Safely watching from 300 miles away.West Ham fans have invaded the pitch after going 2-0 down at home to Burnley. I wonder if Smokin Joe's one of them?

I was there today at the london stadium to witness those idiots invade the pitch.What they did was to disrupt the players and angered the vast majority of the supporters.We are probably looking at a fine and also points docked.
I know the board are not liked by some of the west ham supporters but this is not the way to go about it.As for the football i'd rather not talk about it just to say that we are looking more and more like we are heading for the championship.

Points docked would be a disaster. Is there any precedent for it? There have been plenty of pitch invasions in the past that have resulted in only fines.

It would be a disaster joe maybe i am overstating it a bit.I hope so.

Both Accy and my Shrewsbury are the most amazing stories this season. Both teams, on one of the lowest budgets per league and flying high at the top, amongst big spenders like Blackburn, Wigan and Luton.
We have a trip to Wembley to look forward to as well, but hopefully that’s the only time we see it, this season, and we can clinch automatic promotion!

Aw,this puts me in a difficult position. I'd like to wish you well and i do,but i hope any success Shrewsbury have isn't at Blackburn's expense. They are my "second club"having watched them for 20 odd years,from my early teens till my mid 30's. Accy didn't have a team as such in those days. They played in some lower league Sunday pub team league,so i watched my nearest league team,which was then Blackburn,at the time. My brother's had a Rovers season ticket for decades. Part of me wants Blackburn to go up,while part of me wants them to stay down and Stanley to go up,then we can play each other next season. Do you think Shrewsbury could survive in the Championship? I have my doubts about Accy surviving in League 1. It's not the standard of football i'd be worried about,as our manager thinks there's not much of a difference in ability between the 2 divisions. My concern is how much it could cost Accrington financially. Players who aren't much better than the one's we have will want twice as much a wage as the ones we now have. We'd also have to employ more staff to run the club. I know similar sized clubs to Accy have gone up and come back down the following season. Dagenham,Barnet and someone else who i can't think of have the same sized attendances as Accy. They found it difficult in League 1 and not only dropped back down but eventually dropped down into the conference league,though Barnet did get promoted back to League 2. Having said all that,it'll be fantastic to see Sunderland and Blackburn at the "Wham Stadium"(formerly known as the Crown Ground)should they be in League 1 next season!
Barnet lost away to Coventry City. They managed to hold on for a 0-0 draw until the 75th minute before conciding a goal. The National league still beckons. There is still a chance of staying up as we have quite a few fixtures against teams just above us, Port Vale for example this Tuesday evening. Chesterfield and Morecambe coming up.

A Blackburn fan as well, I can go off people you know
(only kidding)I think we would have a massive job to stay up in the Championship, if we get there. But to even have a stab at it would be something to see and remember for a long time. The gap between League 1 and the Championship is a chasm, I think, but Burton managed to survive for a season and so it is possible.
No doubt there is a gap between Lg2 and Lg1, but it’s not an insurmountable gap. The bottom half of the league has some very average teams in it, that have been scraping to survival year on year, but we have shown this season that it is possible to compete if you get a hardworking team, who can defend and are very organised.
I really hope you get promotion.

Conditions must have been extra atrocious at Gayfield yesterday if the ballboys had to improvise shelter

I remember the Play Offs Semi Final 1st leg, there with Shrewsbury, when I sat in the temporary stand, behind the goal, in the pouring rain and went flying celebrating Luke Rodgers goal on the slippy metal!

Very excited today, auld firm day and I love it. Excellent game and an excellent atmosphere inside the ground, well until Celtic scored their winner after having a man sent off. After that, they parked the bus and rangers just didn't have anything left.
Closest game in a number of years, so I have to be pleased that my team are getting more competitive but I really felt we should have won that today.

I've just seen a nightmare from days gone by! I was at this game and remember it well, dear old West Ham, nothing changes
