Lets be realistic here, if Bramall Lane had held the 2nd leg and SU had won, there is no way in this world or the next they would have banned 5000 or so people for a pitch invasion.

There wouldn't have been 5,000 fans on the pitch.

The difference is Forest have said they enjoyed the fans celebrations on the pitch, 

United always prepare to prevent it as much as possible.

It's an automatic ban at the Lane, the only fans I've seen on there this season were Blackpool fans after they scored.

There were at least a couple of hundred Blades fans on the pitch as soon as the ref blew the final whistle after the Fulham game, despite the fact we were told not too before & during the game. 

 

Anyway, the EFL are considering ground closures next season as punishment for fans coming onto the pitch.

Don't know how that's going to work?  Or who's ground gets closed if the opposition away fans invade a pitch?   I'd be hoping it's the opposition's ground.

Hardly comparable but I'll guarantee any identified will receive a ban.

I wasn't at the game due to being abroad.

It was a despicable, cowardly attack on a player who was on the touchline minding his own business, what a moronic way to act after an important win, why would anyone think to do something like that, beggars belief.

Yes.  Mr & Mrs Twoshort-Planks must be very proud of their son.

Lance "Buddy" Franklin kicking his 1000th goal. no one was hurt.    https://nortonsafe.search.ask.com/videos?o=APN12175&l=dir&qo=serpSearchTopBox&geo=en_AU&doi=2021-04-27&p2=%5EEQ%5Ech30au%5E&q=buddy+franklins+1000th+goal+video&ctype=videos&videoId=A4Lk_3SaJSk

Its a security matter, all you can do is plan and do your best to execute amid the frenzy, protect the away fans, players and away sides dugout, get the away team & match officials off the surface asap and into the dressing rooms, clear the surface and let them all go home once the euphoria has died down. Supporters really enjoy getting on to the pitch as its something they rarely get a chance to do and for some that opportunity only comes around a handful of times. You can plan to minimise risk, but thats not easy to execute when youve got thousands entering the field of play, a better way would be  to make an announcement to allow fans on, once the field of play is cleared and thereby lower any risk.

But I can see the EFL making it the clubs responsibility and coming down heavy with fines and terrace bans to stamp out this old tradition due to the amount of morons that cant or wont control their emotions.
