Thunder Bolt · Mar 11, 2019

Apparently, it happened during the rugby match at the Amex, too, so it's not all those pesky football fans.

That was probably some hooray Henry trying to see if any of the players had a cork screw and an olive pick he could borrow.

Long time til the next home game. Doubt he'll be able to bite his tongue til his next set of Programme Notes. Expect a stern email sometime soon from the Eternally Disappointed Headmaster.

Your PB knocking is both boring and tiresome. Have you ever met the man and if so were you as brave face to face?

.. instead hire professional fans to fill the seats in the same way clubs like Arsenal have those flag wavers for when they score?

As an aside, is there ANYTHING (excluding all PaLLace nonsense of course) more tinpot than those bloody flag wavers. Makes me cringe every time they score.

Chuba Akpom invaded the Amex pitch ran around a bit and went off, I remember he had a full kit on including boots

You’re mistaking him for Leon Best. Akpom left the field to silence, Best left to resounding boos - the traditional exit reserved for invaders [take note Birmingham City].

I think it happened twice in the first season at the AMEX, One against Liverpool as mentioned, I cant remember the other, both times they got boo'd and come off the the chant W****r W****r.

Time to ban all fans from stadiums I imagine.

That would stop anyone with nefarious plans.

Surely they only need to ban fans from the lower tiers? Unless those in the upper tiers bring ropes there's little risk.

There's no 'bravery' involved. Just find PB's posturing/lecturing absurd, not to mention a bit of an insult to the fanbase who were here long before PB's arrival and who will be here long after he's gone :wave:

You talk about the fan base as if it’s a fixed body that fought the war years and enjoy all types of what gets termed “banter” - you know, bottle throwing, standing in seating areas, running on the pitch, abusing players, swearing. Yes a lot of us were there but I would hazard a guess that over 75% of Amex STH never had one previously.

Ok, he has to keep the fans on board, but he also has to think of the corporate side of the club that like it or not generates most money.

You don’t like him, do you?

So that makes it ok for PB to constantly hector and lecture the 99.8% of folks who have no agenda other than to go and watch a game of football?

...... and you'd have to be a bit of a dick to think it would be necessary to lecture 30,000 Albion fans about not doing it. Here's hoping for an absence of dick-wittery from certain quarters in the next couple of weeks.

I would be astonished if every CEO of every football club didn’t comment on this weekend’s events in their next programme notes.

You call it “hector and lecture”, I don’t

Email to come by the middle of the week, notifying all that seating will be strictly enforced as it is easier to spot any potential pitch invader if everyone else is sitting down. Anyone standing while the game is in in progress will be viewed as a potential pitch invader and will be immediately ejected from the stadium (for life).

For those that have weak bladders, like to go to the concourse ahead of half time or to leave early, they will need to purchase (on a per game basis) colour coded permission slips.

Match Cat C £5 per voucher
Match Cat B £7.50 per voucher
Match Cat A £10 per voucher

In addition later arrivals either at the start of the match or returning form half time will not be permitted to take up their seats but will have to remain on the concourse

Careful what you wish for!

I notice that Chelsea have now decided to copy them. FFS all we need now is for Man City to start with goal music.

There's more than one way of commenting. A brief friendly reminder in the programme notes is one thing..................................
