Personally I think a pitch invasion for reclaiming our normal place in the Championship would be a bit tinpot.
Letting the players celebrate together and then having a lap of honour is a far classier move than invading the pitch and swarming the players, including opposition players who are left in a pretty vulnerable position in the majority of these over-glorified pitch invasions.

They are chanting warnes name AFTER games now , that’s not in game chants to raise the team , it’s praise for the job he is doing and well deserved it is too , he’s also not jumping in on the bounce to steal the players / fans joy , he is maintaining that line as the boss with a job to do , some on here may not like it but the majority of fans at games are giving Warne the respect and praise he deserves for what he is creating at derby ,
there’s an honesty and culture at the club now that’s been missing for a long time and I for one want to see where he can take it given time and a bit more to spend 

A bit like Rooney when he played for us!!

What it prevents is a 'lap of honour', which is the way the players show their appreciation.
When we lost at Hull, one of their 'fans' lamped Keogh, so I can understand the club being anti-pitch invasion.

I’d rather the players were allowed to come onto the pitch to celebrate but that’s never going to happen if everyone invades the pitch. 
so you run like an idiot onto the pitch. Then what? 

I'm the same 😂 I still have last year's confirmation email too!!

Renewed today, so I've now plucked up he courage to delete last year's renewal confirmation email! 😬

That bold bit is where the problem lies, imo.

I envisage the majority of the attendance (22k+) will scuttle off home having not had the chance to thank/congratulate/celebrate with the people that matter... players and staff.
Shame really... but utterly not unexpected.  

I don't get it. Even when I was younger I didnt ..eg at the Southampton semi. 
What's the point,  you can't see anything and all the players scatter. Just stay near your seats or congregate near the front of the stand and clap the players and staff ie those who have done it. Getting on the pitch seems a weird desire.
Just head into town and civilly get p*ssed with your mates. Seems a bit entitled... 'why can't I run on the pitch and sorta intimidate the opposition'. Generally starts off fairly good natured but has a good chance of going south in some way.
Mainly though, the players can't celebrate properly together or with their families etc because fans want to swamp the pitch.  Do it after the celebratory lap and the players have gone if it matters that much to you.

Nothing would be more derbyesque than a 40 page argument about how we should be allowed to celebrate before promptly losing to Cambridge and Carlisle. Why don’t we simply not worry about it and act accordingly when/if the time happens. And by accordingly I mean alcohol.

I made sure to do it before Bolton "beat" Shrewsbury and the odds inevitably dropped 😂

Promotion as champions?
If we'd achieved that this place would be tumble weeds rolling across empty threads.....

I hope a minority don't let us down and run onto the pitch either at Cambridge or the Carlisle match. The team will no doubt do the usual parade lap (Regardless of results as we have as a minimum made the play offs) If a pitch invasion happens then that will be cancelled.
Don't ruin it please!
And also can the parade lap go around the perimeter, and not stop at the penalty box please?
