As Keith said, it was a shame that the idiots didn't show respect for the club in their actions but glad that they cleared the pitch and allowed the lap of honour to take place.

I'm just glad that they eventually got off, and allowed the players to walk round before they all went back on again.
A great send off all the same.

A tad unfair, there were Dagenham fans on the pitch celebrating with us all well after the TV cameras were switched off. I think there was enough genuine respect in the vast majority of the fans who went on the pitch. I too am pleased that they quite quickly got off but I think it was mainly over exuberance rather than trying to be famous.

A simple set of instructions were given throughout the match via the public address system, along with a warning about the possible implications regarding what may happen should those instructions not be adhered to. If you can't follow such basic instructions, then you clearly are an oxygen thief. I've no problems with supporters going on the pitch, but only when the club had announced that this was allowed. Given that the club had clearly planned for supporters to go on the pitch anyway, I don't see why they couldn't wait like everybody else.....except the cameras would have well and truely stopped rolling by that point.
The daft 200 or so who invaded the pitch before the lap of honour risked a premature evening for the majority of true Morecambe fans who wanted to applaud the squad for their efforts throughout the clubs most successful league season. Doing this was a purely selfish act in my opinion, and I'm glad that they quickly pissed off and didn't ruin what was a great close to our great old home. And as for the ones who invaded after the second goal…..morons, lifetime bans from Christie Park should be sent out!

Nah, apologies if I appear to be having a moan - I'm really quite a positive individual. I'm just putting a fairly pointless 'what if' scenario forward in a fairly unconstructive way. But what if the players hadn't come back due to a few people disregarding the clubs wishes? I just think to potentially risk the enjoyment of everybody is a little bit irresponsible and unfair.
Great scenes at the end though, having the opposition players do a lap of honour and get the applause they deserved for being the better side over two legs would probably be laughed at by most other clubs as being a bit soft and sporting, but its because of gestures like this that I'm proud to be a shrimp.... long may our humility continue.
