Whitestar Posted March 6 Posted March 6 I went on the Burnden pitch after the Fulham game and after the Preston game. Never been on the Reebok pitch. Quote

Dennis Peacock Posted March 6 Posted March 6 I don’t want to be a killjoy (I’ve been on the pitch at Burnden, after Preston match, a couple of times during the Hull match and various others that it’s probably sensible not to mention) - if you want to run on the pitch after a play-off semi final then fair enough. But I think doing that - both team and fans - shows a lack of focus. Both fans and team effectively thought that beating Barnsley meant we were up. It’s arrogance and we paid for it at Wembley. Get the job done and then celebrate. Quote

Winning a semi final isn't one of those occasions though. I went on the pitch after Sheff Wed in 82! We hadn't even confirmed we were stopping up but it was such a massive result to beat them unexpectedly it felt natural (in my youth), although there was probably no more than 1k that did. I remember being amazed at how crap the pitch was, I was playing on better surfaces for the school team. Then Wigan in Freight Rover semi was a proper invasion, folk getting stuck trying to get over the tall iron railings. Quote

I think they scored early on through Terry Curran. With my vague memory, I seem to recall Curran’s lob was going wide but hit some mud on the Burnden pitch and went in. That could just be my shit middle aged man’s memory… Quote

Thinking back over pitch invasions of my time Didn't go on at Hull because i was grounded for being caught with weed Went on at Burnden v Preston Didn't go on at port vale Not v Peterborough as was in west upper Not v forest as wasn't there but if i was would still be in west upper Said i wouldn't v Barnsley but with the relief of their second half come back i couldn't help myself Quote

Get the job done and then celebrate. The Barnsley play-off was the first time I've ever joined in with a pitch invasion. My kids basically forced me to do it. At the time, it really did feel like we were up, and the Oxford game was just a formality. After the highs of that night, followed by the absolute fucking farce at Wembley, my lad fell out with it all completely - and I can't blame him. It was a proper battle getting him back into it the following season. If we get to the final this year, it's going to cost me a fucking fortune getting him to Wembley again. Probably have to soften him up with a week in Paris or summat, with a quick stop off in London on the way there. Edited March 6 by Cheese Quote

Weird as it didn't seem to happen after that. You'd have thought Swindon and Wolves semis were prime for it. And even the last game. Vale was just madness and it seemed to happen every week after covid. Quote

Arrested development Posted March 7 Posted March 7 (edited) Stockport being at wembley for the pizza cup is their trip to wembley. Bit like us in our year. Rare to make it twice in one season. Edited March 7 by Arrested development Quote

Stig Posted March 7 Posted March 7 So, same games played right now and it's an 11 point gap to make up. Seems impossible but Cardiff have lost 2 out of 3 now and could have more of a wobble. And we have to play them. Get the win today and let's see how they cope after these losses Quote
