Aren't we still on a suspended punishment for repeated pitch invasions

20 point deduction incoming for a pitch invasion to celebrate promotion!

We'll be starting next season below Sheffield Wednesday

What a set of bores you lot are

25 years of absolute pain and anguish extinguished at the final whistle of say the Pompey game. It will be delirium

Glad the other 29,900 aren't so tedious
Agree with the sentiment, but lots of season have been pretty good. First couple of years in the Championship were ok. First season in the Ricoh was good and the season with Armstrong, Kent, Murphy, Cole, Maddison etc in L1 was decent.

The last 10 years arguably my favourite time supporting the club with the exception of 87 & 98 seasons. Most of the prem years we were just trying to stay up.

We've had shite owners, been forced out of the ground on more than one occasion and missed a whole season with Covid, but for what we've had recently and the journey we've been on to now finally get back (when at times I didn't think I'd have a club to support), I'm not sure I'd change any of it.

Well anything's possible, Pep Guardiola got booked for celebrating a goal yesterday.

The game is becoming sterile. 🤔

Also worth noting that a pitch invasion should not get in the way of any potential trophy lift vs Wrexham

Is the trophy lift at Wrexham even if we’ve won it earlier? I can’t find much online but what I can find suggests it’s the final home game unless it’s not won by that point. Which would make it Wrexham even if we’ve won it the game before b

It would be Wrexham - Liverpool won the title with a few home games to spare last season but still lifted it against Palace on the final day

Presuming the EFL follows the same precedent of course

Maybe that Wembley VAR check?

Tbh I quite like the fact that everyone knows we we were cheated. That was our final, we'd most likely have lost to Man City and the nature of the comeback, the fact we got to dream for 2 minutes, seeing the entitled twatty United fans leaving and then trying to get back in, was good enough for me.

Only time I've been on the pitch was that Blackburn game where Julian Darby won Man Utd the title. Not sure why everyone piled on as I don't think the result did anything for us, just the last home game of the year maybe? I swiped some blades of grass and was shitting it that I'd get arrested.

IF we won the whole thing I'm absolutely here for the whole 9 yards of retro 80s celebration-
-Lap of honour to `Simply The Best',
-Enough fireworks for Chinese New Year,
-Players giving Lampard the bumps/doused in bubbly
-Open-top bus with players 10 pints deep, wearing the trophy lid etc.....

i seem to remember being on the pitch at highfield road after a blackburn game.
i think it was a night match(??). it was the year before they won the prem, and i think us beating them stopped them wining it that year. no idea why we were on the pitch. maybe it kept us up.

Yeah us winning killed off their title run.
Iirc near enough whole stadium singing glory glory man United to them when we went ahead

Been looking into this a bit, from what I can gather theres no one set rule. The EFL apparently aim to do it at the next home game if possible. There has been exceptions but that's the norm. What I can't work out was say we won it at Blackburn would they award it at the Portsmouth game midweek as it's the next game or would they wait for the weekend as it's a better spectacle for broadcast.
