Thankfully that is just the temporary netting they use for shooting practice in the North stand so Washington doesn't hit Rita in row Z.

The club should just encourage fans to do it in a respectful way, being respectful to players, coaches, officials, and visiting fans.
To warn people of criminal proceedings strikes me as mean-spirited.
The fans have been on the PP pitch before. Southampton and Brighton at home in the play-offs, and during the victory parade after Wembley in 2007, for instance.
If it’s done in the right spirit, it’s a natural way to celebrate and release those emotions.

The Club have issued a statement regarding the possibility of criminal proceedings to any fans who encroach onto the pitch after final game .Should we gain promotion and get out of this awful League 1 after all of the ups and downs over the last few years l would have thought a simple gesture of letting the long suffering supporters celebrate and applaud the players is perfectly acceptable .Pompey fans assembled on the pitch last week after promotion was gained and created a fantastic spectacle.Why are Rams fans denied the opportunity after all it was common practice even in the great Clough era.The Club cites H&S worries and seems to forget that we are adults and do not need wrapping in cotton wool thank you very much.As a Club we have had little to celebrate in recent years ,Powers that be chill and let the supporters celebrate and thank the players in the time honoured way.

Carlisle at home, we had won the league, in the Normanton lower, I was 15. 0-0, all on the pitch. It was going to be relaid so I took a piece from the centre circle.  Went to school on the Monday and persuaded my teacher help me preserve it.  50 years later and despite me living all over the world I've still got it.  Magical times.

Nowadays the players would be suing him for bullying .and their agents would be feeding stories to the press about them getting counselling for the damage to their mental health (fragile ego). Don't think Ben White would be signing for him anytime soon.

If the police are heavy handed, can we invoke the dispersal order on them? Just asking for a friend.

Soon there will be some form of congestion charge. It doesn't matter how much money they make because it's clearly not being spent wisely. How much did the footbridge and a52 widening cost? Still probably paying for this. 

There have been many disappointments since and including that 2007-08 capitulation. Hopefully, Saturday is the start of better things to come. We will do OK in the Ch'ship next season, and significant investment could follow on from that. With the right leadership, it's not inconceivable that DCFC could then be competing at the top end of the Ch'ship. 

Not a new video, but the club tweeted it out today. Great watch.
 

The EFL will no doubt hide behind their usual "rules are rules... and the clubs make the rules" nonsense. Well, seems yet again that the rules are just plain daft. No common sense. Just about everything that comes out of the EFL, EPL and FA seems designed to make life for football fans worse and, with it, the game. 

or perhaps 'that's what I can do .....on a good day'  
It was a good 2 goal performance from SB, no question. But that nonsense at Northampton was unnecessary and unprofessional.

Great servant to the club, didn't he cost us 70 grand or something ridiculous like that 

A great team performance which resulted with a win and three important points, compounded by the results elsewhere. 
A number of posters have stated Orient were poor. But how much was down to our own performance?
If we had come out with the wrong mindset, yesterday's result could have easily gone the same way as the Northampton or Wycombe game.
Just hope, for the sake of my sanity, it will be yesterday's team that turns up for the games against Cambridge and Carlisle and not the one that came out of the tunnels at Northampton and Wycombe.

Thommo is a brilliant footballer and a good asset to the team. His ability to keep the ball and his naturally attacking mentality is so important to us. 

Some brilliant stuff yesterday. Midfield 3 of adams , thommo and smith was brill. Plenty of energy , tenacity and controlled the game well. 

I guess it depends how and when they finish third.  I wonder if there's stats out there to show how the third place team do after dropping there at the final hurdle!
I'm tempted to side with @europia on this.  If we end up third now, it won't just be the players who will need a psychological lift! 
 
 
... *Although last day failure might be good for the forum, what with a 100 page matchday thread, and lots of lovely "told you so" threads! 👀 

The main problem finishing 3rd, is the team going into the play offs with a negative mindset. Would Warney be able to lift them, having been so close, but ultimately failing to clinch an auto spot? Perhaps, the teams finishing 4th 5th or even 6th better placed, psychologically. 

Yes I agree with that. Very few neutral supporters even want to watch PL games outside the 'elite' clubs (Man$hity, Manure, Ar$enal, Liverpool, Spurs, Newca$tle) never mind Ch'ship or below. It's just a case of Sky hoovering up the left overs. 

Well I am not inconsiderably incandescent with rage.
Turns out my electronically reclining wonder wing-back runs off a rechargeable battery and the fecker has run out........
