Mihangel Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Self policing is the only way - I assume most of them live in a corner of twitter where maybe they could be encouraged that it's a bad idea but I suspect that they, like most, will exist in an echo chamber among their cohorts.

We'll end up going back to the barriers and cages of the 80s if we're not careful. I can only presume it is because those idiots running on to pitches now have never experienced the discomfort and claustrophobia that causes. Supporters and clubs have had an unspoken pact to honour the divide and keep our freedoms for several decades now but the kids breaking that risk spoiling it for the rest of us. It drove me right away from football before and would do so again if they return to caging us in.

Think a standard heavy fine across all leagues and a lifetime ban would stop it, if its someones child the parent gets the ban that would soon make them educate their kids and stop them running on, its been glorified by players giving out their shirts to them too much which is a big cause for it.

Those idiots that have run on would have second thoughts when seeing a dog straining to catch them. In May 1987, Torquay United defender Jim McNichol was bitten in the thigh by a police dog during the final game of the season against Crewe Alexandra. This forced an extended injury time during which Torquay equalised, earning a point that helped avoid relegation. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an outgoing person Crewton, I say what I mean and mean what I say, I've done things that others wished they would/could have done in my life, I play to the crowd at times, Had lots of friends and gained some enemys, But as Esther Rantzen said..."that's life" ? Life now is a breaze, Retire very soon, Moving home and I treat everyday as tho it was my last, On my headstone it will say.

Nishfan Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Apart from anything else, more police & stewards will be used at each match which costs money the club doesn’t have, or money that could be better used. The bigger picture is player safety. One day it won’t end well. We don’t need it Kathcairns, Mucker1884 and angieram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’d be painting pride park with a toothbrush or cleaning the visitors toilets with the likes of Buxton and CKR making sure they don’t slack There's always the option of having to cut the grass on the pitch with a pair of very small toenail clippers Either that or be forced to go and sit in the Bridgford Stand at the $hitty Ground every other weekend jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bumped into an old friend in Torquay at one of the Retaraunts by the habour where seagulls pinch your food, The friend was a good keeper, His Dad was from Eire and his Mum was a Native American, His name is Tom O'Hawk. oomarkwright and Ken Tram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
