I'll most probably be having an end of season party for the rest of the summer, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icey Saint Posted 26 April, 2011 Share Posted 26 April, 2011 i love to see the passion when the pitch is full of fans BUT ....................... (and i am sure i will get slated for this) it ruins it for those of us that choose not to run on the pitch (or cant) and we then dont get to see the players lap of honour. so do it at Plymouth but stay off at St Marys please.

dune Posted 26 April, 2011 Share Posted 26 April, 2011 A pitch invasion at Plymouth is likely if we go up. That would go down well with the locals. For us to go up there would mean relegating them.

sammysaint Posted 26 April, 2011 Share Posted 26 April, 2011 Dont pitch invade at plymouth, allow the players to come over and celebrate with the fans that go and the rest of us at SMS vs walsall, do a pitch invasion if everyone else is otherwise allow the lap of honour. but im not thinking about the championship until saints have another at least 4 points from the next 2.

S-Clarke Posted 26 April, 2011 Share Posted 26 April, 2011 They might have a problem if we relegate them by winning or drawing. Same happened that day, Newcastle won 2-0 - secured promotion but relegated Plymouth at the same time. Always thought it was quite odd that Plymouth were so generous as to play that....although maybe they felt they were down before that game anyway.

Matthew Le God Posted 26 April, 2011 Share Posted 26 April, 2011 Why do people feel the need to go on the pitch anyway? Why can't you celebrate in the stands? If Saints fans do it against Walsall it may end up getting the club in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 26 April, 2011 Share Posted 26 April, 2011 (edited) "I still don't understand the need for the Northam End to celebrate on the pitch rather than in the stands." Why pick the Northam end, not just "fans" then? Because in previous pitch invasions at St Mary's the Northam stand is where it tends to start from and a higher % of those in the Northam stand illegally enter the field of play than from the Itchen/Chapel/Kingsland stands. Sweeping generalisations but... Itchen - full of the posh seats and the old Kingsland - full of the old Chapel - full of families Northam - full of chavs more likely to start chants of "on the pitch, on the pitch", and then actually run on the pitch and break the law. I'm not saying people from the Chapel/Kingsland/Itchen won't go on the pitch, many of them will when they see that the stewards and police have given up due to overwhelming numbers. But I bet you it is the Northam that is at the heart of any pitch invasion. I really don't see why going on the the pitch to celebrate is better than doing it in the stands. It will also delay the players coming out after the game for a lap of honour. Edited 26 April, 2011 by Matthew Le God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 26 April, 2011 Share Posted 26 April, 2011 Invading the pitch is one of the best feelings ever, 10 years ago we were all on the pitch when le tiss scored last min v arsenal, it is nothing new and anyone who simply doesn't understand the enjoyment to be had is probably a boring bastard.

The Northam at their finest. One of the many reasons I and many others no longer sit there. To be more specific, about 30 people at the back will sing it, loads will sing along with no intention of going on the pitch unless hundreds of others do, then a few will get persuaded into following them because they have even worse judgement, that will escalate or not depending on the crowd control (dogs and the like will wind up the nobbers who will then be determined to get on JUST to annoy the people who dare to stop them), and the people who think they're acting like childish bellends showing off and stopping everyone else from enjoying themselves properly will boo the shart out of them, and rightly so. Personally I'd rather the pr1cks stay off the pitch and give all of us the chance to see the team celebrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly because the crowd has initially gathered at the front of the Northam. The crowd control (stewards / police /dogs etc) gathers there, leaving those in the side stand (which includes people who've snuck under the barrier from the Northam during the second half, and don't tell me it doesn't happen, I've watched them) a relatively clear run.

Threads like this could well end up making ourselves look like utter divs. As opposed to the "completely justifiable" pitch invasion against Burnley which didn't make anyone look like a div as it was to celebrate, um... nothing. Practically all pitch invasions are started by people with the mentality of children just showing off. There's then a pecking order of peer group pressure and acceptance which gradually encompasses practically everyone, depending on how likely it looks that there will be any repercussions, and how interested in being on the pitch they are - rather than just going home. With that in mind, here's a photo of the centre spot from after the Sheffield Utd game under Pearson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott_saints Posted 26 April, 2011 Share Posted 26 April, 2011 To answer a couple of points: 1- Why can't you just celebrate in the stands That's what I do EVERY other time in the season when celebrating, hence it being a bit more special to celebrate differently. 2- You will delay the lap of honour Honestly, boo f**king hoo. Do you really think after the players have just been promoted (IF!) they will be bothered if they get home 10 mintues later than planned. Probably not. And as for the fans in the stand waiting for it, just enjoy celebrating in SMS for another 10 minutes seeing as you will not be there in the summer. OR just join us on the pitch and don't be boring. For me, watching any pitch invasion on the TV always looks like the fans are loving it and it is a much more ecstatic way to celebrate than watching a stadium politely applaud and cheer a promotion/survival. I will always join in a pitch invasion at SMS (when CELEBRATING anyway.....I thought the angry "we've just been relegated" one was cringeworthy). Make the most of it while you're allowed to, which you will be after 30 or so fans are already on. Saves spending 300 odd quid to play on the surface anyway!! xXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamster Posted 27 April, 2011 Share Posted 27 April, 2011 There is no feeling in the world that compares to being amongst thousNds of fellow fans on OUR pitch if you are celebrating something, somincan understand why people feel the urge For those lucky enough to have actually played on it, it brings back happy memories. I remember when it was actuLly encouraged and the players would throw their shirts down from the West Stand. I still have a shoulder from Danny Walace's shirt that I fought over with about twenty others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
