winning the league then fair dos. It’d be difficult for me to comment against it because I’m guilty of it myself!
Mid match is just foolish. It’s not over and can hurt proceedings and lead to the club getting fined or games cancelled. Whilst we set one precedent we were very close to setting another instead.
And of course anyone who’s run on and gets violent or tries to reenact green street (even if just gesticulating) deserves a permanent ban.
A message needs to be sent out about this behaviour as it’s getting worse. It’s a good job that the remaining games for the EFL season are all at Wembley now.

Balanced and fair post/opinion. 👍 |

It is a lot simpler to stay keep off the playing surface at all times.
It is not difficult to understand or follow.
Pitch celebrations stop the enjoyment of "lap of honour" or any presentations to tea/players which can be enjoyed by everyone in the stadium.

End of season promotion or winning a cup etc, I'm on that pitch, no f**ks given. Pitch invasions, violence towards players managers and officials etc etc is about to become a massive issue, anyone watching these developments with an ounce of common sense can see this coming. The law is the law, it's there for good reason. The fact is that fans are not just invading a pitch with unbridled joy to celebrate, much more serious offences are occurring, the abuse and assaults is there for everyone to see in the last few days. We have been accused of the same. The powers that be will ramp up sanctions. We've all seen and heralded the efforts of our President, CEO and all BRFC staff with the way they are rebuilding this club to move it forward. I significant focus of our CEO is to increase revenue streams so that our spending power is that much better to improve player recruitment. Financial Fair Play allows us to spend a certain % of annual turnover on wages. The bigger our income streams, the bigger that % rises = better players Yet within the fanbase we have those who want to stunt all that hard work of the above staff and club officials by spending money on fines and sanctions instead of better playing staff and the club as a whole and why? So you can party on the pitch, set off flares, abuse players, team staff, officials?? Seriously? For the good of the club, stay off the pitch, party in the stands and on the terraces. Party in the fan park and the bars. But stay off the pitch and don't hurt the club because there can be no doubt that a massive crackdown is coming from the authorities after recent escalations. Ask yourself this, do you want the club to be washing revenue down the drain to pay fines and sanctions instead of spending that money building a team that takes us to the Championship? |

Who will everyone be supporting in the final, assume Vale for DC
Should be a half decent crowd - 20k each do we think?
Forest, Sunderland (to get them out of our division) and Vale for me. Play offs are great.

Play offs are great. Yep. 100% Vale. Up the DC Agree Forest for the Champ play-offs Not sure who I want to go up from L1. On the one hand, you're right, Sunderland are a big team and every season you fancy them to romp home. So finally getting them out of the division would be a benefit. But it is a cracking away day... whereas Wycombe.. :-| |

Pleased in equal measures that Port Vale made the league two play off final and that Swindon are playing league 2 football next season..
That is all...

Patrick Vierra being goaded by an Everton fan on the pitch tonight turns and kicks him. He is then jostled by several fans. Memories of Brian Clough. What is it with these idiots. Only answer is to ban running on the pitch and if it happens points deductions. Yes, points deduction will concentrate the mind perhaps. But tbh I’m not sure many of these invaders have many brain cells to process the stuff. Unfortunately I don’t think it’s confined to any one or two clubs it’s become too widespread and you just know we could be guilty of similar type things. Something will be done. Mind you reading McKirdys tweet about it must be the height of irony. He spends every match winding up fans and then wonders..... I’m not in any way making an excuse but any actions from players atgoading fans or the like will always have consequences, eitherintended or unintended. UTG! |

Just seen Lampards interview. "You can't chain fans to seats. As long as they behave let them have their moment"
Could stewarding be improved? Very much so.
At Port Vale it was impossible to stop the invasion, this will happen again. Stewards should have been in front of the away end and around Swindon players. A lot less area to cover
Lots of Vale fans goading Swindon, they shouldn't have even got close. FGR invasion at the mem. Stewards should have been around the FGR penalty box straight after the final whistle. Job done.
As for the goading from both sides, grow up
Great clip doing the rounds from the Scunthorpe end on 7th May. Fans were either celebrating or commiserating with Scunthorpe supporters.
