    Just once, I'd like to see the players able to do a proper 'lap of honour' without having to first sprint down the tunnel and reappear 20 minutes later.

    When the occasion calls for it, I'm all up for seeing the fans embark on the pitch and celebrate with the players, but over the last few seasons, the occasion hasn't called for it, and I've always left the ground as soon as the seats empty, and the idiots run onto the field. The stewards do absolutely nothing, and I mean NOTHING to prevent anyone running on the field. Why not have a police officer with a German Shepherd at various parts of the surrounding gravel track? Surely that would dissuade even the most idiotic of pitch invader.

    Does anyone agree, or do you welcome the seemingly annual pitch invasion?

    I don't like the pitch invasions but at the same time I'm
    not going to give the players a standing ovation for not getting to 50 points.

    Lets just be thankful, they'll be joyous pitch invaders

    and not commiserating that we've been relegated. personally I don't give a **** about the annual pitch invadrs and I've witnessed it since the 70s sort of traditional really. makes me laugh the seemingly dismay and overreaction it creates on this board. Bit like the scab chanting with Forest its going tom happen get over it.

    can't agree with you more Tarntyke, nobody said owt in the 80's & 90's it was a tradition and a chance to grab some players kit. FFS l'd rather the coppers in Barnsley did more to clear the smackheads out of kids playgrounds & concentrate on burglary than worry about a few kids running on some grass.

    I'll be invading the pitch. Straight along the edge of the eighteen yard box and up the west stand steps then out.

    It can be stopped, and should. The players shouldn't be chased off the pitch. They should be allowed to give their thanks to the supporters in a proper way.

    There is a big difference between running on the pitch when something magnificent happens (promotion for example) but I couldn't think of anything more pointless than at the end of a season like this.

    It could also cost the club a fair old chunk of money, should the grass become diseased (like it was in the promotion season) and need to be re-layed.

    Yes I agree its really frustrating when you want to see the players at the end of the season. The club don't want it to happen but do jack-**** to stop it. It'll be the same this season.

    A good way to stop them coming onto the pitch is to give all stewards baseball bats and the green light to crack the little sods rarnd ead!

    Only joking, it's almost a tradition now, let them have they 10 minutes of fun.

    Don't like the annual pitch invasion, but I ain't going to applaud the team on a lap of honour this season.....I'll be straight out of my seat at the final whistle as usual, at least folks being on the pitch will make the getaway from Oakwell quicker!

    I wonder just how many people don't even think about it until the announcement to stay off the pitch at the final whistle is made?!

    Give the stewards in front of the stands barbed wire as a shield. Put up net fences with a couple of minutes to go that people won't try climbing over. Whatever happens anyway i'll not be hanging around as the players haven't earned an end of season applause.

    Re: alap of "HONOUR" you have to be joking

    Did it when i wa younger once, thought it was cool to be on pitch. Now it just annoys me when they do it if i wanna clap the team, which i usually always do if i'm there.

    But like others say, this season don't really deserve a lap of honour.
