Barrow manager

[Campsall rover]

Some people on here need to get a grip, I'm not condoning fans on the pitch but it's not the 1st time and won't be the last.  It wasn't just as some call them young f£#chits on the pitch it was adults with kids also, caught up in the emotion of the moment. There was NO assault on their keeper, no player was assaulted and yes I know its illegal but its not the crime of the century so for some people to call for public flogging and banning orders is a bit OTT. And before anyone one says I'm the one out of touch I'm a 56yr old been watching the Rovers since 81 so I've seen plenty of pitch invasions some in celebration and back in the day some not so nice ones. Will be at Gillingham nxt week cheering the boys on to the playoffs

you wouldn’t be saying that if we got docked points!! They’re f**king arseholes. End of.

I agree Cramby
The fact that some of those idiots were “Adults” makes it worse. If Adults can’t do as they are asked and stay off the pitch then we have little chance of seeing the younger generation doing likewise.

What is it about “DO NOT GO ON TO THE PLAYING AREA” that people don’t get.
If they really care about DRFC they would not behave in a way that puts the club at risk of a heavy fine and or being deducted points.
The fact is it is a Criminal Offence to encroach the playing area. END OF

I can go with things if it's a spontaneous outburst of joy however, with many of those who ran on the pitch, it was premeditated, with their camera phones at the ready! They were ready to do anything to get past the stewards to gain their moment of notoriety. These are the ones who knew exactly what they were doing and knew the consequences so why disappoint them, give them the ban they deserve.

Have a look at the videos Camps it wasn't some, it was most

[ravenrover]

Who remembers Peter Schmeical removing a pitch invader back in the 90's. Did he get any action taken against him?

[Nudga]

I don't know what they get out of it because once you're on the pitch it becomes a playground game of British Bulldogs and they don't seem to know what to do when they get there.
Most were slipping on the surface and then shitting themselves with the chance of getting gripped.

I've been on the pitch once and that was when the match had finished when we won the non league trophy against Farnborough.

No chance that we would be docked points. Fine yes but no points deduction. Both wrexham and mansfield have had fans on the pitch in recent games so what is the difference?
Wrexham was being hailed has fans celebrating a fairytale.

Any points deduction would be contested and rightly so

Amongst all the idiots there seemed some OTT stewarding yesterday too. Female steward in the South needs to learn some simple people skills and not to shout/get in peoples faces just because she’s protected by stewards behind her. Not the first time I’ve seen said female steward like this either.

As for the others on the pitch, get them all fined/banned, they were warned. I’m sure I saw 1 kid around 20-25 enter the pitch 2-3 times so I’m guessing the stewards were just allowing him back into the stand.

Idiots hurling abuse at the Barrow fans coaches leaving the stadium. I just don't see why people can't just show a bit of class and enjoy what the team created on the pitch. You can spot a kn0b a mile off just from how they dress. Really do hope these sort of clowns are identified, they are not wanted or welcome.

I’ll assume that is why I saw about 5 police officers looking like Mo Farah sprinting down to the away end after the game!

[Lesonthewest]

Where was the physical assault! He walks from a safe position into our absolute idiot minority, & rags one to the ground. That's it, nothing more. Had a lot of respect for their manager & what he's done there, not now.

I said exactly the same to the Mrs yesterday. I remember running on the pitch after that game too. It was my one and only time. I think everyone ended up on the pitch that night for the trophy lifting. It was a different time and nobody bothered. Certainly wouldn't be doing it these days!

[IDM]

Apart from the odd end of season fixture at Belle Vue to get from the pop side to the other, the only time I ever went on the pitch was to join several hundred others and go applaud the Southend fans.

Surreal that was, but never threatening nor confrontational..

Just seemed a bit bizarre especially when you consider nothing was really achieved yes we won but we haven't even reached the play offs.

Grant McCann, coaching staff and the players must have beeen thinking WTF.

[Colin C No.3]

Been on the pitch once, with my brother.

Belle Vue, Rovers vs Colchester & we were relegated to the Conference.

We didn’t talk, each wrapped up in our own thoughts. Would we even have a club to support the following season?

Walking on the grass that we’d watched heroes & villains (some of those villains in Rovers colours) play out our fantasies, destroy our dreams.

Stepped over the wall, up the terrace & out of the ground never looking back once….too much pain.

No selfies, no gestures, no posturing.

I think we were ‘allowed’ that one.

[roversdude]

Twice at Belle Vue both mentioned separately above - I think the Farnborough one we were more or less expected to be on the pitch to watch the presentation.
Colchester as Colin says was a last look back at the terracing I’d grown up on thinking that was the end of the club
