Should WAGS and Families be on the pitch?

A rational one.

First all of, the parents decided to parade their families around the pitch for everyone to gawp at like some kind of rich fantasy world freak show where paupers 'the fans' aren't actually part of.

I think the over reaction is hilarious. How many people got hurt? None. A few kids got a little bit frightened. So what? Kids are stupid and get frightened by smallest of things. Maybe, just maybe, if your little twerp kid wasn't such a gaylord and scared of big crowds, you probably might have considered it a been better option leaving in the directors lounge with Mummy.

"Gaylord" "kids are stupid"

How old are you FFS

I've been a huge fan for as long as I can remember. I've watched some great teams and some shit teams, seen great players and poor players, witnessed joy and heartbreak. That 'piece of grass' has given me some of the happiest and intense highs and some of the most shattering lows in my life. As you grow up and have a mortgage and family, priorities in life change but that passion never dies. I didn't go on for photos with the players, they were off by the time a ambled on anyway. I went on for a perspective, to see what it must feel like for those players to be surrounded by four stands with thousands of fans in, the feel of the pitch, the smell of the grass, to celebrate, an experience for my kids and because I was bloody happy.

ok I suppose that's a tangible response which is what I asked for- at the very least an intelligent one. Maybe I'm getting too Victor Meldrew. But i'll bet you were responsible to others around you and i'll bet the majority went on without any of those reasons in mind - but just because they thought they were big and clever!

The thing I disliked about Saturday was that the players seemed more interested in walking/talking with their families instead of showing the trophy to us fans. I didn't see anybody once flash it to the crowd. When we won League One, Oakley virtually walked around the whole ground in front of the fans with the trophy in the air.

 

Drinkwater did, from the start of the lap around the West Stand and the Kop, clearly showing it off to the fans.

family life has changed over the years wrt to the modern fotballer. when a bigger club comes calling for one of our players, it could well be the wife who says 'me and the kid(s) are happy here' which swings it for them to stay.   

 

they DO matter, whether you can see it or not.

 

the handling of saturdays post presentation stuff was naive on the part of the club responsible. lets hope they raise their game for our time in the prem as i hope it will be a prolonged period.

Is it just me who actually enjoys seeing the players' families? It makes me feel like I know a little more about them, thus feel closer to them. Does anybody remember a couple of years back when Wellens' young kid got the ball and dribbled it into the goal? That was a great moment. Perhaps the trophy should've been paraded more, but the players want them there and that's enough for me.

Well said!

When we lost 1-4 to Brighton, who were the people who had to support the players later that night? Not the fans. When we go home and bemoan defeats on FT the families are left to provide that moral support.They should be given immense credit. They provide essential support for each player after every game. They're the ones who are truly affected by poor results, injuries, bad form. They are with the players through the good times and the bad. The families deserve to be on the pitch.

 

This isn't a thread about pitch invasions, but just for the record, if thousands of of people want to disobey instructions and charge at toddlers, I'm sure there is very little we can do to stop it.

 

I'm glad Wellens was mentioned. Is son, Alfie I think, provided us with an amazing moment a few years back. I didn't see anyone moaning then.

 

PS. Try not to invade the bus.

No. Why should the players get to celebrate with their nearest and dearest? They don't deserve it!

It's far more important for middle aged men to run on a pitch to act like a lad

Exactly. Why should David Nugent's wife be the only one allowed to touch him intimately?

We pay his wages.

lol you said you don't care about people children's

 

In this context. I don't know why everyone is pretending to care about some player's kid 'apparently' getting frightened by the big crowd. I think a lot of adults might have a sense of fear being down there in front of that many people. It's a non-story.

 

Another amusing aspect of this was Nige down there acting like an angry PE teacher. Comedy gold.

Christ, master fox, you're 31 and you use words like "Gaylord"

 

Yeah? And? What words should I be using? Please grace me with your far superior vocabulary, gaylord.

To be honest no one seemed too bothered by it near me. I was at the front of sk1 and politely 'excused me' to the edge of the row and walked on, as I said the players were off the pitch and those near me were just watching the fans on the pitch, a lot probably followed.

That's a creepy statement. 

 

How close do you want to get? Touching of the genitals close?

Words that don't show you to be immature maybe?

You really are a knob aren't you?

Why should the players bow to your selfish need?

There is a parade today where you can see the trophy being shown off

Truly spontaneous pitch invasions, such as Burnley (1983) and Oxford (1991) - No problem.

 

The first and second pitch invasions on Saturday - totally forced, unnecessary and a little cringeworthy.
