Back row of East Upper.
Rope ladder may look a bit obvious.
Blue/White toilet rolls twisted together maybe.
Or walk out and go back in to the East Lower AND ON TO THE PITCH.
I've waited too long.

I remember 1991. Dean Wilkins fabulous free kick in stoppage time to send Brighton to the playoffs. I was among of a lot of fans who were on the pitch then. The players had to come of the pitch, and the game wasn't even finished. Must have been 10 minutes for the final 1 minute to be played.
Great memories. Political correctness gone mad with this statement.

Yet a very similar statement would've been made in the Argus prior to that game which I also attended. These statements and there wording aren't a new thing
2. PA announcer practically in tears begging people to get off the pitch, wasn't it ?

I couldn't manage more than one page of comments. There WILL be a pitch invasion, I could almost guarantee that. Personally I think it's a bit dumb and pointless, but there we are.
The club has done all it can to try and prevent it, but it's merely paying lip service and will fall on deaf ears of those who have too much 'emotion' in them and who aren't happy just celebrating in their seats.
At least the queues for the trains won't be too bad if a load of fans are on the turf

This........
.....and this.
Good natured invasion of the pitch after the final whistle, don't damage done to the pitch or anything else. Give it 5-10 minutes, then make an equally good natured announcement over the PA, 'OK. you've had your fun, now please clear the pitch for the players to do their lap of honour'. Pitch will be cleared in 2 or 3 minutes maximum.
No problem. For anybody.

You'll still get the early leavers who apparently "always leave early, no matter what"..

Health and safety mate. What if somebody trips over a wayward blade of grass and causes mayhem.
depending on the timing of results etc... the EFL and Sky will want their podiums, presentations, photo ops, confetti cannons etc...

strong and stable with me, or...
It isn't dull, it is what a set of supporters with class and respect would do. The players have earned their right for their playing area not to be invaded by a load fans wanting to bathe in the reflected glory of what they've achieved - and that is all it is. Always looks pathetic with a load of loons jumping around then realising there is bugger all to do, and no one else can enjoy the moment. The supporters that do this have to my mind never played any competitive sport in their lives, because if they did, they would be able to show the respect actual sportsman who have achieved something deserve.
I hope they turn the bloody sprinklers on if anyone does run on.
ON THE PITCH ON THE PITCH ON THE PITCH.
Same as every Brighton promotion, ever. We've even done it at away grounds when we've gone up, so good luck keeping people off the pitch at the Amex.
It's a shame it's impossible for the club to say something like "we really need you to stay off the pitch if we get promoted at the Wigan game because we have another game to play, but we will have a more relaxed attitude after the Bristol game as that's the last game". People would listen to that.

Probably taken care of by Barber's message and the forlorn 'Keep off the grass' message on the PA, and on the screens.
When you jobsworth stewards you mean those following instructions so they keep their jobs ? More than a little harsh !

You're criticising quite a varied demographic of albion fans with that, not to mention it is complete bollocks and I disagree entirely with it.
It's a celebration, and all in good spirits. I doubt it will be very long before everyone 'respectfully' moves back to their seats with absolutely zero damage done to the pitch and nobody harmed.

No, the ones who follow the rulebook to the extent that they disregard common sense. It's kind of what the word means.
Even if you discount the many promotions, this will the 2nd time in my lifetime that the team will have been promoted to the top division. So once in a lifetime is best left to Talking Heads rather than trying to justify your decision.
