Pitch Invasion

[agreenwood]

Maybe the club are just using some pretty stark language to ward against having to pay for additional damage and an FA fine after the Millwall game.

In any event, they clearly aren’t going to issue bans to children and I’m struggling to muster much sympathy for grown adults who can’t follow well established instructions. Not sure passion is much of a defence. More likely coke and drink.

[pureclaret]

Who knew, after 60 odd years following Burnley, travelling thousands of miles, spending tens of thousands of pounds etc etc apparently footballs not for me because I object to idiots breaking the law

Love it , this year will mark my 60th year in august of watching the clarets, my Dad took me on to begin with to get vouchers or some thing to be able to watch and get tickets for the 66 world cup. But from then on ive been a Claret. and yes ive broken rules and laws but I admit I was /am an idiot for doing so and have accepted that as times change, things that were minor infringements are now more looked at in a different way

[NewClaret]

I find your comments offensive to genuine Burnley Football fan, guess you are not a football fan

Sure, if that’s what you think.

You’ll presumably feel the same about the thousands on the pitch at the Orient game and every promotion ever since.

[agreenwood]

The club are in an impossible position tho. As I said earlier in the week, how do you stop fans from invading the pitch?

When the FA hand out fines, I’m not sure what they expect the club in question to do next time they are in a position where a pitch invasion is a risk. All they can do is ask fans not to do it.
Well, that or pay for several hundred riot police.

[Father Jack]

Looking at this picture assume it’s the LEDs in front of the CFS (bottom right hand corner near the blurred flag) where the damage has been done?

None of the others seem to be damaged

The thing is, if you have a 16, 18 and 60 year old doing exactly the same pitch run, with no damage or verbal assault, who do you ban? If it is 3, it will have to be 500, if it is 1 or 2, there will be outrage and claims of selective discrimination.

There is no way this course of action can work.

(I’m not referring to verbal assault, or damage)

[fidelcastro]

So that includes the players wives and families? Or the multitude of backroom analysts?

Did they go on as soon as the ref blew for full time, thus delaying the lap of honour etc?

I must've missed that.

[CrosspoolClarets]

CrosspoolClarets
you put
But those who simply joyfully ran on, to threaten to ban them now, using CCTV, that is hardly what a community club should do. Many were just kids.
In any normal persons view that is exactly what they should do for the protection of the club and its fans . You need to take a hard look at your self its illegal to go on!!!!
Are you the sort of person who would say yes its 30 mph limit on Todmorden road but if you go at 70mph its ok as you have had a good day

Look, we cannot get too puritanical about this.

There was only one paragraph in the press release that was a problem, the guys who did 70mph (e.g. the one who abused Wilder) I am all for charging. The ones doing 31mph shouldn’t be prosecuted. Humans are sheep, they follow the herd. When we have hundreds running on, many will follow. We are being urged to watch documentaries like Wrexham where they have bigger pitch invasions than we had, that is glorified by TV and many naively follow it. Not my thing, but some do. They shouldn’t have their whole lives ruined for it.

But the 70mph speeders, fine.

Where are the stewards in front of the home CFS

[Clive 1960]

The only people who should be on the pitch are the players, I know it's a tradition especially when you get promoted bit it's for the players to celebrate, plus should Pace and co been on the pitch...

[Corway]

"Monday's pitch invasion has resulted in costly damage to LED boards around the perimeter of the pitch. It is the club's intention to identify the fans who committed the damage and recover all costs incurred directly from them," Burnely said in a statement on Friday.

[pureclaret]

Sure, if that’s what you think.

You’ll presumably feel the same about the thousands on the pitch at the Orient game and every promotion ever since.

At that time it was a request not to go on since 1991 it's law and if you break a law there may be consequences. We all know that . It's just not acceptable to say that emotions were high . What about the others who have to wait longer for the team to come out having to alter plans to get home etc

[Row x]

At the Orient game, and at Scunthorpe, the gates were opened by those in charge thus inviting fans onto the pitch, with no requests made for fans not to enter the playing area, so you can remove those games, and probably others from your argument

[Les Lawrence]

One now at Doncaster, terrible scenes.Ban em all for life

[pureclaret]

What Burnley fans at Doncaster????

[corporal jones]

It’s quite simple. STAY OFF THE ******* PITCH YOU COMPLETE SELFISH MORONS!

[Juan Tanamera]

So that includes the players wives and families? Or the multitude of backroom analysts?

I'll go out on a limb here and take a wild guess that the people you mention might just have had a teensy-weensy little bit of permission from club to do so.
Crazy I know.

