Think that is fair enough.
Interesting the last bit re observations .. Do you think they will mention stewards helping fans over the barriers

Fair enough - we had our fun, now let the players have theirs

Hopefully watching Bruno and the boys lift that cup, will be more than enough for me.
"Albion have been asked by the FA for their observations following the pitch invasion following victory over Wigan Athletic, including preventative measures taken by the club to avoid such an occurrence."
"Well, guv, we issued a press release asking them to stay off, we tweeted about it, we put it in our programme notes, we issued a request over the PA just before the FT whistle, we hired extra stewards, we tracked social media...what more could we reasonably do? When the crowds decided to invade, for 'elf & safety reasons we told the stewards to not rugby tackle the first few - that's reasonable enough, I'm sure you'd agree".
They always knew it was was going to happen, it was all CYA in preparation for the inevitable FA questions.
This time - there's no need for an invasion. It would be good for us to see, and the players to enjoy, the lap of honour so richly deserved, hopefully with a cup in tow.

Would be more than a bit crap if the players and management couldn't do their traditional end of season lap of the pitch with their families, not to mention the small matter of (hopefully) being presented with the Championship championes trophy. Time to praise them like we should and maybe keep off the grass.

Looking forward to seeing the trophy lifted by Bruno on the pitch this time
No need for another pitch invasion, great last Monday but not this time

It's all very well you people that got on the pitch saying "we've had our fun" but what about those of us that couldn't get to the Wigan match?
I'll give the pitch a miss anyway. I'm in N2A so getting onto the pitch could involve breaking my legs/back/neck.

Funny to think that 13 years on from Cardiff Bristol City and their followers will be looking on again as we lift silverware(probably). Still have good memories of the former. A decent weekend in Bristol before and after. Hope those going on Saturday get to see a better match though

Up the Albion!
Be really good if there's a full house to cheer the players on their lap of honour after such a a fantastic season.

No need for a pitch invasion if we do win on Saturday. But it will happen I'm sure.
I can't make the victory parade - I think they should hold one every weekend out of season until everyone that wants to go has had a chance to do so.
You guys. Read my second sentence to see that I'm not being entirely serious about this. I'll be perfectly happy to keep off the pitch and watch a spot of trophy lifting.
