A pitch invasion for promotion is standard, but I cannot believe someone has emailed Paul Barber to ask about it. Can't believe he took the time to respond either. Honestly what response did anyone expect to get apart from the official line/FA regulations spiel?
I can only imagine when he saw that email come through he called over the nearest person and said 'is this a fekin wind up or what?'

My guess is that some sort of a pitch invasion is inevitable. It will be the preferred first option for a few thousand (about 10% of those inside The Amex) and good luck to them. It will not, however, be sanctioned by the club and they will not allow fans from WSU and ESU to join in the first wave.
Two scenarios that follow are:
1. The rest of the lower tiers (other than the 10% massively up for it) have stayed in their seats and then we all wait for the pitch to be cleared so the lap of honour etc can take place as planned. All OK.
2. Enough others in the lower bowl have joined in and made it impossible to clear the pitch. Not OK. Will an angry mob descend from WSU demanding entry at the NS and WSL gates...?

couldn't agree more of course Barber is going to say its against the law etc etc ...everyone will pile on at the end then be back off again within 10minutes to welcome our hero's back on to the pitch again. Lets hope our dream comes true a week today

I reckon the biggest opposition to this are the patrons of the upper tiers !
The green eyed monster. I thought the same.
If I was Barber I'd turn on the pitch watering system 30 seconds after the final whistle.

Think again. I am WSU and I'm not against it at all. Little bit gutted I don't have much chance of taking part but looking forward to getting the best view of it.

20 years since I was on the pitch digging up abit of the turf.
Would like to think I could go back on, if only briefly, to complete the story.
