I didn't say I had the answer but other clubs manage it so why can't we? I also said it was inevitable but off the top of my head seen as the police dogs are already in attendance and end up making an appearance why not get them out early. I had a retired police German Shepherd who's presence alone proved to be a major deterrent. Failing that we know the sprinkler system works, bang that on!
all pitch invaders nead a CRB check . its in the rules. no school children if the checks havent been done, ben said so.
We don't manage to stop it because we have dozens of police and stewards lined up in front of an empty West stand every year. We make no attempt to stop it, only to control it after it happens. And that is the problem
Can't say it's ever bothered me in the last 38 seasons. We've all done it, when we were kids. Except the self-righteous mob, who would install electric fences given the chance.
That would be relatively amusing maybe we could pretend that Conor Wilkinson won player of the year and drown him on the pitch.
Seem to remember fighting the year before last - certainly one family of middle-aged mongs fighting among themselves on the pitch and offering on septuagenarian all-comers in front of the West Stand. Surely there's a difference between the last game of the season and the penultimate one (hopefully it'll only even be the penultimate home game). Don't think there'd be anything harmless about some 25 stone fortysomething p!ssed/drugged to his eyeballs lumbering on to the pitch and injuring, say Adam Hammill, and putting him out for Wigan and/or the play-offs. Going on the pitch is against the law, we pay zillions to SY piggery and so they should enforce the law, simples, no issues. They only do it at Oakwell 'cos they can - I doubt they'll try getting on the pitch at Wigan. Mindst I'd love one of 'em to get near Robbo and see what they got.
Not quite sure that going on the pitch is against the law. Happens at loads of grounds up and down the country. Not sure if they get het up about it and just get on with stuff. Doesn't bother me either way. There's death and poverty and starving children in the world I'd put it about 8 billion and 75 on my list of stuff to worry about somewhere below thinking of methods to prevent Mumford and Sons making a new album but above the flagging campaign to bring back Texan bars.
I'll be going on the pitch. Straight out the east stand across the box. Up the steps in west stand and out. While everyone else is booing the kids/parents/pissheads and or running about the pitch I'll be able to get served quicker
Going on the pitch is against the law, we pay zillions to SY piggery and so they should enforce the law, simples, no issues. I expect you'll be the first to criticise 'SYPiggery' for arresting someone who's too young, too old, not causing any bother, only having a laugh, sticking the boot in and causing further disorder as a result. Should we cancel all leave so we can have enough cops to catch and process every one of them and spend hours identifying them in lieu of other crimes?
