Ewe Ram Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 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.

Why don’t we simply not worry about it and act accordingly when/if the time happens. And by accordingly I mean alcohol. Indeed.

The word "invasion" is what it is, There's people who want to see the players do the above, With an "invasion" players will not be allowed to come out until the pitch is cleared...by this time lots of fans have left the stadium to go and get pissed or home to hug their partner.

Eddie Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 5 hours ago, old tray boy said: 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. 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.

Although I imagine that the club wouldn't admit this publicly, I strongly suspect that when citing Health and Safety, it's not "we" they are thinking about. The safety of two lots of players, two lots of club officials, and a gang of match officials, on the other hand... Not everyone on the pitch will behave like "an adult"! Sadly!

Rich3478 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Get the sense people just like to judge other fans, anyone who’s watched any football in the last ten years will know there will be a pitch invasion if we are promoted. didn’t even occur to me that was a potential negative until I came on here! I don’t really care what happens to be honest as long as we’re promoted! archram and Derby4Me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trappatoni Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 If we go up on the last game I'm on the pitch - I don't believe it's beyond the army of stewards they employ all year for no apparent reason to usher the players off safely - not that I think that would be needed.

You give your game away, its just self-indulgent nonsense. As a supporter since since 1960 and having seen the best and worst of times I have never felt the need or desire to go on the pitch. As has been said, allowing the players a lap of honour allows all fans to show their appreciation Dordogne-Ram, Tamworthram, Crewton and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4derby Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Getting a trophy for finishing second in the league and then celebrating it is very much the definition of ‘tinpot’. And you’d better believe most of us will be celebrating it with pride. After all we’ve been through as a club, we’re should enjoy any and every small (or large) victory we can in our own way.

maydrakin Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I imagine it’s necessary to advise that it is criminal offence, as the FA will also be within their rights to punish us for a pitch invasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans are treated as an inconvenience by football far too much these days. If you don't want to go on the pitch fine but it's sad if you can't enjoy other people celebrating.
