18 years to the day on 3rd April 1999. I recall invading the pitch at the final whistle. Nobody was subsequently tracked down by the police !
A double from latapty missing out on a hat trick with a penalty saved. Good memories

I had to work that weekend so couldn't make it up. My Dad and brother were at the game, (and were both on the pitch at FT).
No fights or arrests. Shaun Dennis reduced to his jock strap though by all accounts as he gave away every stitch of clothing to fans.

We took a big crowd through to Firrhill although we weren't expected to win it that day. We had to win and rely on Morton beating Falkirk against the odds which they did.

Remember it quite well, which is strange, as often I can barely remember 2 days ago :)

Remember the tannoy? "Hibs fans must not enter the field at the whistle"
Right then...

Great day. Proper old school as well with the Falkirk result being shouted out by guys with radios to their ear.

Was a memorable day, after a dodgy start including losing to Stranraer, it was never in doubt, and we came back up with a lot of momentum. I, along with most people was on the pitch.

I was there with my kids and waited roughly ten minutes for the pitch invaders to leave the pitch, presuming the team would do a lap of honour.

Clubs all over the country have had pitch invasions. The difference with ours was the huns and their snivelling wee pals in the media stirred it up as much as possible to deflect from the real story of the day - their beloved rangers blew a lead in the cup final.
Please though, if (when) we win the league, STAY OFF THE PITCH. We don't need any more negative headlines.

They eventually did, yes, but I had two small kids and they were well bored of waiting by the time we left.
Not being able to foretell the future, it was impossible to know how long it would take to get the pitch cleared.

I remember that game so well. During the invasion, I was part of a large circle of fans dancing and singing "Mixu Paatelainen, what a $%&ing signing" which was all the better because Mixu was part of the circle and was singing at the top of his voice
This is how it feels

Only time I've "invaded the pitch" after a game and at 40 year old at the time, felt a bit embarrassed. Don't know why though. The team did come back out to acknowledge the fans. Thinking back, if was 21/5/16 on a much smaller scale with none of the follow up crap trying to hunt us all down.
Knew there was half a chance we could win the title that afternoon depending on results but as I recall it was actually expected we'd win it the next again week at Raith. That turned into a Championes celebration. Beat them easily 3-0.
Happy days.

Question is John - if you were on the pitch and I was on the pitch, who was doing the on-line commentary?

Never tried it myself you see, and not sure what I may have been missing out on.

Interesting to note that last year the majority of folk never ventured past the half-way line (and this is long before the polis and stewards came onto the park) ; a pretty fair acknowledgement of where the boundaries lay. Sadly, a few rockets got involved and it all went to s^&*.
