Have you ever been on the pitch during a game ?

Obviously a bit of a build on the other thread, but rather than afterwards have you been on the pitch during the game?

Me, twice:-

Once at Ayresome Park, at half time during the infamous Villa 2-1 game where Mogga scored his diving header, and Cooper went in goal. I was recruited by Dickens,along with a load of other kids, to hold up a a letter in a card display that spelt something out (Can't remember what) for the TV cameras.

Once at The Riverside, at half time, my dad had won the jackpot the week before, and part of his prize was to take 3 shots at a board with holes in and win another prize. I did it, but didn't manage to get the ball in any of the holes unfortunately.
 
My daft brother RIP. Ran on the pitch at a reserve game. Hi fived Kevin Pool saying now then Poolie and pretended to score. The groundsman whose house actually backed onto ours in Ormesby chased him. Shouting.. It's becouse of b@st@rds like you we used to have fences up.
 
Doncaster away many moons ago. (1988?) Hundreds just behind the line every now and then got pushed onto the playing area.
Their keeper was class btw chatting to us when they were attacking.
 
I was on the pitch during every game when I used to play as a centre back for the school team. That was thirty odd years ago though. Never been on a pitch since then. Me and the dog have a kickabout with the ghouls who hang about in the churchyard sometimes but there isn't really a proper pitch. And it's probably a bit disrespectful to use gravestones for goalposts but that's what we do. The ghouls are a great bunch of lads. They're crap at football though. Me and the dog always win.

Beat me to it. :D (y)
 
As above, Not myself but plenty at Doncaster away. an almighty rush towards the pitch with about 10 mins to go ready to celebrate our return to the second division. All lined up on the goal line, i think someone actually kept the ball in from going for a corner!!
 
I once jumped onto the cinder track at Highfield Rd to tell Lennie Lawrence what I thought of him at the end of a game - the tunnel was near the away fan's corner then. £1,000 fines (a lot of money in the 80's) had just been introduced for anyone going over the perimeter wall but that never prevented me from making a complete fool of myself.

Anyway, I go over the wall and give it to Lennie with both barrels, and halfway through two burly stewards grab me and are roughing me up a bit (these people are experts at making you look like you are struggling). Lennie intervenes, tells the two stewards to let me go and then asks me to finish what I was saying. Lennie listens to my gripe, tells me his thoughts and how in hindsight it might have been different, he then escorts me back to the stand to make sure I didn't get arrested and says make sure you have a safe journey home and shakes my hand.

I jumped back into the Boro end and say to my mates "what a lovely fella Lennie is." 10 minutes earlier he was a right so and so.

I went on against Brighton for about 10 mins. I felt pretty uneasy about it and convinced I was on cctv and probably going to get a ban. I'm definitely not a bad as*.

I actually once got throw out of a match in the late 80s/early 90s away at WBA. It's actually still surreal and bizzare to this day. The whole Boro end stood behind the goal singing 'it's nice to know your hear' and I got lifted by a copper on the 'now f*ck off home part'. I mean the whole end was singing it. I sat in a police portacabin until full-time. This was clearly before mobile phones so panicking about not finding my mates and getting home.

So pitch invasions isn't the worst thing I've done. Proper hardcore me😂
 
I haven’t but my son took part in the schools penalty comp in the 90s twice. Scored the first time but missed on his second appearance.
