m williamson Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Out of interest did Wednesday do the same as United and appeal to the crowd over the loudspeakers before the match kicked off asking them to keep off the pitch? In Uniteds case of course the memory of the mayhem at Forest last season served as a warning as to how this nonsense can turn out. United also employed a lot of stewards around the pitch. Imagine how much this situation is costing clubs, all because a minority can't behave themselves. Every club has got them but it does need dealing with.

True. SUFC have hugely increased steward numbers for key games this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say they introduced the fencing again at Hillsborough, there was a crushing incident and one of the victims was a friend of yours I doubt you'd be like "well at least fans didn't get on the pitch so all's good", would you? I'm not condoning going on the pitch and if any of those on there at the end got charged for entering the playing surface then I'd have no sympathy but there are other things that happen at grounds like racist chants, coin throwing etc that I'm more concerned about clubs getting on top of.

Alextopman Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) The Forest fans did a fund raiser for charity on behalf of Billy Sharp. Maybe owls fans could do the same on behalf of the Linesman to show they're not all idiots. Let's hope they read this post and show a bit of humility which someone said before is lacking there. You heard it here first now go for it . Edited May 20, 2023 by Alextopman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaLazarou Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Sat in the pub watching Forest. Amazing result. Secured Premier League survival. Joyous celebrations. And not a single fan on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont need a fence.... Why would you? We didnt need a fence at the lane... we simply followed the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
