Pitch invasions

Along with loyalty points deductions.

What next, water torture, burning at the stake, dismemberment, etc.

Seriously, the state of this thread.

It’s pretty obvious some people don’t think before they post on here, the consequences on someone’s life of banning them from going City would be catastrophic for most. I know I’d be lost without City, all because they had to wait 15 minutes longer for the trophy presentation lol

Green Mile electric chair where Percy doesn't wet the sponge. Paul Dickov can do it.
 
I’ve seen a video of a City fan trying to get on to the pitch. As he jumps the first advertising board, he falls over it and falls into the second advertising board and lands on the concrete steps. All the City fans in the stand are laughing at him. He get’s up and scrambles over the 2nd advertising board and get’s on to the pitch. Whilst he‘s doing that 2 stewards either side of him just look at him and stay where they are.

What are stewards actually paid to do ? Serious question.

Let me get this right.

You wan City to randomly pick out 100 fans and ban them, and at the same time allow 1000’s of other fans off who did exactly the same thing.

Good one!

Another bizarre idea. The longer this thread goes on the more bizarre ideas to stop pitch invasions get posted.

If you remember last time, I think between 10-20 people were for banned for various reasons, not all pitch invasion related, and weren’t their pictures in the MUEN?

Decimation always used to work as a punishment and deterrent.

OK I accept that my exaggerated suggestion isn’t the best answer but something does have to be done. Perhaps we are given a million pound fine next season (fair enough? Yet you are one of the most vocal about ticket price increases) or a match played behind closed doors? What if we are docked 12 points next season or Haaland or KDB were injured (or worse stabbed) by some numpty/ madman?
There has to be a deterrent as it’s been shown that fans won’t respect the club
 
I took a mate yesterday, he has not got long left on this earth as he is dying of brain cancer. He wanted to City live one last time, he will not see another season.

He is in a wheelchair, but we did not have a wheelchair berth and the stewards were superb with him helping him to his seat, his speech is virtually non existant, he loved yesterday though. Sadly we had to leave with a few minutes to go on the sound advice of the safety steward who helped him back to his wheelchair, because I knew that the rush to get on the pitch could have put him in serious danger and there was no way I was having that.

I get winning the league is exciting,but as a fanbase we seriously have to grow up. We missed the trophy lift and celebrations because I had to get him away from danger, one knock on the head would kill him.

He still had a great day, Andy Morison was brilliant with him and we had a piccy together, he was made up, but it could have been much much more for a Blue who is on the way out.

Great effort mate. Sadly those going on the pitch were only thinking of themselves. Really needs to stop now, it's needless.

I've read several posters saying they think our pitch invasion was embarrassing. Really?

I disagree. Breaking into your own stadium in a demo against the owners which led to a game being cancelled is what i think is embarrassing.

Nah, it's naff, it's embarrassing and it's a fucking pain in the arse watching selfish twats run around on the pitch when you have paid to see City players on there.

Well done, blue. I can say as someone that is unfortunately going down a very similar path as your mate, he will have appreciated everything you did, even if he is no longer able to fully express his thanks. I dream of being able to go to a match again before I fully lose real awareness of what is going on. Hopefully that will happen in the next few years.

Your mate’s situation is just one example of the actual consequences of thousands of people only caring about themselves and ignoring how their actions impact on others, including on the club they support.

Unfortunately, the sort of self-centred, irresponsible, careless behaviour on display yesterday—and the truly bizarre defences of it in this thread, from people that spend countless hours denouncing the same sort of cuntish behaviour by United and Liverpool supporters—are indicative of an increasingly narcissistic, hypocritical culture taking over the UK and elsewhere.

For many, rules and laws—and the well-being and wishes of others, especially those outside of their own narrow perspective and experience of the world—are far less important than their own impetuous desires.

Sad to see but very much becoming the new “normal”, as evidenced yesterday and in this thread.
