No.  I've only watched live RamsTV when Mel lobbed it in as a freebie during covid.
... But to help you out though, I have been done for breach of the peace (aka football hooliganism) many years ago (1981? v Watford) and have racked up 9 speeding points, albeit not all at the same time, so I'm clearly no saint. Why, I even have a French speeding fine on record... and even an eviction from a Sheffield football stadium, due to my half time behaviour in their toilets (True story, bro!)
I've even had a WPC approach me at the back of the away terrace at Stamford Bridge to ask me to refrain from exposing my genitalia out of the bottom of my shorts... but that's such a long and boring story and not at all embarrassing*, so I won't bore you all with the details!

Would you prefer I backed out of the debate, now my past misdemeanours have been publicly aired and shamed me for eternity?  Or can I crack on wumming this thread, as it's my all time favourite to date!  🤷‍♂️
 
 
 
*Not embarrassing for me, but it clearly was for the WPC, who had obviously drew the short straw, as her 3 male colleagues looked on in raptures!  Poor lass!  
 

Today was bitter-sweet in many ways, as I kept thinking of Daniel's pure, unadulterated joy on being part of this promotion day. 
Wonderful that the Club acknowledged his contribution,  and B4 will always be part of our heritage now.

Thank you B4 such a great day to be a Rams fan. 
 
Didn’t see the message on the screens but my grandson turned to me and said ‘what does be more B4’ mean. I explained to him and he was sad to hear the story but loved the sentiment. Today it felt like we were all a bit more B4 👏👏👏👏

There are still more games to come in League One? 🤭

Anyone else notice how much this is playing out like Batman?!.. 
Batman-David Clowes-not the hero we wanted but the hero we needed
Robin-Paul Warne-gimpy sidekick who's clothes are a bit tight but seems to get the job done
2 face-Uncle Mel, lived long enough to become the villain and seemed to flip a coin on the clubs future
The Penguin-Curly Gibson, cos he's a fat little bamford who just needs to eff off

1/  Has the whistle gone yet?  Do we have to go back to finish it off?  🤷‍♂️
2/  The "Stand up for David Clowes" had me welling up... as did his double lift of the trophy.  ("Once more for the cameras please David"!)
3/  "Ok... erm... well... how about you agree to stay off the pitch until after the final whistle then?  Deal?".  That has to win the safety announcement of the year award!  🤣
4/  Visually, the scenes (on the pitch) afterwards looked stunning.  But the atmosphere was lacking.  Lots milling around wondering "What the heck do we do now"!  Very little in the joyous celebration department was evident from the stands.  Just a couple of ripples.  Nowt special.  I repeat... visually stunning. 
5/  Disappointed with the lack of a lap of honour (No surprise there!), but so glad I hung back to the end, and watched (on the big screen) Mr Clowes lift that trophy.  What. A. Hero.  🐏
6/  Yeah.  After 49 years, it's up there.  It's still means summat.  I still feel it... which is nice!
Now... where's that bottle of Emva Cream... Cheers, fellow Rams.  🍻

PG Wodehouse from the directors box.
Ah, what ho! A jolly sight indeed unfolded at the hallowed grounds of Pride Park this fine day! One could scarce imagine a scene more befitting of the grandeur and splendor of a Gatsby-esque soiree, with fans cascading into the stadium like confetti, filling it to the rafters with their boundless enthusiasm. And lo, amidst the throng stood towering figures of Derby lore, Igor Stimac and Roy McFarland, resplendent as generals at the side of David Clowes, the club’s saviour, who basked in the adulation of the faithful like Caesar himself, hailed by the masses for his Herculean efforts in saving and guiding the club to the dizzying heights of the Championship!
On the verdant pitch, a veritable symphony of skill and finesse unfolded before our very eyes. A laser-focused strike from the departing Bird, akin to the graceful brushstroke of a master painter, found its mark with unerring precision, while Collins, with the poise and elegance of a seasoned virtuoso, seized upon a knockdown from the indomitable Bradley, who ascended into the heavens like a tattooed Rudolph Nureyev, his every movement a testament to the divine artistry of the beautiful game.
As the final whistle echoed across the grounds, heralding the sweet symphony of victory, a jubilant frenzy ensued, with fans spilling onto the pitch in a glorious display of unbridled exuberance. Oh, to behold such a spectacle would surely have left even the most stoic of gentlemen in a state of rapturous delight! And amidst the joyous tumult, Adams, Sibley, and Cashin, lifted high upon the shoulders of adoring supporters, stood as titans amongst men, their names destined to be etched into the annals of footballing legend.
Truly, it was a day of unparalleled magnificence, orchestrated with masterful finesse by the bobble-hatted maestro and his esteemed comrades-in-arms. In the grand tapestry of sporting triumphs, this day shall forevermore be remembered as a shining beacon of glory for the illustrious Rams of Derbyshire

I'm not sure they did? 🤷‍♂️
Wasn't it more along the lines of "Please do not go on the pitch before the final whistle".

That's entirely different to your quote, and covers their arses when it comes to thousands breaking the law on their property!
 
Yes, it was inevitable.  No, there was nothing more the club could have done to avoid the invasion.  But that still does not make it right or acceptable.
... and as for the atmosphere once they were on the pitch... Embarrassingly non-existent, imo.
If we'd have partied like that back in the '80's, it would have been called a wake!  👀

Children sliding around on the hallowed turf, and grown-ups wandering aimlessly wondering "What happens now".  No "scenes".  Very little jumping around singing and cheering. No passion.  No emotion.  I repeat... embarrassing. 
To be fair, having a good overview of the proceedings from my seat, I suspect the majority were puffed out after all that exercise!  Looked like most of them had never been near a sports pitch before!  
It was fully expected of course (as a lot of anti-social/selfish behaviour is nowadays!), so it certainly didn't spoil my afternoon, but I still maintain a lap of honour by the players, management, and Mr Clowes... along with their nearest and dearest... would have been much more preferable... especially in front of 25k+ still in the stands.
But much of the stands were nigh on empty within 5 minutes of the final whistle.  When the (majority of the ) pitch invaders eventually left the pitch, they weren't miraculously full again, which would imply most had given up, and headed home.
Check out the numbers still there once the trophy was brought out.  It was like the raffle results at a village fete!

No Krystian, you can't come back

Anyone slightly worried that me might be in trouble with EFL?
Ref blew whistle 2 minutes into injury time and everyone piled on the pitch, when the announced ET was 4 minutes.

Should be, just as long as we keep the pressure on them, the fans shouldn't blow a gasket. 
Time to make a bolt for the Championship, and seal promotion.

Dear EFL Championship,
 
We're back...

I’m so happy for David Clowes. The man is a hero for saving our club and to see everyone standing up for him brought a tear to my eye. It was amazing when he lifted that cup. The Be More B4 also really got me, I hope Daniel’s Dad and sister managed to enjoy the day, although it must have been so emotional.
Massive thank you to Paul Warne and all his staff. He’s not everyone’s cup of tea but he’s worked so hard and fully deserves this.
Wish my dear old Dad could have been there, but I was with my son which is the most beautiful thing. It’s the first time he’s seen us achieve something and he said it’s the best day of his life! 
I bloody love this club.

Big screen as well

Where is everyone?  I'm still here waiting for them to come out for their lap of honour...
