These are are same simpletons that will be the first to slag the team off when we lose a few games . Even the Woking fans were embarrassed by some of our fans behaviour . I'm guessing these "fans" are the same morons that get over excited at junior football

It all started decades ago when tv was black and white. Match of the Day showed Millwall fans ' invading the pitch' ( that was the description ). The FA did nothing and it was treated with contempt for the following 6 days.

The following Saturday it happened at 2/3 other games and spread like wildfire. It hasn't really stopped and I don't think it ever will; look at Southend fans protesting the other week. I personally don't like the idea, never have and never will, but the real culprits, Millwall fans!, got away with it as the others who immediately followed did.

The players rightly so go to the fans when they score and the fans must learn not to cross the boundary onto the pitch; beit advertising boards or small fences.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Quoted from supertown
It’s a criminal offence and embarrassing. I don’t buy into this emotional nonsense. It’s all pretty much premeditated. The ones that do it know they are going to do it, given the opportunity.


Some member head actually moved a wheel bin from up against the hoarding so he could jump on the pitch at Alty. Just before Hunt's free kick towards the end. Same lad had already been on the pitch twice. Not passion or excitement, premeditated idiocy.

What happened on Saturday seems harmless enough but as more of the fair weather fans (probably) jump on the bandwagon then it can easily get out of hand.  If someone swings for a steward then all hell could break loose.  There's no need for it.

its hardly crime of the century is it, carnt see what the big problem is as long as its not involving any malice. So I ask the question do you all disagree with a pitch invasion if we got promoted or stayed up? How I look at it is, paying fans causing no hassle just showing their emotion and congratulating players.

Just because something is illegal doesn’t really mean it’s needs the Whitehouse brigade to get all high and mighty on here…

Driving like a lunatic is dangerous, speeding and reckless over taking is illegal but happens on my way to work every morning…that can kill people…running on a pitch, as daft as it may seem, isn’t going to kill anyone…

If it looks like a hooligan, smells of stale beer and urine like a hooligan...


Don't get me wrong it's pathetic that grown men can't control themselves, but jumping up and down in celebration on the pitch is not hooliganism. It's illegal, and given the potential consequences for the club, pretty indefensible, but it's not hooliganism.

How many fans jumping onto the pitch is acceptable in your mind? If you condone a few then slowly more people begin to do it and it becomes a huge problem.

But then you have the debate on how to actually deal with it…this is a small incident being turned in to a full scale riot.

I’d argue banning orders don’t work (few punitive measures do) so what’s the solution…you also couple that with some heavy handed police work in certain situations and the whole thing becomes a pressure cooker.

They run on, the jump up and down, they dive back in. Less then 30 seconds, no harm done, the end.
