I don't think there is an issue with coming onto the pitch to celebrate but cringe how all the fans pile onto the players patting them on the head, it can't be comfortable or enjoyable. Shake players hands pat them on the back but don't jump all over them and jostle them with a mobile phone in your hand. Wish people had more self control overall.

On the football front who are people supporting? Part of me want Forest as they would be harder opponents next season but Hudderdield brought very few fans and Forest depending on dates and league positions is one if those games that could be 25k +

Forest for me. Really rate Steve Cooper as a manager, they've been out of it for a while and further proves parachute payments aren't everything

Nothing against Huddersfield mind, they've had a great season but I'd like to see a traditional top flight club have a go

Got to be one of the worst things I’ve seen on a pitch. What kind of absolute fucking moron does that in a moment of such joy? Will be waking up today knowing a prison sentence is coming. Incident about 50 seconds in below:

I know it's nuts. Should be a moment of elation and joy and big smiles all-round.

Idiot. And he will get his just desserts. No way they are not identifying him.

Maybe I am a killjoy but these pitch invasions are going to go horribly wrong. Isn't it illegal? Imagine if they all were banned. Forest would have an empty stadium next season. I cannot understand why parents would take their kids on the pitch.
Click to expand...


I've been on 3 times

Last game at HR, Wycombe semi in JPT, After Morecambe in L2 securing first top 6 finish in eleventy billion years

And I took the kids on (2 of them)

I don't think it makes me a prick or a bad parent, it was a moment of celebration, joy, an outpouring of emotion for people who want to celebrate with the people who have gave them that feeling. I managed not to whack anyone or goad opposition players or fans, its not hard, just unfortunately there are dickheads in every fanbase

I agree through a season it shouldn't take place and the pricks who have encroached at the CBS this year deserve their bans, but I feel if people start slating pitch invasions when success comes, I think football loses part of its soul.

Imagine we got to the prem. The CBS will have every single cov fan in the place on the pitch in seconds

They may not be receiving parachute money, but they have made losses of approximately £100m over the last 3 years and furthermore are spending £202 on players wages for every £100 of income. How they are not breaching FFP I’ll never know, but if they stay down they could be the next team to be in trouble.

You know what, I hope the football meant the world to that c**t who headbutted Billy Sharp. I hope he’s been all his life and loved it. And now it’s taken away from him, with a side order of prison sentence.

Have to say it’s actually quite nice to see the teams who finished 3rd and 4th in the league contest the play off final and not see some side who finished 10 points behind or whatever sneak in through the playoffs.

Agreed. Although I do like the playoffs in Germany, Scotland(?) et al where they have the 3rd placed team playing 3rd from bottom side in the division above.

Huddersfield have triple the number of league titles that Forest have, as traditional top flight clubs go, they're up there!

outpouring of emotion? No it’s called breaking the by laws and yes to do it with your kids is bad parenting. Soul? when that idiot struck Sharp last night was he evoking footballs soul?

Running on the pitch in celebration is not the same thing as assaulting a footballer

I think your time living in that authoritarian hellhole has distorted your view

Would you run on if we got to the play offs or is it reserved for the semi final?

One of the things we missed out on massively winning the league during the promotion season was not being able to have a proper celebratory pitch invasion

Exactly like we did.

I get the play offs add ‘excitement’ and make money but not sure they’re always the fairest way.

I get the point but feel it would just lead to further entrenchment at the top, so it’s a no from me.

Going up from the Championship this season = parachute payment team (top), parachute payment team (2nd), non parachute payment team v parachute payment team for play off. Shows what everybody is up against in this league, and will almost certainly be the same next season. Needs changing.

The league would be fucking boring without playoffs.

If it was top 3 up and bottom3 down basically half the league would have nothing to play for come Jan/Feb

It's really weird mate

Proper retribution is a prison sentence which is going to get unlike if this had happened on the street.

the "lock him up with sheffield fans2 really cringe

Best solution is what has been suggested before.

So, top 6.

6th plays 5th.

Winner of that then plays 4th

Winner of that then plays 3rd.

If you finish 5th or 6th you would have to get through 3 games. For 4th it would be 2 matches and for 3rd, just the one.

Would definitely add to the excitement, because it wouldn't then be just about getting into the top 6, it would be a quest to get to a specific placing, i.e. to 3rd or 4th especially.
