Will have to see if they ramp up the stewarding, people will be on the pitch either way though.
Or drawing 0-0 at home to Morecombe...Granted it is celebrating winning but it's still stupid.
I'm going to punch someone for a seat set of a smoke bomb and get on the pitch all before the game kicks off.
The thing that puzzles me most about the whole situation is, it's all pre-meditated, which means you can't even use the excuse of 'Got lost in the heat of the moment'. If it was an FA Cup final and emotions were running that high, fair enough. But I've seen it at MK Dons, Notts County & Cheltenham, and to be honest it's absolutely embarrassing. People are getting on the pitch over us scoring against (no offence meant apart from to MK) much smaller teams. Imagine what it would be like if we played United or Liverpool. It makes us look like a non-league team.You need to get yourself a dodgy sun burn and have your top off for that.
I know it's harsh, but still think there should be a no mans land between the stand and the pitch. You go on there and you are doing it at your own risk and waive any rights to damages etc when you get shot.

I see it slightly differently to the tennis balls. The tennis balls was a protest. Whether you agree with the protest reason, or agree with its effectiveness is an entirely different matter, but there was a reason behind trying to disrupt the game. Getting on the pitch when we've gone 0-1 up against a team that didn't exist 12 years ago is a whole new matter. I wholeheartedly agree though, ban every single one of them that gets on the pitch mid-game for a lengthy spell and it won't happen.It's because they get away with it, the same as they got away with things like tennis balls etc.
No idea why people feel the need to do it, it looks like its for kudos and social media backpats to look cool. Some of them on Saturday could barely make it over the ad boards.1 goes on, then his mates follow, then more go on etc.
It would be interesting to see if they tried it at Wembley where there will be high alert and security.
I'm talking about the minority of course. High octane occasion, loads at stake. Biggest game for God knows how long.
I've been away from home a few times this season. I know what I think.

That's it, once on the pitch they're normally just ushered back into the stands. Man handle them 6 to 1 straight to the back of a meat wagon, a night at her majesties pleasure, £1k fine and a 4 year ban should put the rest off! After the last guy that threw blue smoke at Notts County got 28 days custodial, will it deter others? Or are they all too stupid to care?I see it slightly differently to the tennis balls.

It'll be fine. It'll be a different following there than the league game, less about a day on the lash, more about the game. Stewards/police will be all over it. It's part of why they close the bottom 3 rows for play off games. Not worth worrying about.
You might equally ask if Notts fans will behave at the Ricoh. They caused a bit of grief on the opening day.
2 per STH I don’t think it’ll be too bad as most STH seem to be decent folk now a days either older or kids.
Likes of MK was 6 per STH and made general sale so all sorts went.
Forest Green, in the pissing rain for 90 mins, was enough to piss off the most mild mannered man!I wouldn’t be so sure...Forest Green? Cheltenham was lively and I can name more
I only went on the HR pitch when a steward said "Do you want to go on the pitch - no problem". Mind you.I only have Irish restraint!I didn’t even go on the pitch after our last game at HR. Bit of misty eyed clapping was all that was needed.
What happened to some good old British restraint?
Players included!Cant understand why clubs dont just dig an 8' trench between the stands and the touchline leaving enough space for throw ins and corners.
Anyone trying to get on the pitch and falling in should be left there until the ground is empty
So because there was a protest to show that people were not happy with the ownership people were after a pat on the back? Not me sir I can assure you.I don't think it is too different to be fair, I watched the tennis ball one and it was mostly the same sort of people and they were loving it. It's all about people following other people, now there isn't backpats for things like tennis balls it's all about being the one on the pitch and being the hero with the smoke bomb.
dont need space for our throw ins and corners becaus they are so shite we should just give the ball to the oppositionCant understand why clubs dont just dig an 8' trench between the stands and the touchline leaving enough space for throw ins and corners.

Forest Green I knew would be raised.
But wasn’t Cheltenham a fair few per ST?
I think Notts will be a lot of the ‘hardcore supporters’ that don’t necessarily go away.
