On The Pitch!!

[zemas tendon 0]

If we do mange promotion, will we all go on the pitch at the final whistle against Coventry!!

[City penguin 0]

we should but we dont have enough of that type of fan, not having a dig our fans are great just cant see a mass pitch invaision.

[Canary_on_the Trent 0]

Yawn! Here we go again, lets run around aimlessly and ruin the celebrations for everybody else.

[City penguin 0]

point proved ^ we dont have that type of fan. Going on the pitch wouldnt harm anyone or ruin anything.

[Harry 0]

As I said last season this sort of thing should be spontaneous not prearranged, amongst other things it tips the Club off what is being planned.

What does going onto the pitch achieve?

Just never seen the fascination of running around like a headless chicken, I guess simple things do it for simple folk.

[Legend Iwan 30]

Harry’s spot on. It’s meant to be a spontaneous act of sheer passion and joy.

 I can already hear the tannoy announcement, “if anyone encroaches the field of play, Paul Lambert and the team won’t come out back out.” That will be blasted out a good 15mins before the end.

Football used to be a working mans game with unrivalled passion and pride. Im guessing your either a young fan or part of the new "delia" wave of fans. Im not saying thats a bad thing or critisising but football is watered down these days.

Isn''t this just a tad premature, if OP wants to invade the pitch if successful let him, hopefully he might be alone.  Lifetime ban for the numbskull, only spoil it for the law abiding majority.  If it happens just enjoy the day and use your brain.

What is so great about running onto the pitch and running around aimlessly?

Maybe i''m just ignorant

ever seen the league cup semi final against ipswich video? Watch it and tell me you wouldnt want to be part of it. If you dont your a happy clapper ;)

[Canary_on_the Trent 0]

I can''t say how i''d react in the moment of sheer joy if it was allowed but the fact of the matter is; it isn''t allowed and I don''t see how it is worth going against the wishes of the club and ruining the enjoyment of others for.

[City penguin 0]

if its allowed how is it a pitch invasion? Please explain how it would ruin it for others? For me the fact its not aloud makes it all the more fun. Cut from different cloth me and you.

[CaptnCanary 0]

I''d love to run on the pitch and join in the celebrations. I mean, how often do you get to step out on the hallowed turf? If you can''t appreciate that then you cannot have any passion, surely? But if the club will end up getting fined for it then I would prefer nobody did it. In my opinion, this should be allowed when exceptional achievement has occured, i.e. promotion or winning a trophy.

Where is the "i" in we... never once mentioned "I" will be on the pitch, i agree with penguin, we havent got that type of fan at City, nearly every club in the land does it... brighton just done it, so they must be all numb skulls and not law abiding!!

Well done op. I am sure a spontaneous pitch invasion would have happened if  / when we get promoted. You have however just made it a planned event, we already know this message board is read, so well done I am sure you have now organised the club statement prior to the last game. So before you now go slating your fellow fans for following the club statement remember people like you tried to plan it.

On a slightly different note if there is a pitch invasion do those already warned still get bans as previously stated ?.

 

[DDD In The Fine City 1]

If we win promotion with a late goal and it feels right at the time i''m on there like a shot to enjoy the celebrations with the players

[Mello Yello 2,572]

On the pitch?

 

NO TAR.......

[ThorpeCanary 71]

If we earn promotion with a late goal, or even if we are holding on to a win by one goal (or drawing if its enough) with everybody baying the referee to blow his whistle - when it finally hits full time then yes I think thats when a pitch invasion would happen. Anything else then no, i remember last time when the Barclay had been singing "we''re going on the pitch" all game then jeered members of the snake pit when they actually went on!

I wont be on either way, damn upper tier.

[DOGGER 0]

Yes i would, would man hug Holt & Wessi in celebration, nothing wrong with that!!

Just looked at my seat in the ground... it reads " On the Pitch events manager"

it doesnt "ruin it for others". Look at stoke city, rochdale, bournemouth etc, its part of the celebrations. doesnt stop the players coming out, if we go up to the prem and there is a pitch invasion there is not a chance the players will run into the changing room and stay there. in any case celebrating on the pitch is better than standign in a stand with players doing a lap of honour.players love ithttp://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRPgATt-b1EHvPIxu5r01dgfk_O18el4EOliiXSWfHgDUNKEclb&t=1http://www.austinchronicle.com/binary/f005/StokePitchInvasion08.jpghttp://whydelilah.adaptive.co.uk/files/images/Cresswell-against-Leicester.jpghttp://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/paulfletcher/bournemouth595.jpghttp://www.bbc.co.uk/stoke/content/images/2008/05/04/scfc_delap_promotion_main_203x152.jpghttp://image.guim.co.uk/Guardian/sport/gallery/2008/may/08/photography/GD7145570@Stoke-City-City-v-Lei-8146.jpghttp://www.paulcurriephotography.co.uk/gallery/public/images_upload/2032727.jpg

I wouldn''t mind betting that they weren''t organised in advance on message boards, just look what happened at Carrow Road last season, it was just pathetic.

It''s fans like this happy clapper that give us our little club tag.

[Harry 0]

Care to say who is the Happy Clapper?

Why does anyone even bother replying to Tamas Zendon. He''s just a stupid troller, probably even a scum fan!
