Todays Pitch Invasion. City v Swansea

Can someone tell me whether we'd lift the trophy on the day if we were to win it against united? Or would it be reserved for the last home game of the season?

I believe the club has some say in this and they will want to wait until the last home game to parade both trophies.
 
After the West Ham shenanigans yesterday, I think the FA wouldn't be too happy with any fans coming onto the pitch, regardless of the reasons.

Okie dokey, we didn't lift both though against West ham in 2014 if my memory serves right?

You could be right my memory doesn't provide any details of 2014 beyond the win. But we have never won the league so early before giving the club more opportunity to manage the event. In the past it would have been too presumptuous to print T shirts and other merchandise in advance. Not that other clubs have been as modest in the past.

Whilst I understand why fans would want to go on the pitch if we win the league against the rags, I agree with BBP on this.

In the first instance it’s hardly spontaneous when people are already debating whether to do it or not but secondly, if they do, the players would be shepherded down the tunnel and most likely won’t come back out. It’s not the last game of the season so there is no need to.

However, if the fans remain in the stands it allows the players to go ‘round the pitch to acknowledge their support - and celebrate winning the title whilst the rag fans have to watch. They can’t leave until after we’ve gone so they’d have to listen to the refrains of naaaaah, naaaah, naaah .... City! Just as they had to when we beat them 1-0 in 2012 when the world watched on.

Would the club and the police keep the United fans in if we clinch the title? Wouldn't it make more sense to get them out of the ground and away from the stadium while we are celebrating?

I agree that if there is a pitch invasion the players will leave the pitch and will not come back. If we beat Stoke and Everton I'm expecting the club to launch a huge propaganda campaign in the week leading up to the game aimed at preventing a pitch invasion. There'll be threats of stadium bans for fans invading the pitch and it will be made abundantly clear that there will only be a lap of honour if everyone stays off of the pitch. I expect a massive police and stewarding operation designed to prevent a mass pitch invasion. No way will the club will be as tolerant to a pitch invasion as they were after the QPR and West Ham games.

So let's get this straight. After an afternoon of warming up in pubs and a few in City Square a couple of hundred City fans invade the pitch. This invasion has to include an element of our own dickheads. We now have the scene set we are just waiting for the fuse to be lit. You are a 40+ year old fan with good intentions on the pitch. You are right now in your post guaranteeing that it won't kick off at a derby! It might not but if it does it won't be seen as " good natured" by the FA or the club. If you are confident you can predict the good behaviour of football fans after several hours on the piss feel free to go on the pitch. But don't start moaning next August about how unfair guilt by association is.

Again I agree with the context of your post and no I can’t guarantee no trouble at a crucial derby! It was just the jumbling up what happened at the London stadium yesterday with what will/might happen at the Etihad next month.
 
what's the issue? A lot of the comments on here disapproving are about what other people think, media, owners etc. Who cares, I was on the pitch for the previous two, but on 302 so will give it a miss this time...
 
Some peopel care what the media think, personally I don't.

If an invasion happens then so be it, but I do think if there is one whiff of any mither between us and rag fans we will see GMP come down on us not them.
 
If its the day we could beat the rags and claim the tilte, a pitch invasion could turn ugly knowing what horrible ****s they are.
