I know we have done it a fair few times over the years, but for a Prem team and local derby, it looked like too few stewards / police.
Hope it all passed safely for the players.
Hope this doesn't detract too much from Villas win and great goal by Scotty. Villa fans ( like any others) won't care, they won..... questions should be asked though, one really bad assault on a player and all prem games will be behind wire netting etc.

And Wrexham in the FAW Final, the last game at the Vetch |
Indeed it had happened to us. Villa have been starved of success despite their large support. I think they came on the pitch as they thought the game was over. When the final onslaught started it was boisterous but good natured.
A fine and an improvement in the stuarding would be fine by me. I am no fan of Villa btw. Not one of my favourite clubs by any means.
The bigger point for me was Scotty. He showed what he can do when being released early and running at defences. I would still have him back. |  |

Yeah if we'd just beaten Cardiff at home in the cup to go to Wembley I'm sure everyone would have just sat there clapping.
Passionless tw*ts are ruining the game |

Delph was bitten. |
“Very, very scary,” said Delph, who claimed that he lost his armband, a boot and was bitten. | | | |

2 0 up your team are going to Wembley so do you run on the pitch and risk being identified and losing the chance of being there? |  |

Darran - what about the reverse, you know swans at cardiff in a losing semi final situation. Would you fear for our players or not ? Its not right. And i was there in the bad old days - and it was not right then either. There has to be a price to be paid in my book. And as a paying punter i don't want to have to look at foolish drunken yobs when i want to watch the footie - they can feck right off. |  |

Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewellery.
F*cking morons are killing the game. |
Was that quote one of Lennon's? Seem to recall hearing it with a Scouse accent. |  | | |

Was also at bury did not go on pitch just celebrated in stand. No one should ever enter pitch during game afterwards if like it was that day to celebrate promotion I have no problem with it. | | | |

Oh FFS Clive that's completely different mun. |
It was posted tongue in cheek, but what you are saying is that...................
A friendly end of season pitch invasion is a no no
A pitch invasion with a potential for trouble is ok
Not that I want to put words into your mouth  | | | |

100% agree with this . but after the whistle has gone (running on pitch i mean) . doing before end of game shows a lack of respect for your teams players and the club in my humble opinion. |
All seemed fairly harmless to me and the overreaction today has been slightly bemusing. There was no fighting between rival fans on the pitch and the invading mob of what looked like predominantly Villa fans, seemed quite genial and good-humoured. I suppose it was worrying for the players especially the visiting ones, but it seems nothing serious happened.
Fabian Delph complained that somebody nicked his armband and "Someone tried to take my boot off. People tried to kiss me and were biting me. It was scary". What the biting or the kissing?
Apparently West Brom goalkeeper Boaz Myhill "was involved in a confrontation with a Villa fan who tried to take a selfie with him". I trust ISIL didn't hear about it or we can see them subjecting their victims to selfies ....rather than chopping their heads off. Horrifying.
As I say, there's really not a lot to be outraged about, in this particular instance of a pitch invasion. If Carlsberg did pitch invasions..... |  | | |

By the way I am agreeing with the point about not doing it . during the match but after the match has finished. First one definitely not ok. | | | |

Not so much of the pitch invasions (due predominantly to the fencing) as opposite fans terrace invasions.
Interesting times, but glad they're in the past.
