wellyfox Posted 6 May 2012 Share Posted 6 May 2012 Orient away and we took the goal posts n corner flags. (and jon o'niell got stripped ) And if people can get out of the kop at filbo over a spiked fence you get on the pitch at the KP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foss1884 Posted 6 May 2012 Author Share Posted 6 May 2012 For a "working class" city our supporters are very "middle class" which is strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanB89 Posted 6 May 2012 Share Posted 6 May 2012 I think there probaly would be one if we won promotion to the premier league at home, but i dont think coming back up from league one merited a pitch invasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We failed to rise to the occasion in 2003 when we returned to the Premier League. I disagree that our promotion from League One did not merit one. We are one of only a few teams to escape that division at the first attempt, just ask Leeds, Notts Forest, Charlton and Sheff Wednesday. We delude ourselves that what we sometimes achieve does not merit it. Ask any Sheff United fan if League One is easy and not to worry. We need to start finding some love for our club and change our ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueharmie Posted 6 May 2012 Share Posted 6 May 2012 How can we invade the pitch. Come on lads we are high risk. High risk fans like ours just don't invade pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted 6 May 2012 Share Posted 6 May 2012 I disagree. We are not boring, we just lack footballing fan initiative and passion in a traditional footballing sense. We frankly as supporters behave more like a "flock of sheep". We are happy to engage in anything, as long as somebody else does it first. Nobody wants to be a renegade. Sorry, but in my opinion, 'lacking fan initiative' etc all seem to fall into the same bracket... Boring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you need to step up to the plate when we next get the chance to invade the pitch. Show us how it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weller in Tights Posted 6 May 2012 Share Posted 6 May 2012 What an hilarious debate. If you dont want to go on the pitch dont, If you do, then dont just talk about it do it. Away at Orient many years ago 13,000 odd city fans, won promotion, it just felt like the right thing to do at the end to go on the pitch. The time we beat Oxford to stay up, fantastic, after the 20-20 victory at grace road last season my son thought it was great. If you dont, then fair play, just don't, clap cheer sing from the stand, what does it matter? If you havent watched the video that was psoted earlier on this thread make sure you do. The bloke in the wheelchair gets a clip round the head as he is wheeled back off the pitch!!!!!!!!!! top bloke But lads dont bitch about it to each other for foxes sake, lighten up a bit !!!!!!!!!!!

Unity is what is required in all matters off the pitch and in the stands. That disdain is why we as supporters are lagging behind others. We snear our fellow fans and mock them with a level of bile which is rather unpleasant. Sarcasm is not needed. It is just a rather cheap dig.

I am Rod Hull Posted 6 May 2012 Share Posted 6 May 2012 Pitch invasions should be reserved for last day promotion/avoiding relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 6 May 2012 Share Posted 6 May 2012 If people read what I've put, I'm actually all for a pitch invasion, I just was merely stating there's a slight small-timeness about it, but ultimately, I wouldn't be arsed. It's a lack of bottle. Simple as that. There's a lack of people who actually want to pitch invade and an even smaller percentage who will do.

Cheers for that. I take your point. I agree we are all waiting for each other to make the first move in this matter. Everyone will always look on L1 to lead the way and then others will follow. We shall just have to see what the new season brings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We as fans do not feel a sense or a desire to want to invade the pitch in celebration. Perhaps it would take special circumstances for it to occur with high drama and promotion hanging by a thread to spark a sense of euphoria.

Dan LCFC Posted 6 May 2012 Share Posted 6 May 2012 Well I'll admit I'm guilty of this at times but there actually is a MAJOR lack of unity at this club, from fans to fans to club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scunthorpe at home was a chance but there was less excitement because it wasn't like we'd achieved anything new on that night, we knew we'd won it. To be fair - when we lost 1-3 to Sheffield Wednesday the year we went down, we could well have had one if we'd won that, as it would've relegated Wednesday and kept us up. Whilst I stand by our fans are pretty boring at home, thinking about it, this ground is yet to see a season defining moment for Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Smuts Posted 6 May 2012 Share Posted 6 May 2012 There wasn't one at Stevenage yesterday thanks to the announcer more or less begging the fans not to get the club a fine. Far too polite in my eyes. I can't see it being the same if Boro beat Sheff Utd on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1964FOX Posted 6 May 2012 Share Posted 6 May 2012 It could easily happen at the KP. All dependent on the first 50 or so people at the front as no matter how many stewards there are once several people are on the pitch they hav the dilemma to try and get them off or stay and try to prevent further but neither will happen as the initial few will encourage mor and more. The thing I truly believe stops it is that the fans who will invade are, in general, at the back of the stands as they wish to stand during the game. The stairs and exits get blocked by those at the front who will get up to go and applaud as they do blocking those trying to invade and the momentum never gets going.

Saxondale Posted 6 May 2012 Share Posted 6 May 2012 I love a bit of a pitch invasion. Last one I was party in was at Grace Road after winning a Twenty20 quarters a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
