Reading fans planning their pitch invasion when they win on Saturday

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Why would you pitch invade for making the playoffs? I really cant understand that, its not like you are going up or even making the final, you are simply in the mix. pitch invasions for a top 6 finish. TINPOT.

I don't know during during there rough patch it looked like they might fall completely out of it so I would feel quite a lot of jubilation if I was them.

I've got more a problem with Ipswich fans singing about getting promoted when they beat us without about 15 games to go.

I assume they renamed the team so it would fit on the screen.

Cant see your video! but I assume it's an example of when we have done it? assuming Swindon? although we did make the final! and I was on the pitch.

So you hated this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UQtHi5beGg

The part with the fans running on the pitch during a game - yes, damn right.

Hate pitch invasions, simply hate them. Seeing a load of idiots jumping around on the pitch feels me with a kind of dread. Perhaps it's irrational on my part, but I hate the sight of them.

Get off the ****ing pitch!!!

Really? It's just a few people and a bit of grass.

Ipswich, 1991. Wilkins curler, last minute. Half the north stand emptied onto the pitch when it went it.

I hope they enjoy their pitch invasion for finishing 5th or 6th.

Nothing like celebrating a job half done.

It's the Ipswich game, 1991. Wilkins freekick in the dying moments..

Fair enough, I was 4 then, before my time.

Sorry but disagree. I love a good pitch invasion, especially after a cup win and I've nothing but kudos for the Brighton fan after the Man City game who was doing doughnuts in the centre circle with his wheelchair. That's the stuff of dreams, the stuff of champions.

Pitch invasion you say? Wheelchair you say?

Any excuse to 'wheel' out this classic

Just always been incredibly small town tinpot to my mind - I said it was irrational. I don't remember seeing Liverpool being crowned Champions amidst pitch invasions when I was younger, it was the preserve of clubs winning the 4th division, or like Hereford in the FA Cup. I sort of cringe at the sight of them. I'd rather leave the playing surface to the players.

I remember standing down the front of the North Stand at the Goldstone in the early 90s, next to one of the gates, and loads of people would pile onto the pitch every time we scored a goal. I think the gates were kept shut with cable ties or something - certainly didn't take much to get through.

Nothing better than a pitch invasion in my book, love them. QUite difficult to achieve at the AMEX though from one tier up!

Tend to be better when they are spontanious like v Man City. Don't recall there being any threads planning ahead for that one

Love a pitch invasion but not for making the play offs.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

You'd surely feel a little foolish if you invaded the pitch on a Saturday to celebrate, and just 8 days later had been knocked out of the playoffs

Get off the ****ing pitch!!!

Especially as clubs spend thousands and thousands getting them just right and then 20,000 idiots dance all over it (oh no that's the 13th of June)

If they lose!
Back up plan by chasing each other round their local dog track

 

[beorhthelm]

good, nice bit of pressure and expectation building up then.

The ideal scenario is Reading fans invading the pitch after their draw with Burnley only to find out we have scored a last gasp injury time winner as they start celebrating thinking we've blown it.
