Pitch invasion

[rogdogblue]

was generally accepted by the club that we would invade, the stewards were briefed on this.

City winning the league = Pitch invasion
Rags winning the league = No pitch invasion

I can't remember any other Prem winning team doing it.

Hopefully none have as it's another City thing ;)

It's in our DNA
pitch invasion by Blues in 68 at Newcastle and remember another at Maine road against Bury in the pre season friendly to celebrate winning the League.
We have consistently done it down the years since.
It does seem unique to us on a regular basis

showing my age now,but I invaded the pitch with thousands of other blues when we gained promotion,v southhampton,1965/66 season,its very much a city thing.

There was a really old boy in a cap taking a stroll (he looked like he was the plus side of 80) with what looked like his so or grandson.... Amoung all the celebration I felt it was someone making a dream come true

Myself I went on with my two lads, once in the middle I just looked up at the full stands and heard the 'championes' chant - everytime I think or retell the story I get goosebumps - what a great memory :-)

Having a quiet night in, so I've watched both last weeks game and QPR game. The pitch invasion was actually better last week! Not as emotional as QPR one but in terms of numbers it looked a lot better!

Maybe because the stewards weren't trying to stop it this time? Now we had huge numbers very quickly. Not like the trickle of a dam breaking last time.

City 5 Charlton 1 promotion - we invaded the pitch
Bradford away - we invaded the pitch
Birmingham at home when Fat Bob scored - we invaded the pitch
the next week at Ewood Park when we won 1-4 and got promoted - we invaded the pitch

Erm.... Me too. A lot of Blues lack discipline, wouldn't have it any other way tbh.

As pitch invasions go, it wasn't as spontaneous as most, but it was respectful, and despite all the announcements the stewards did little or nothing to stop it. I particularly liked the announcements once people were on the pitch, and it was good to see the pitch clear so quickly to let the presentation take place.

Only it didn't did it? The fact that people had had to be asked many times. That fans had to boo and chant off. It IS small time. I don't want to see fat women waving to people in the stands, men skidding on the damp grass and kids doing cartwheels and seeing who can be last off. I could understand QPR. The WHU one was just not needed and for this time it would have been good to see the players' immediate reactions rather than the aforementioned fat women, kids and fifty year old men, trying to climb the goalposts. I genuinely wanted the last few off to be arrested and banned. I defiantly wanted the ones who ran on during the lap of honour banned.

Miserable bastard you are...

Blackburn away, we invaded the pitch. Nicked the furry microphones.
Wigan at home, we invaded the pitch. Even though we weren't promoted.
Luton at home we invaded the pitch. Looking for pleats money.
Spurs at home we invaded the pitch. Fight!
Chelsea at home, we invaded the pitch. And threw clumps of turf at their fans.
Perm the rest.

Are we, or are we not, the Champions of pitch invading?
