Whos going ont pitch on Sunday?

Just checked I'm all grown up. Pesky rules eh? I'm choosing to take my daughter onto the pitch rather than having to, just for clarity. She doesn't even want to go on, but I'll drag her on kicking and screaming.

 

Go on then. Explain to me why you're choosing to go onto the pitch? What sort of life changing experience do you think your daughter will get out of such an experience?

It's stupid that running onto a patch of grass has been given this huge meaning that everyone just has to. I hope they bring the coppers out properly this year, and stand right in front of everyone about to run onto the pitch. Stop them watching the match while they stand there, and stop them getting over the barriers.

 

This is important to you isn't it? To answer your question, I'm trying to live out my dreams through my children. You'll also find me on a Sunday morning swearing at the ref whilst watching Tarquin playing in an U7 match.

 

No, I won't. But we do seem to have quite a few fans who are rather intellectually malnourished. Perhaps if they weren't so unintelligent they'd realise that the players would probably walk around the edge of the pitch and sign a few autographs if the pitch was empty.

 

It's become more of a tradition this season to leave early. Left at half time last home match (shakes head). Almost nodded off at Bradford. But that could have been more ale related. I'll see how the Sunday out.
Not renewing either, after (latest) 8 year stretch. Kids have lost interest and I guess I have too. When I saw the thread about best opposition player this season, I thought 'I never took that much notice'. And that was with our players never mind the opposition.

 

Damn right.

Also extremely bad parenting to let your child do something that is clearly announced telling you not to. And then the cycle of stupidity continues with the next generation.

 

I'll be lucky to get past half time never mind hang around to go on the pitch, if it's as bad as it has been since Sheff Utd at home

 

Clearly there's a direct correlation between intelligence and going on the pitch. Finally one of society's great philosophers draws the link for all of us to see. As one of the intellectually malnourished I'd offer thanks but I'm not sure I have the capacity to form a coherent set of words to convey this message.

 

I'm intellectually malnourished too, but won't be venturing onto the pitch. Have you seen how far I'd have to walk to get down there from my seat, only to have to walk back up afterwards? Bugger that for a game of soldiers.
Signed
A bone idle thicko.

 

I did n all. At half time. Because of the charity walk the week previous, we did a lap of honour.

Funnily enough, we charity CD releasers are possibly on the pitch this weekend n all.

I'm a reight trespasser.






In all seriousness though, I bumped this thread to see if anybody's tune had changed after I read the 'new' thread on this annual tradition of talking about another annual tradition at the final home game.


I'm against folk running on, by the way. It doesn't anger me, and when folk run on it doesn't affect my life adversely or owt. I just don't get why folk do it. The reasons given are a load of ********. But each to theirs.




"So did you go on the pitch?"

"Aye, I did arr."

"What was it like?"

"I ran on a bit sheepish like, I mean I am 27 years old. In no time at all I realised lots of supporters were angry and booing me for being on the pitch. I'd not even done owt really. So I got off as soon as possible."

"Did you feel better for the experience?"

"No, I felt exactly like Scott Wiseman.."

 

You spoil football for the normal fan!

Sirry not football, i meant music.

 

If the season is not over on Sunday then the only people that should be going on the pitch after the final whistle is the groundsmen preparing the surface for the playoffs. I have no concerns over fans going on the pitch taking photos lying on the hallowed turf their heros play on after the final competitive game has been played this season. We still have some moronic element that may damage the pitch and if we have a game left to play on it they should respect that nuff said

 

The season isn't over on Sunday.

No one should go on the pitch.

Simples.

 

It was tradition to wait in the stands and allow players to come back out. The players also used to throw their shirts out or give boots away. Only time getting on the pitch was acceptable was if they'd won promotion, secured playoff place or knocked a heavyweight out of a cup.
Remember everyone in the pitch when Machin was manager. We thought we'd grabbed a playoff place, only I think it was Brighton who scored a late goal which meant we missed out on goal difference.

 

Thought we played on Saturday not Sunday?

Or is he on about Wigan away?

 

This with bells on^^^^^
If everybody behaved them selves, let the players walk round and let the kids stand at the front, the could get autographs, pics whatever, I mean like loads of kids not the few fastest who MIGHT manage something before the players dash off as it is now. then when the players had gone they could have a walk on the pitch, nobody club included would have any problem.
But it wouldn't work would it , you will have the usual muppets elbowing kids out of the way.
The tradition of running on the pitch thing as I remember it was when the players ran up the tunnel they would come out into the West Stand and wave to the fans and take any applause that was going.
The bit I don't understand is so called sensible adults doing it now straight after the game and encouraging their kids to do it, the club patently don't want them to do it nor do the majority of the fans. I mean I get why they would want to to see what it's like but the view is the same when any lap of honour was over.
It's the fk everybody else attitude that people seem happy to instil in their kids that I don't get

 

Original post has been dragged up from last year where our last game was a Sunday.

I think it's called 'recycling' or even '**** stirring'

 

**** stirring.

 

I don't think our club particularly care about people going on the pitch. If they wanted it to stop you could get the stewards with like 5-10 minutes to go (or someone else) to easily put up some of those tall gates that keep people out of building sites. Council will have loads of em they can lend for an afternoon. Job done

 

Pretty sure that would be illegal at a football match dreamy.
