FAO Pitch Invading twats

[MouldyRoyal]

Certainly how it seemed over my direction. Everyone knew Brighton were winning as our final whistle went, then this wave of "news" that Forest had equalised spread round the stand somehow. People didn't seem sure (quite a bit of shrugging from my direction I will have you know) but some took it upon themselves to vault the barriers in belief of this rumour.

Terrible scenes all round.

[Green]

When we were at Elm Park, results didn't matter. You went on the pitch after the last game of the season, end of.

Yeh yeh the game's moved on you'll tell me, but I for one quite like it. You did it after cricket matches and that seems to work ok (even allowed on at half time).

[P!ssed Off]

The mascot and some c**ts in the lower west started shouting out that Forest had equalised, a couple of people believed them and starting pushing on, some had to get on the pitch to avoid a crush at the bottom of the stand and others just assumed that the people on the pitch were right. Others wanted a go at the Burnley fans, but the stewards were pretty hands on with those guys (only pushing but they were proper shoving the guys out the way, almost knocked a couple over and these weren't small lads).

Taken from another forum so may not be 100% in context but that's what happened.

No that's not what happened.

The commotion did come from the Lower West, G8 as it happens. The culprit being only a few seats away from me.
People started celebrating nearby, including many of the Youth teamers who are situated in G7.
Many in the East stand and others around the ground obviously saw the celebrations and started celebrating themselves.

But there was no crush at the bottom of the West Stand whatsoever, that is nonsense. And it was those in the East stand that started a pitch invasion.

This.

[Green]

And to clarify - was any damage done by these so called twats, or was it just some lads enjoying an age old, good natured end of season ritual?

Heaven forbid someone try and enjoy themselves at the Mad Stad.

As I said, out of context slightly, everything I said was from the East, where I was and pretty much everyone I know who goes was (obviously apart from what I stated was the Lower West). I certainly had a couple of mates who were getting crushed at the bottom of Y25/26 and had to jump on.

The fact they no longer allow it at cricket matches is a travesty.

Oh, fair. My mistake.

Fcuking right they deserve it. The most embarrassing thing I've ever seen since supporting Reading full stop. I would wager that nothing else will ever top it TBH.

On the positive side, it probably won't ever happen again.

Rumblesticks were more embarrassing. "Bring it on" was more embarrassing. That Arsenal league cup game was more embarrassing. The "Judus" placards were much more embarrassing.

So a few people are making a few jokes at our expense and taking the piss, it's really no big deal. It will all be forgotten about in a week if we just let ourselves be part of the fun and not get too prissy about it.

+1

Having been at work today I take this +1 back

It has been very embarrassing indeed

I work with fans of Derby, Peterborough, Northampton, Watford and even Liverpool and they were laughing their socks off, or something like that

I don't think East stand fans were aware of West stand goings on
I heard many people around me saying that Forest had equalised (presumably having picked up something on their phones from five live or Sky, as referred to earlier in the thread)
This spread around the stand and a wave of people started moving down towards the pitch, ready for invasion.

I waited for the big screen, the disappointment and the embarrassment!

Even more annoying with the likes of Jobi, Kaspars & Ledge now gone. They deserved a decent round of applause from the crowd & all the knobheads prevented that.

Bollox and typical revisionist crap. East stand led the pitch invasion.
Most of east stand AWOL for the lap of honour. But hey let's pretend and only ever see photos of east stand y22-y26 support on twatter and fvckbook cos they're Real fans even though you don't see many at away games further than 30 miles away and you could see them streaming out at 90 minutes on Saturday. So let's get excited about Brentford and Leyton cos they'll be home for tea and biccies and Dr Who . Fux sake.

lol - don't really get your point but an amusing rant of post, good work.

[wally bassoon]

As my 7 year old daughter put it as we watched the the north stand, "I bet they feel like twits now daddy"

[genome]

oxf*rd hell, people are still caring about this?

Have you bigger fish to fry then genome?

It's the closed season, bit early to be call time on this issue surely.

[genome]

I don't really like fish.

Nothing we can do about it, so why worry or pick the bones out of what happened We move on.

I found it funny more than anything.

Could always talk about the women's side! [serious suggestion]

In for East Stand abuse - They can stick their windmill up their arses too.

We're the West side, We're the West side, We're the West side of the ground
