Todays Pitch Invasion. City v Swansea

[bugsyblue]

I think the point is being missed about my OP.

I don't mind pitch invasions and most people don't either, however a couple of things

All the examples of the previous invasions are all final games and we have dramatically clinched a reault we needed, this time it looks to be with many games to spare, and the trophy won't be presented that day anyway.

If the possibility of it being derby dy, a pitch invasion even in good nature will have them ****s get on too and trouble, and onlyone set of fans will get blamed.

After the notrites at wign the other week and us strongly condeming their crowd control the club will get pelters if we then have the same.

A good natured celibratary pitch invasion is always a bit of fun, but maybe this time it might be better to leave it.

Save it for Kiev :-)

And you’re missing the point yourself. It’s spontaneous. Imagine, it’s against united and we are losing 2-0 at halftime and their fans are rubbing it, maybe singing ‘wheres your pitch invasion gone’ then second half we bang in 3 goals with the final one being scored in the last minute from an agueroooooo screamer, crowd goes wild, ref blows his whistle, people stream onto the pitch... I’m ducking there mate.

I understand your points mate, however There isn't a rule somewhere where it says you can only have a pitch invasion if it's the last game or a title winning game. We'd still be winning the league in that game - more then enough of a reason to do it.

For me Wigan fans randomly running on the pitch is a bit different to us doing it by winning the league. If it does happen it will be amazing just like every other time :)

City wouldn’t be City without a pitch invasion every now and again.

As long as it doesn’t escalate into a confrontation with away fans I’m totes in favour of it

I get that, we have all gone on the pitch at some point, and most of the time it isn't planned, but spur of the moment, still this time I will hold myself back, the thread gauges the mood and is a good discussion, other will go on and if they do, they do, just think this time is different with possibly so many games left.

For those running on the pitch or advocating it, first up, what gives you the right to impose on the enjoyment of those remaining in the stands wanting to see it all unfold without a load of idiots on the pitch....selfisness nothing else.

It might also be remembered that it is a criminal offence, bans and prosecution are quite possible if you choose to go on the pitch. I have a couple of friends who support Millwall some of whos supporters went on the pitch at Wembley following the play off win last season and know find themselves with a banning order following the early morning knock from plod weeks later. Contrary to the natural assumption that Millwalls supporters were upto no good whilst on the pitch they were doing nothing more than our fans have done when we have won the league....celebrating.

There is no need for it, supporters are told its not wanted by the players the club and certainly not by those normal folk who remain in the stand. Given all of this I do wonder what is between the ears of those suggesting it a good idea, more so after a derby.....what could possibly go wrong ffs!

Oh and what a great excuse to give UEFA or the FA to fuck us over.

Boring.

It’s been done to death now. Would look very small time now

Agree personally, it would show the fanbase has progressed along with the club. There's no point trying to tell people what to do I guess though, it will be interesting to see what happens.

Peps already changed the way we watch games IMO, nobody moans or panics about playing out from the back anymore, you don't tend to hear moans of "it's just side to side passing" anymore, most appreciate how we can beat a press in the middle of the pitch with our passing in fact, they understand it better now.

As big as a PL title is, maybe the natural progression is fans are/will be more used to seeing City win these trophies so pitch invasions aren't needed? I would much prefer fans make it about showing the team and the coaching staff their dues, make it about them not the fans, it's been a real treat this season and it's down to them.

So you take the view of fuck what the club want fuck what the players want, and fuck what the other fans in the stand want, boring and correct.

I agree, I think the circumstances as they currently stand will means it’s doesnt spontaneously happen but I hate the ‘worthyness’ of some of the posts on here. It was the same before the qpr game; don’t do it, it will ruin it for the players, for some of the fans, it’s illegal... blar blar blar.

A more interesting thread would be ‘to all those fans on Bluemoon who said don’t invade the pitch after the qpr game do you regret saying it’?

I take the view of fuck what the club want and fuck what the players want, if the majority of fans want to invade the pitch in a moment of spontaneous passion then good on them. Football has been taken further enough away from the fans as it is, if the occasion warrants it then so be it.

Were you against a pitch invasion at qpr? Which was illegal as you’ve pointed out.

It's small time. Belongs to the day when we couldn't believe we won anything.
