Really. A lap of honour after the Wigan game no matter what. Even if we lose at wolves and to Wigan and Huddersfield have won on Friday. Would seem an odd decision in what would likely be a subdued atmosphere

Barber would have more success sitting on the beach trying to STOP the tide come in, there will be a wave of emotion that has been built up since 1983 and the pitch invasion will be UNSTOPPABLE

Oh come on - who gives a monkeys if we are abused on social media or look tinpot? Go on the pitch if you must but don't do it because of what others will say if you don't.

I would suspect 5 mins. is a little optimistic once the first wave had entered the hallowed turf.
Last time I invaded a pitch was in the 80's when Dunfermline Athletic was promoted from the Scottish 3rd Division. I'd be doing it again but I'm marooned in the WSU for the 2 last games as I didn't swap my ST seats quick enough. If anyone wants to swap their lower level seats for 2 great seats in the Middle of WSU let me know!!

I think those on the season ticket waiting list must be hoping there is a pitch invasion, and lots of current ST holders are banned for next season freeing up available seats.
I would just refer everyone to S4 Football Offences Act 1991
It is an offence for a person at a designated football match to go onto the playing area, or any area adjacent to the playing area to which spectators are not generally admitted, without lawful authority or lawful excuse (which shall be for him to prove).
You have been warned
You are also ruining the occasion for the players who rather than being able to celebrate at the final whistle have to rush off, and those that are caught by the mob have to struggle through to safety while having their kit ripped from them.

Yea because those really sound like Bruno and Chris's words 
Go and enjoy your time on the pitch, because who knows what the future holds... and you don't want to look back on this moment as the time you clapped from the stands as you do every week, while everyone else savoured it that much more.
I'm amongst the prawn sandwiches and i'll be on, just tell me what minute.

Of course people will go on the pitch. Was fun at Walsall and jealous that I'll be thousands of miles away, but maybe I'll find a nice park nearby to run around in in my shirt ^_^
It will be 10/15 mins max. Compared to footballers playing on it for 90 with studs on... Which is going to do the most damage to the pristine pitch? Ermmmm....
Oh wait, I forgot, I planned on planting my chrysanthemums by the North Stand penalty spot. Oh bollocks.

Let's make sure all the games have finished before any attempt.to run on the pitch. We don't want to do a "Reading" now that would as embarrassing as duck

Clueless. They're going to ban 5-10k (probably more) fans are they? Fans who have been supporting this club for 30 or more years and replace them with fans who will be gone in a flash at the first signs of relegation.

Why will the players and staff do a lap of honour no matter what after the Wigan game. This is not the last home game of the season and nothing may be decided by then,
Some People !!
No - but maybe a few of them will be unlucky enough to be nabbed by a steward or captured on CCTV (or in HD by Sky)?

Can I get on the pitch at about 78 minutes please, then I can still beat the queues and make the train I must catch so that I can get home before tea time Wednesday .. I have a long round trip you know..
Sorry, I must have missed something - have we already been promoted?
The annual end of season pitch invasion at the Goldstone was the one thing I looked forward to most when I was his age!
We had this whole discussion before the pitch invasions at Withdean and exactly the same will happen again.
1. Club issues statement saying please keep off the pitch.
2. At the game, the PA announcer asks that people keep off the pitch or there will be no player's lap of honour.
3. Pitch invasion happens for about 5-10 minutes. All good spirited.
4. Everyone clears off the pitch and the players come out for their lap of honour.
5. Everyone goes home happy.
Don't see the need for such a big debate?
