Same here. I went for a wander round the Saltergate pitch AFTER the last game. I'd never do so during a game. The people who did will need to deal with the consequences.

For cods sake that's ok then!

yes, there is a difference between running on the pitch mid game and walking on after the players have cleared after a game to get a closer view of end of season formalities

The playing area is the playing area ...before,during and after a game...that's why i feel both some supporters and the club are guilty of double standards,of course the guy who 'punched' their goalie should and rightly be punished,his acts were vile but why wasn't there a witch hunt for fans who went on the pitch after the Bournemouth game,Luton game,West Ham game,Notts Forest game,Wrexham game i could go on.....i feel a line as to be drawn in the sand.From this date on anyone found on the playing area can expect fine,ban,whatever.

[rab]

you're on the pitch therefore committing an offence but you waited till!!!! No excuse you're guilty,and haddocking a laugh,seriously the kid is not Jon Venables !!,he made a stupid mistake, no one died get a grip and I don't know him,but people on here do you know what you're kids are doing 24/7 like going to Church . Helping the aged etc.

It's the complete dissapointment of the whole unsavoury incident - our club have been headliners all season for the right reasons and received glowing testimonials from the good and great. I'm just gutted for all the hard work that everyone has contributed so far for it to be thrown away by one bloomin act of utter stupidity.

I'd like penny for his thoughts on this and that of his parents - are they spireites as well. Remember the lad who peed on the war memorial in Sheffield, that one stupid act was life changing for him.

If someone is judging the whole club for this moron's actions then their opinion should not be taken seriously.

again Dave
Point well made,for christs sake he's 13 apparently he's got a lot of flak coming his way but he's a juvenile who's going to have to learn ,he did wrong but he will learn hopefully

[Andy]

Never have, and from a very young age I was taught there would be consequences to my actions, this should be no different to others. Certainly by about 5 I would have known to hit someone was wrong, and the tannoy announcements informed the uninformed at the match that going on the pitch was wrong at any age. People still did it, so should accept the consequences of their actions.

[60s 70s Spireite]

Any invasion spolis it for the vast majority who stay in their place. Imagine the FA Cup Winners unable to run around the pitch with the Cup because of an invasion.

Wouldn't it be great to have say 20 mins of the players going to each corner of the ground after the Gillingahm match - without kids and those sightly worse for wear trooping around with them. Yes we all want to pat the players on the back - but clearly 8000 can't do that- so why should a few hundred have the privilege?

[CFC_SJL]

Must admit, i did at the end of the Luton game, never during tho

it could and will be argued that the club is ultimately responsible for crowd control and in this instance they failed. it will be the club who get the fine, not the individual... but yes it stinks. we need barriers because there will always be one dic head that will be determined to run onto the pitch at some point and unfortunately , like sheep, alot of other brain deads will follow

Nope never done one, why would you ????

[deano-cfc]

Never done one, don't consider myself holier than thou !! what I can remember is when we beat Bury at Wembley and the FA cup semi at Old Trafford there was no pitch invasion and the players were able to take there deserved applause safely by everyone and not just the ones who get over excited.
Don't get me wrong I don't beleive there should be a witch hunt for people who went on the pitch and didn't show any threatening behaviour, after all Bury fans would have to face the same witch hunt. I agree its time to draw a line under it with clear guidelines for future matches and lets get back to talkinG about FOOTIE !!
