Pitch Invasion Tomorrow ?

BurnleySYS · Post by **BurnleySYS** » Fri May 05, 2017 8:34 pm

If we mathmatically stay up tomorrow will there be another pitch invasion on the Turf ?

For me staying up in the richest league in the world is a bigger achievment than getting here as proved by our other 2 seasons when we went straight back down.

Nobody give us a chance but we look to have don it.

On the pitch on the pitch on the pitch !

No, we want the players to stay focused for the last 2 games, not think it's all over.
However after West Ham we can party likes it's 1973.

The manager wouldn't let that happen.

It's a strange one because I'm usually all in favour of a good old celebratory pitch invasion, but I don't think that we should this time.

Avoiding relegation pitch invasions are usually done because it's been a last match great escape type thing, but we've hardly looked in that much trouble this season.

Maybe save it for West Ham.

Would be tinpot

Outside perception is everything if we are to be seen as a forward thinking progressive club

I even found the 'we are staying up' chants at Palace pretty lame.

We are tin pot we are little championship Burnley who should never be at this level.

Wish people would stop thinking we are a big team. We are a tiny town that was over achieving surviving year after year in the championship.

I just find the whole chant sounds small-time, regardless of the team and division. Singing about winning promotion has more to it than singing about not being relegated.

But we've been relegated twice in 7 years from this very division.

It's not small time to be heard chanting about how we've (nearly) achieved something that we haven't previously in the modern era.

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Fri May 05, 2017 10:22 pm

Did we do a pitch invasion when we stayed up in our debut season in the Championship after all those years? I'm genuinely asking.

And if so, when did we stop doing it? And if we didn't, why not?

I don't mind celebrating it, I enjoyed our win against Palace and the fact that it has practically secured our place in the PL for another season as much as anyone. I just find that chant pretty lame, personal preference.

We are not tin pot and I do t that no anyone on here thinks that we are a big club. We are a small town club that's perhaps punching above its weight but we have earned the right to be where we are and almost earned the right to be there again next season.

Celebrate, be happy etc. etc. but don't make us look like a genuine tin pot club by celebrating as though we've reached the Johnston Paint Final.

Barring the odd nut job, do you ever see a pitch invasion by the fans of the big clubs? Act as you wish to be viewed.

Sidney1st · Post by **Sidney1st** » Fri May 05, 2017 10:38 pm

That's a good point actually.

I can't recall the last time the fans of the bigger clubs put down their prawn sarnies.

I did notice that, even though Newcastle won promotion their fans stayed put.

Why do we give a sh1t about how anyone views us in this context?

'Outside perception' of us being 'tinpot' and 'small time' will always be there because it is Burnley Football Club.

B0llocks to what big clubs do or what other fans think.

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Fri May 05, 2017 10:52 pm

Why don't we cordon off a section of the pitch so that those who want to go **** each other off can, whilst the rest of us actually act rational and give the team a clap and walk off back to our actual lives.

I usually enjoy the half time entertainment but it has become a little tiresome. You should float this idea in front of the powers that be.

Don't buy that. We may always be small by comparison but that's very different to being tinpot or small time.

It's the most viewed league in the world and if we think that our image and how we portray ourselves or appear to the outside world isn't important, we are being naive.

It's 2017 Sid. Football needs to move with the times, and if that means the end of 6-a-side under-11's matches during the half time interval then so be it.

If you can't let youngsters nip to the loo unaccompanied at the turf, there's no way that half time wanking could happen whilst there was a kids six aside going on. Its
One or the other!

Would the wanking be a mixed six aside? I need more info before I cast my vote.

On the flip side it could show how passionate we are and how much success meams. Because lets face it staying up i s a huge success relatively speaking. In 2 to 3 years hopefully its not. Its expected. But now it is.

That said, and as someone who doesnt mind a pitch invasion it doesnt feel right this week.

Last minute escape maybe. But theres 2 more games to go. No doubt will be one against whu.

Besides. Im saving my energy for griffin park on sunday.

Perhaps we could kill two birds with one stone here. Some wanted to keep the goal music. So perhaps we could have the wanking with Tom Harks playing at the same time.

Oh! In a segregated area of the pitch of course.

I'd be embarrassed for any fans who ran onto the pitch today.

But I guess it depends on how many VKs they've had.

Bfc · Post by **Bfc** » Sat May 06, 2017 9:54 am

To the above ideas, I suggest that nobody should be allowed to enter the pitch until the golden oldies in the Bob Lord have clambered over the wall, onto the pitch and then had their chance to masturbate. Then other stands spectators would've got fed up of waiting for it to happen and just go home.

Zom Zom · Post by **Zom Zom** » Sat May 06, 2017 9:59 am

A pitch invasion for avoiding relegation? How about an open-top bus ride through the streets as well?

I can understand the taking to the pitch after last game escapes such as Orient and Plymouth Argyle, but unless Swansea win their games and we need something from the West Ham game, then its a big fat 'No' from me.

Lets not, we may be a small club, but we are bigger than that, I'm sure.

Burnley shirt that is too small for you or you are too fat for it. You choose.

Claret and blue jesters hat because you think you are a bit wacky.

Cheap jeans. Probably bought off the market or from Tesco.

A pair of black worn out Adidas Samba because deep down you know that you want to be a casual.

How about you stop labelling people. You pretentious t**t.

Why did you feel the need?

What is wrong with Stone Island or Adidas?

Are you trying to suggest that people who wear these labels are somehow more likely to run on a pitch than say someone wearing a jacket made by Wrangler? I don't get what you are trying to do.

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Sat May 06, 2017 10:10 am

I'm just suggesting the stereotype of those who wear said items tend to be the more rowdier at games.

I'm not basing it off any actual statistical data, just my own prejudice.

It'll be ok mate, honestly.

Staying in the Prem is a massive achievement. But it's not a "great escape". We haven't been in the bottom three since the first week of the season. We've been 'safe' for months.

Keep the pitch invasions for special moments - the last minute great escapes and the title clinching goals.

Although to be fair, there'll be far less justified pitch invasions all over the country this weekend so whatever, crack on.
