I agree with Vaya's sentiments in that I don't want to get in the way of anyones soapbox here, but can we all agree that the t**t on the tannoy needs to be free transferred to MK Dons and get someone from a non-ice hockey or local radio background in next season?
There you go Frosty a quick google.http://www.football.co.uk/birmingham_city/birmingham_fined_for_pitch_invasion_rss1630948.shtmlStop being a bloody idiot

I don't believe we were ever fined for invading our pitch (someone correct me if I'm wrong) because I can't remember us ever going after the opposition fans in the ground.
Did we get fined after the Southend game? Or after the Man City game? Or After the Villa game? I've never known a violent pitch invasion at DRFC, they have always been good natured. The club even organised a pitch invasion after we won the title in 2004.
I'll throw my two pennies worth into the 'on the pitch' debate, i can understand there may be a few times when going onto the pitch after a game has finished that can deem acceptable (i.e) Southend, Man City, Aston Villa because of the result and everyone gets carried away with the resul. I do think that going onto the pitch does spoil it for the rest of the fans that don't, anyone remember the conference play off final at Stoke? i was pissed off after that game as a lot of fans ran onto the pitch and spoiled the pre-plan celebrations to parade the trophy infront of all the rovers fans in the stand, because there were fans on the pitch they couldn't do that, can everyone remember the rovers fans chanting 'Off the pitch' to the fans who were on the pitch?Going back to yesterday, fans were warned several times not to go onto the pitch and i'm glad that nearly all the fans obeyed this order as it was nice to see the players walking around the edge of the pitch seeing all the fans showing their appreciation for them, also with fans not going on the pitch, the young children who idolise some players can actually see them, if fans were on the pitch their view would be restricted, i can't understand why the so called fans who were warned not to go on the pitch went on as their were no players on the pitch, they looked like dicks.And to end my topic, we were told several times not to go on the pitch because IMO there could have been a potential flare up between our set of fans and Leicester fans as they have a big hooligan element, and it only takes one idiot to goad the other and then it kicks off.

It seems Frosty and the likes have ignored your post because they know it makes sense, but I'll quote it to make sure they have definately seen it

It seems Frosty and the likes have ignored your post because they know it makes sense, but I'll quote it to make sure they have definately seen it Or maybe Frosty is sick of taking abuse for having an opinion and has given up on replying to the thread? I suppose it's fine for him to be called a \"knob\" but I dare say if he was to lay into one of the happy clappers there'd be uproar. I don't always agree with him and he is a touch too negative for my taste, but this board has already become sanitized beyond belief and he's one of the few on here that is at least interesting and thought provoking, even if it's just because he makes me want to chuck my keyboard at the screen at his posts!I dread to think what some of you would do if we got another Richardson... probably stay seated and not be negative!
I wonder how many of the happy clappers have heard of Richardson. Someone was questioning who Blundell was a few weeks ago.
I went on the pitch a fair few times at Belle Vue (for obvious reasons) and even in the \"sanitised\" modern world of football I'd still say in certain circumstances that theres a time and place where it wouldn't be out of order.Don't see the point of it yesterday though, especially seeing as the club had asked not to so the players could do a walk round. Thats what grated me at Stoke, not the original invasion but the pointless 3 or 4 after that stopped the players doing a proper lap of honour.For anyone that got banned I suppose you run that risk, sometimes you get caught sometimes you won't. Anyone that went on yesterday probably should have had a look round and realised there wasn't safety in numbers so therefore a much easier target for security/stewards - its not like there was an element of spontaniety to it all so doubt anyone could claim they got caught up in the emotion of a once in a lifetime event (like perhaps at Stoke).

Norwich fans on the pitch. Hope the culprits get banned and Norwich get points deducted.

I can't believe this drivel has ended up lasting five pages.
