Absolutely laughable the uproar on here rather than celebrating the fact that we're promoted people are booting off about people choosing to celebrate in a manner different to their own.
Anyone remember when Boro I think it was got promoted at OBV and their fans were right on the touch line and down the pop side of the pitch for 10 minutes before the end? In fact, I think the ref blew a bit early as it was clearly ridiculous to play on.

The pitch invasion was bound to happen, that's why all the stewards were there in the first place.What needs to happen for future events such as this is to allow the fans on to the pitch to halfway and the players leave the field of play.Then as used to happen at Belle Vue the players return in the gantry area in the West stand above the dug outs , and we can all chant and cheer from there .
Quote from: POD on April 08, 2017, 08:30:19 pmOnly about 1/4 of Rovers fans were left in the ground to witness the celebration. What would have been better would have been a walk round the pitch immediately after the final whistle, as the players do after each home match. In that way, the majority of the crowd would perhaps have stayed and made it a much more spontaneous celebration. As you say, the pitch invasion,that took at least 15 minutes to clear, not a few minutes, meant that about three quarters of the crowd had gone before the team came back out.No doubt this will happen again if we win the league.As most were spotty kids I suppose they won't know better next time.

Fek me, everyone's done it, everyone grows up and sees its ridiculous! But to chastise the young ones for having their moment is mean mannered. We should be happy they're attending and obviously having fun.

Ridiculous that people are blaming the people on the pitch for how long it took to come back out. And ridiculous that people are saying loads of people went home early because of it - there's ALWAYS the vast majority of people already gone home by the time the players come back out.

I was behind the kid who threw it (albeit about 100 yards behind him). Someone else had the flare and threw it towards the touch line. I saw the kid walk up and pick it up and at first I thought he'd throw it off the pitch out of the way. Instead the d**khead chucked it into the middle of the exiting Mansfield fans. Considering the amount of bobbies & stewards around he'll be handing himself in if he's got any sense.
