Fans have been celebrating promotion forever by running on the pitch, just like Plymouth did as well. There was never going to be the hint of any trouble at Ipswich Exeter was there FFS. Walton was loving it BTW. Bolton 20+ years ago lives long in the memory. All those years of anguish. People actually clambering for their own fans to be banned, you are truly pathetic. For the record I am glad it was cleared so everyone could enjoy but Jesus Christ some of you need to get a life. |  | | |  |

It did, I just didn’t love some fans booing those enjoying the moment, could have probably had a few more on, then all clear back in the stands. Not like anyone was in any rush. | | | |

The booing was pretty unnecessary, however, I do understand that a lot of people will always do exactly what they are told and buy into the club's message to the point of being very critical of those who don't. Anyway well done to all those who had a quick celebration on the pitch before coming off again peacefully. | |

Tradition innit.
If you want to stay in the stands no worries but equally, especially after 20 years of slowly lowering the bar, why shouldn't you get on the pitch and let some emotion out.
No trouble was there, all good |  |

Was pathetic, we have some real wet wipes in the ranks. Look at the scenes with Morsy held aloft. Imagine booing that! They were always coming off. | | | |

It was the club asking fans not to go on the pitch. If it wasn't for those announcements, I doubt those in the stands would have got so restless. |  |

I'm sure there were pitch invasions every last match in the late 80s? | | | |

Mate.
It was a small pitch invasion. It was cool. Great to see.
Stop making a point about something that was never really an issue. | | | |

There were. What rotters we were, eh? Evil. Should have locked everyone of us up. |  |

Don't forget some of our songs back then had swear words in too. Dark days. | | | |

I think the booing only started when the relatively minor pitch invasion started to fizzle out but some on the pitch still wanted to milk it for all it was worth and so further delay the players' celebrations.
I had the 17.44 to catch and would have preferred to see more of those celebrations but such is life. [Post edited 29 Apr 2023 22:04]

Swear some people on here care more about pitch invasion discourse than the actual football ffs (not aimed at OP).
It looked a bit tinpot and the pro-pitch invasion lot appeared to be firmly in the minority going by the general reaction in the stadium but they looked like they had a great time (though do agree it's a bit weird to run around filming yourself - if you're going to get involved, get involved!) and cleared off fairly quickly so all's well that ends well.
The only shame about the post-game stuff for me was that they spent so long trying to round everyone up for the awards and then interviewing/chatting to people that the stadium was almost empty by the time they eventually got to it! Don't mind the players milking it obviously but there was a fair bit where everyone seemed to be standing around waiting for something to happen which could've been sped up. |  |

Not true . On the pitch and off within minutes and players out within minutes. Also the police and stewards allowed it to happen. |  | | |

Personally.. didn’t go on the pitch but thought the booing was stupid, the suggestion of bans ridiculous and the d**khead stewards trying to manhandle young lads (14 or 15 I’d suggest they were aged) even more infuriating.
Why can’t we be like every other club? Not a peep tonight about Plymouth but yet all week in here we’ve been reading how if we do it they will be banning us, fining us and even bloody points deductions were mentioned. Madness. |  |

I know, not sure why the club made such a big deal about it tbh, seemed to cause more tension than was needed. I guess the direction came from the EFL but just let people enjoy their moment and then the team can come back out. The players were clearly enjoying partying with the fans, as was evident by the videos on the pitch and around the town later. Plymouth were all over the pitch (in bigger numbers) and then left again and guess what the players came back out. The booing your own fans celebrating though, laughable. | | | |

Agree so much. 92 was amazing everyone culminating in front of the Pioneer, no agro then, no agro yesterday. Just this pathetic trend of nannying everyone. |  |

Anyone who booed is a grade A pleb. Did you see the joy on our captains face whilst being held aloft?
Fantastic moment. | | | |

There were a lot of older fans who really should have known better, I get it when it’s kids that have never seen anything to celebrate before but 50+ year old men embarrassing themselves is stupid |  |

If the club hadn't made such a big deal, I think thousands would have gone on to the pitch, which would have delayed the players' on-pitch celebrations for even longer, which would have been a shame for someone like me who had a train to catch.
Indeed, I think it's a measure of the respect our fans now have the club that so many heeded their advice.
As it is, those determined to get on the pitch did so, and the celebrations went ahead without too much delay, so I think everyone was happy, even though I would have preferred it if no one went on the pitch.
Let's not forget that it's the football that matters, and yesterday and Barnsley are two of the greatest games I have seen in over 50 years of watching Ipswich, both in terms of result and atmosphere.
As regards bans, I just can't see the club doing it, even if there is video evidence, because it would damage the great goodwill there is, and cause a furore for some. [Post edited 30 Apr 2023 8:59]

Yeah, same for me.
I had to get away, three and a half our journey with a young kid. The announcements by the club kept me off the pitch and as it was, if wasn't going on the pitch I would have rather the celebrations started straight away.
As it happened the celebrations were shockingly organised anyway, Morsy going one way with his kid and Woolfie walking to the centre circle with his.
I can't see the club giving bans either, but the plod were clearly evidence gathering at one point, another thing that kept me off. Important to remember that it is rarely clubs that ban supporters, it's almost always the football authorities ands the courts. Which has immediately made me think about the Exeter fan that got manhandled out of the ground after one of the goals. |  |

I absolutely loved the fact that it was so unorganised, like talking about was banned and just focusing on the task at end. |  |
