People do.But why do you need to run on the pitch to celebrate?
Should it make them criminals?

The last match I was at where there was a pitch invasion was the Everton v Crystal Palace match.It spoils the enjoyment of the vast majority who don’t feel the need to break the law - regardless of how you want to word it.
It also prevents, or delays the team from doing a lap of honour and returning to the pitch.
The only reason people have not generally been through the court process is that invasions have not really affected anyone. The herd mentality has taken over and assault or harrassing of players and officials in a case last season led to it happening every week. Club managers were accosted. The Football Authorities are now interested for that reason and are having to take more stringent steps otherwise an incident by which a player is injured can be expensive if they know of a risk and take no action. Expect court action and, if that does not work, physical barriers and membership schemes. In the aftermath of the Taylor Report (1990ish), a provision was included in the Football Supporters Act for matches to be attended only by those registered under a membership scheme. It was shelved as Thatcher could not get it through but all seater stadia was done instead. Taking a membership card away from a miscreant is far cheaper and easier than going through courts. Don't believe it won't happen.I'd be astonished if 5000/10000+ fans celebrating promotion on the pitch would all be marched through the courts. And what's more it would be absolutely ridiculous if they are. Talk about a victimless crime/gigantic waste of time. Of course it should only be in joyous celebration and not spill over into anything else. That idiot Forest fan is a prime (and exaggerated) example of when the book should be thrown at anyone who does anything other than celebrate.
Although, there were masses of smoke flares (remember, these are not distress flares) set off at the recent F1 in Austria. So many that the stands were covered. No-one complained and no one made a fuss. Sometimes I think all this moaning about smoke flares is caused by middle-aged fuddy duddies who have a loud voice but forgotten what its like to have any enjoyment in their lives. Rules are rules and anyone who breaks the rules should be sent to the colonies ... for ever. That will sort things out. Standing will be next ... perhaps the state of the pasties too ...Regarding flares... apart from anything else I think they look a bit naff and unnecessarily trying to imitate European 'ultras'. Not sure what passion it requires to chuck one on a pitch either.
The best atmospheres in this country are always when thousands of people are singing and shouting bleddy loud, simple as that.
You don't but you just pull out the part you like mostBut why do you need to run on the pitch to celebrate?
