[QUOTE="RoyalBlueStuey, post: 111379"] Everton has a long tradition of good natured pitch invasion...the black and white picture I posted further up os of [b]E[/b]ddie [b]F[/b]rancis [b]C[/b]avanagh, he ran on the pitch at Wembley in 1966 after we'd come from goals down to win the cup final 3-2. We've had 2 near things with getting relegated out or the league (a pretty big thing for a club like Everton who've spent more time in the top division than any other). Both times we've survived on the final day by the slenderest of margins, in those circumstances it was inevitable that there was going to be a pitch invasion. There were hundreds of people hugging each other and singing with sheer joy and relief.

It shouldn't happen but it's understandable. If they are wholly without malice then I've got no problem with it...people forget that until the footy violence of the 80s it was the people's game. Nowadays people lament that the game is so far removed from the people, the players are portrayed as uncaring millionaires. On Sunday a little kid who didn't know any better ran the length of the stadium to hug his hero. Charlie....yer a miserable arl get. ;) SB [/QUOTE]
