Leeds Ram

Two hours to train time!
Not sure how I feel, really. So much at stake. It’s the Derby way.

up and ready! travelling from york so a relatively short trip but getting in early to saviour the atmosphere! 

COYR!! you got this lads. Today is the day we get out of this damn league! 

I'm honestly not sure how anyone could begrudge a massing of people on the pitch if we do go up. The club are saying what they need to say the same as any other club does. But it's a moment of ecstasy which almost every other club does if they achieve promotion. It's a fantastic moment (I still remember scampering onto the pitch during Southampton play off semi) and it will always linger in my head. Why would I want to deny a 13 year old their opportunity now?
 
Yes, of course, some cannot come onto the pitch. Ideally, the club gives us 10 minutes to bask in the warmth or rain and then is strict in getting us off the hallowed turf so they can come on and do the lap of honour in front of everyone. 

the messaging is just so tin eared. Instead of reminding everyone to have a good time and behave themselves they have a big red map with 'dispersal order' written on it.

I wouldn't use the word selfish as I think it's misplaced and I'm not sure what money people have contributed to the club has anything to do with it. There are competing ways people express their joy and I wouldn't place one above the other which is why I hope after 10 minutes people leave the pitch and allow the players to come out so everyone can have what they would ideally like. 

In all honesty if a pitch invasion is about spontaneity and an outburst of exuberance then going on 30 minutes after they've walked around kind of misses the point doesn't it....

Hope so, my first promotion was 68/69 season.😄

Agree! Let's hope we both get what we desire tomorrow! 

Lets agree to differ🍻

THE MODERATORS HAVE ISSUED A STATEMENT.
Going forward, ap04 is something we simply cannot accept
 

not off the leash but I would say the stewards should be strict after 10 minutes of getting people off.

Will this include police dogs off the leash, and half a dozen batons?
Can I change my vote?

They may or may not. If they don't they'll have to do the celebrations as tradition is from the directors box in front of the fans. Obviously hopefully no-one will be an idiot but I'm not that worried as this will be a pitch invasion where people are happy rather than one fuelled with anger and frustration.
