Pitch invasions

[mattcity5]

I'm slightly surprised the club hasn't found a way to monetise the pitch invasions tbh...

An option to add on "pitch invasion" to your ticket purchase for £10. Give everyone going on a wristband and get the stewards to only stop those without the wristband on.

That'd be the future fine paid for in advance....

(I'm half-joking here.)

Imagine your own fans invading your own pitch for no reason what so ever, and then shouting and gesturing at you to fuck off when you boo at them for it.

Grown men swearing back at families with kids who are sat doing the right thing in the crowd, and then trying to justify it on here. You couldn't make it up. (Many many instances of this happened yesterday)

OK

Yeah I know other clubs do, small clubs. I agree the crossbar thing though, wasn’t good. Happened once though. We’re being ridiculed in the media for the pitch invasion anyway. Called small time again, by every rival fan. Only a small club would celebrate winning a league so wildly it seems. I so dearly want to be considered a big club (said with pure sarcasm).

Truth be told, I give zero fucks about what rival fans think and say, what the media think and say, what they get wrong and how, how it looks or is presented.

It is unfortunate that in this instance, what I think and what they are saying happens to coincide. Which always disappoints me.

But at the end of the day, fuck it, it is ultimately just football fans being football fans. And forum commentators having opinions on it.

We are the champions and nothing changes that. And there is more to play for, with more to celebrate.

It's worth pursuing. Facial recognition with the stewards and only those who have stumped up can get on. At least it'd pay the FArce fine that will drop through the Etihad letter box on the morning of the Cup Final.

It was disappointing that, before the RM match, City chose to show highlights of the QPR match, with greater footage of the pitch invasion than the trophy presentation

I don't mind pitch invasions, per se. As an explosion of unbridled joy, it happens. After the QPR, West Ham and Aston Villa title deciders, I fully got it.

Yesterday, however, I couldn't get my head around it. There was nobody there that felt unbridled joy, whose emotions were out of control at the end of the game. It wasn't a spontaneous thing. It was pre-planned.

Now, again, I wouldn't have too much issue with it in itself. However, what kind of numb-nut must you be to go on the pitch when the club has been warned that sanctions up to as far as a ground closure for one game could be implemented should there be another, and that banning orders could be issued upon yourself for the breaking of ground regulations?

City, the club, did not want people on the pitch and repeatedly appealed for fans not to do so, yet these people blatantly stick two fingers up the club and the players.

As for those trying to bring the goalposts down, those that did it last year were given substantial bans from the ground. How on earth can somebody be so stupid as to try and do it again?

The dimwittedness of a cross section of our society never ceases to amaze me.

I’m in south stand L1 a couple of rows from the front and I’ll be honest, it was a bit cringe today. I didn’t go on.

We need to move past it and it’s all rather small time IMO.

Same here, SS Lev1 Row 2 and chose not to go on

I’ve read it all know.

Connecting the increased cost of season tickets and match day tickets prices to a possible fine by the PL. Lol!

Don’t worry, when the club increased the cost of season tickets and match day tickets for next season I’m sure they factored in any fine from the PL for another pitch invasion.

It’s been almost RAWKish on this thread since yesterday,
