[Official Site] PLEASE STAY OFF THE PITCH

PLEASE STAY OFF THE PITCH
Club News

Ahead of our final game of the regular season, a polite reminder that it's against the law to enter the field of play.

Here we go again, although easier with the play off to come

 

So according to that statement there's a chance that anyone doing it might possibly maybe potentially get a ban

 

I’ve a feeling tomorrow won’t be much of a problem, unless Posh win and make the play-off then some of their fans may run on????? The home leg of play-offs potentially will be the main one if we get to Wembley. Could be same if Bolton win if we give them anything more than 2k

 

They should be clear that any fan that goes on the pitch gets banned for life. It's the only way to get tough.

 

Probably be far too many to catch,silly really because everyone wants to see/ thank coaches and players.

 

You think the players and staff want to be jostled at the end of a match? I think we all want to thank them all as we do at the end of a match that has been won. Why do people have to be so selfish?

 

They don't think or care about what other people want,true its selfish.

 

Just stay off the pitch ya fecking nkobs.

 

Whilst I agree with you about them being selfish and shouldnt go on pitch so everyone can enjoy - every interview I've seen of players getting lifted up and hugged and this & that have always said they enjoyed it, albeit that's after they've won promotion/a cup, so it's definitely different circumstances tomorrow!

Edit - that could also just be the player keeping the fans onside, latest one who said he loved it was Ben Foster other week. I suppose it depends on their personalities

 

I think it's very likely that most players who say it's ok to be mobbed by marauding fans are only saying it to, as you say, give a good impression to the fanbase. I'm amazed that none of them ever seem to get badly injured in the melee, but there's always a first time. If I go tomorrow, and it's not certain that I will travel, I want to stand by my seat at the end and give the whole club a big round of applause for a great season. What I DON'T want is to have to sit there for 20 minutes or more waiting for the "look at me, I'm in the ponty end penalty area - oooooh, aren't I clever!" types (kids and adults alike) to get off the grass so that these players can come back and enjoy the applause from those who are left.

It can be done - we've all seen it on tv where bigger crowds than ours stay behind the perimeter fence and just enjoy the fact that they've seen some great performances all season, or maybe in that one game that they have just won to stay up or something. But will it be done tomorrow at Oakwell? Highly unlikely given the fact that most of those who do it year after year never read official site warnings or requests to behave, or even care what anyone else thinks about them. It's only in fun, isn't it.....

 

Can't argue with anything you've put bud. It is selfish, especially if you're in a wheelchair!!

 

Didn’t stop this Chesterfield fan…..looooooool

 

Surely the fans need to look after our pitch for the playoff game…, it’ll be crap if we get beat because of a bobble caused by some numpty taking selfies in the Ponty end penalty area….

 

Ok.. lets have a list of players who the club sed this to after we bought em...al offer...

Mido....

 

When they run on they then try to rip the players shirts and shorts off them. It can get quite aggressive.
Just stay off the pitch.
We generally leave and not show our appreciation as I hate to watch it.
Promotion season to the top division i can understand running on then just leave the players with their shorts on

 

I'm getting a bit Daily Mail in my old age over stuff like this, so I'd issue key stewarding personnel with tazers. Only set to 'stun', obvs......

 

Nobody could be arsed.

 

I imagine if we get Wembley by beating Bolton the message of keep off the pitch will be said again.. looks a tough ask though on current form.
