Derby (H) build up

[Nando]

It was on social media over the weekend. A Blues fan had her picture taken with a few of the players and she posted that DD had said Wolves "will not win the title here, don't worry".

It was likely meant as a bit of banter and once again some of our fans are making a massive meal out of it. He's not going to say "make sure you get tickets for the Wolves game because they'll win the title that day" is he? Storm in a teacup.

He isn't, but he's been one to come out with all sorts since he left.

I'll appeal right now for all scrubbers to stay off the pitch in the event of Fulham failing to beat Reading and us winning on Wednesday. Small time.

The pitch invasions will be worse if go up against Blues.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hopefully we go up without kicking a ball on Saturday then. That should keep invasions to a minimum.

It won't

Mining the concourses might help. Couple of machine gun nests...

Of course, the best method would be fuck loads of WMP at the front of the stands.

Reading Kevin Phillips' article in the E&S it looks like Derby are coming to attack and at the same time take Neves out of the game. Best of luck to them...

To be fair they're already two goals up through Huddlestone and Weimann.

Man that ex player curse has really done us in this season

Well instead of "living for the moment" they'll be "living for the moment to get the moment on Instagram & Snapchat as quick as possible"

 

[Tredman]

There's going to be at least one pitch invasion whatever happens. Much better that it happens against derby than against blues with them, presumably, in the bottom tier of the Steve Bull.

 

[Jinky]

I've seen discussions on Twitter relating to getting seats closer to the pitch so they can "join in with the pitch invasion". It's going to happen, unfortunately.

 

[YoungWolf]

Just consider ourselves lucky that Shackell won't be playing, otherwise it would well and truly be game over

And yes, unfortunately there will be a pitch invasion. Does my head in but not sure it can really be stopped.

Every club that gets promoted has a pitch invasion, I hope it happens only after the final Whistle, and that the Police are in front of the Blues fans. Not sure what the issue is with a Pitch invasion when you have secured promotion, would like to see the fans in front of the Billy Wright and the players to come to the director box as they did in Graham Turners day.

Definitely think last match of the season, it would be great for as many fans as possible to be on the Waterloo road when the players coach turns up so they can see the fans joy. Would be good if they could start on the ring road almost like a bus tour, which I doubt WMP will allow to go ahead.

 

[Banjo]

It means the players can't enjoy it as they get ushered off the pitch whilst the fans take a load of selfies and swing off the crossbars. It would be nice if the players could do a lap of honour and celebrate with the fans rather than have to go and hide in the changing room.

 

[Langers]

I don't mind the one pitch invasion at full time when promotion is confirmed, players held aloft etc etc. But then it starts getting silly.

QPR in 2009 and Crewe in 2014 = good
Barnsley in 2009 and Rotherham in 2014 = bad

And unfortunately, it doesn't take much for it to take a more sinister turn, and if it's confirmed on Sunday, there are enough wankers in the crowd to get in the face of the Birmingham players and without doubt the away fans will be goaded. That's not celebrating, that's antagonising and acting like a cunt. No need for it, but it's 100% inevitable should full time on Sunday mean we're mathematically up.

Have to say I agree with most this, it's unfortunate it will happen V Blues, as I think there is likely to be an under currant to the game, without the fans facing off

There was no invasion when we won the league vs Sheff Utd in 1989 as far as I remember, we won bugger all in the 90s but I also don't remember it being a phenomenon at any other clubs when they did go up.

It's something that's crept in over the last 10-15 years (not to say there were no pitch invasions before, they just didn't happen every single fucking time). It's such a shitshow. All it means is the players have to gradually inch their way off the pitch as morons pile in to slap them around the head, then everyone has to wait 10-20 minutes while said morons amble back towards the stands because apparently, standing on grass is really special.

What might work is if everyone stays where they're supposed to, the team seals the deal and then they can do a lap of honour or whatever without a massive delay or any safety risk at all. It's a crazy idea I know.

The massive fences might have helped stopped it in 1989 tbf

My memory is not what it was, but I thought we clinched the title against Sheffield Utd, but we won promotion, and there was an invasion.
There was also the SVT when we qualified for Wembley, and we were all outside the old Waterloo Road stand and Turner etc were on the flat roof by the alley.

As I said it was my memory playing tricks....