I know, I don't really care who does and doesn't have the right, but English Law has a lot of time for precedent. And fans have been invading the pitch following promotions, last games of the season, and even for not getting relegated, for years. Not saying they're right, but I think it's OK as long as it stays non-confrontational.

[gandhisflipflop]

I wonder if they’ll be one at the racecourse? The games gone soft.

[Les Lawrence]

No Doncaster fans celebrating promotion,like every team in England fans will be on pitch after gaining promotion.And there chairman won't be crying and banning them either

Did they cause damage?
Did they confront the opposition players?

[Les Lawrence]

Yes, a advertisement board was knocked over,and Bradford players had hurty words said to them.Inspector Gadget is currently looking at CCTV footage to find and ban the thugs

I bet you stand outside banks applauding robbers as they make good their escape.

[Clovius Boofus]

No need to trash expensive LCD hoardings. The same goes for those scroats who got abusive right in the faces of SUFC players.

That'll be it from now on. No more on-pitch celebrating after the final whistle. Can't be forking out good money simply to repair expensive equipment. Also, can't trust fans not to goad and abuse opposition players when they are heading for the tunnel.

It won't be it from now on. It'll just be that punishments for pitch encroachment will be more severe. Sadly, we'll still have dicks who don't care.

[aclaretinstevenage]

Thousand on the pitch as soon as the final whistle blew at Wrexham this evening celebrating another promotion.

Let's see what the FA do about this one.

[Les Lawrence]

Ryan Reynolds furious with the pitch invasion,FBI on the case, multiple arrests and bans,this week incoming.Thugs

Chill out,maybe you could set up a go fund me page,for the led lights

[aclaretinstevenage]

Yep, they do have history!

[Clovius Boofus]

You really are a tedious bore.

[bobinho]

Managed very well at Loftus Rd today, lessons to be learned right there.

Will we?

No, we’ll rely on repeated negative messages through the PA and on the big screens, then whinge like bitches when the muppetry encroach again.

[Burnley1989]

Chill out,maybe you could set up a go fund me page,for the led lights

Not sure why at this moment in time fans try to start arguments with each other but its an odd place on here at times mate

[Les Lawrence]

Clovius is furious

[Clovius Boofus]

Clovius is furious

As if. I'm simply calling out a dull-witted bore.

[fidelcastro]

As if. I'm simply calling out a dull-witted bore.

I wouldn't bother. This is someone who encourages his own kids to run on the pitch with him.

[Clovius Boofus]

You're right. Best ignored.

These people seem big on social media given the number of phones held high on Monday-
Maybe a hashtag might give a message - my suggestions

Morons Keep Off The Pitch
Chavs Stay Where You Sit.

[Quickenthetempo]

It's enough punishment for the pitch invaders that they will grow into miserable ******** like the rest of the older generation and will slag off any future pitch invaders.

The world will keep on turning.

[blatherwickstattoos]

Hope they throw the book at Hollywood (Wrexham) fc

[Les Lawrence]

Did they confront the opposition players?
Like Egan Riley did?Bore off Furious Boofus

[pureclaret]

You really are a tedious bore.

I decided to look up the meaning of a tedious bore, and found that basically the 2 words mean the same,so no wonder Les liked your comment as a double negative could be taken as a positive lol and the comment dull bore is the same , what a strange language we have !!

[mdd2]

Interesting that Liverpool crowd of 60,000+ and stewards keep the pitch free from spectators and we can’t contain a third of that

[IanMcL]

Lots of flares at Liverpool. Highly dangerous. Naked flames too!

[corporal jones]

Those scenes at Liverpool are what we were denied by the ignorant chavs on Monday.

[pureclaret]

You are so right !!!!

[BB4Claret]

There was no pitch invasion at Anfield yesterday. They won the Premier League.

Why do some idiots and morons at Burnley think it’s the “done thing”?

FFS stay in your seats next Saturday. Don’t get the club into more trouble than it’s already in.

[Ashingtonclaret46]

SO many Clarets fans are quick to slag off both Liverpool and Leeds fans for whatever, however, their fans have given the football authorities every reason to throw the book at clubs whose fans invade the pitch for whatever reason.
No fans went on the pitch of one club who had just become Champions of England and no fans went onto the pitch of the other promoted club in The Championship and who are more than likely going to be Champions.
Seventy three years I have been going on the Turf but have never been on the turf apart from when on a guided tour several years ago. There is no excuse for any fan to go onto the pitch on a match day, it is against the rules laid down by the FA.

[MT03ALG]

How do you stop it and which club in the land doesn’t have a pitch invasion upon promotion?

Liverpool won the Premier League and had NO pitch invasion
