Royal Lady tink Sir Rodger Doyle Anyone who runs on the pitch on Sunday has no respect for RFC. The groundstaff have worked their bollox off to give the team the best possible surface to play on. There is the possibility of a play-off match plus the usual end of season finals to be played. Please don't run onto the pitch, it always leads to some tw*ts goading the away fans who may have the real hump with us.
Fines.........
Points deductions............
violence...........
I don't see what there is to be gained from it, apart from some internal selfish need for attention.
I can't really see any sanctions being taken against the club if there was a mass pitch invasions, unless it resulted in serious dis-order between the fans. Wolves fans invaded the pitch after they got promoted against qpr and no-one is talking about stripping them of the title, or deducting points.
If 20,000 reading fans invaded the pitch i can't see everyone being given 5 year banning orders and having their member cards taken off them.
Something might have been said if QPR still had a play off game to play.
I seriously doubt 20,000 fans will invade the pitch - it will be the usual teenage @rse holes who think they're clever and hard and will run like the wind if a policeman on a horse, or an opposition fan comes anywhere near them.
I suspect that the type of result will dictate how any pitch invasion would be received.
If Brum go up and invade the pitch, i don't think it will go down too well (like when wolves invaded barnsley''s pitch upon being crowned champions). however, i think only the a*sehole kids will go running on before getting scared. everyone else will go home looking forward to the play offs.
If Reading go up, with a clear margin of victory (i.e. winning by a good few goals) then brum will probably have gone home already and the pitch invasion will be uncontested (like versus derby a few years ago)
If it's a close game settled by a last minute go, i think it could be hostile
