It really is embarrasing. We didn’t even invade the pitch when we won the Anchor cup.

Dear,dearThrowing bottles is definitely not on.
That said, I'm secretly quite pleased at the pitch invasions, smoke bombs etc. - the fanatical streak that's developed over the years is much better than the apathy and away followings of 300 I've seen at some times in the past. The tour around the lower divisions has by no means been all bad as character-building exercise, and it's hopefully helping to get rid of the entitled whiners that are occasionally too numerous in the stands.
Away games are great - I love them!

Just fill it with boiling oil and not have to worry at the next gameI still think there should be an area between fans and the pitch where anything goes. If they enter that, they can be tasered or shot with rubber bullets.
Like the Hunger games

But they wouldn't be with regular army service.Not sure the Army would agree with the National Service thing. They don't want a bunch of hooligans in their ranks anymore than we want them in our stadium!
Utterly cringeworthyNo stranger to the odd pitch invasion myself back in my younger days, but such hysteria in the 1st round of the FA cup? Half way through the 2nd half? Against Walsall?
Twats.
they probably will do and increase security at our expenseI just hope they dont limit the ticket allocation for the league match because of this.
Agree 100%.And that to me is exactly the issue.
A lot of us lived through the eighties where the dickheads almost ruined the game and then the fences went up. We know how that ended.
There's no excuse for going on the pitch like this. None.
There's a significant minority of coked/pissed up arseholes following the club who are starting to make it miserable for the rest of us who actually want to watch the game and maybe drink a beer or two without being soaked in it.
So this kind of crap behaviour shouldn't be encouraged by anyone.
I'd hope that the arseholes involved in the latest instalment are all picked up and get substantial banning orders.
Agree 100%.
Anyone starting their post with "I don't mind the occasional".....fuck off. Making excuses for it is part of the problem. So embarrassing to be jumping on the pitch after an equaliser against fucking Walsall in the 1st round.
There appeared to be a lot of ar*eholes (15/16 year olds who had got hold of some beer) around Saturday and agree that the celebration was just over the top and pathetic.
The best part of the day was about 15 minutes after the "pitch invasion" a young tw*t who had disappeared came hobbling back to his seat.
He claimed to have been dragged onto(!) the pitch by a steward by his leg and twisted his knee. He then went to the medic room who had clearly weighed him up pretty quick so cut his jeans off at the knee of 1 leg. He came back saying he had been on gas and air and was suing the steward... hilarious hearing him whinging about his favourite jeans
Maybe just a case of playing up in front of his mates then... we did find it amusing though!!! Never known a steward to drag somebody onto the pitch before ha!I know him! He's a sound young lad but like the rest of them can be silly when he's with his mates. I will be having a word/taking the piss when I see him.
I have heard that he has hurt his leg quite badly, maybe that will make him think twice before acting the arse next time, (though I won't hold my breath).
It is absolutely crazy. At a football stadium if someone stood up to someone for being racist/abusive, that person is likely to be subject to ridiculously over the top aggression and possible violence over 'doing the right thing' I mentioned either in here or another thread about a guy who told a bloke to stop smoking in the toilets because a) it was a non-smoking stadium and b) because there were young lads in there. All he did was get threats of violence in return. Absolute madness.I saw a lad run on the pitch after the first goal and get dragged off by Stewards. What I don't get is why all of the other city fans run over and start kicking off with the stewards and calling them wankers saying he is just a kid.
If he was just a kid, where is his parent if he isn't old enough to make his own decisions.
Like it or not, he ran onto the pitch so he was taken off.
It’s absolutely embarrassing.
Age is in no way an excuse, how will ‘experience’ help. Invading the pitch is clearly not allowed, whether you’re 15 at your first away game or 65 and been going to away games for 50 years.
I class myself as a loyal and committed fan, yet I’m put off by certain away games. While the atmosphere is fantastic to be part of, as soon as one idiot starts, loads seem to follow. Including hostility amongst our own fans. It’s literally mental. If it occasionally puts me off, it’s unlikely the casual fan will be interested.
I appreciate away days are a different experience, but we rarely get that sort of trouble at home. Is that because the objective of the majority of fans at home games is to watch the game, not get coked up and kick off with anyone on sight?
I wouldn't fancy taking a kid to an away game. It's a shame really.
You could run a lot faster then ?!Completely agree. Not bothered if people call me boring etc, but there's more and more idiots at away games to spoil it for me. I loved going away in the 80s/90s but not nowadays. Maybe it's just an age thing.
I'll stick to home games, wherever they may be in the future.

Hopefully nothing too bad to the knee but like you say, might keep him in his seat in future!
