I heard that two palace herberts invaded the pitch at selhurst last week.
Got me thinking we seem to have been very light when it comes to this, and can only think of a few.
I remember a guy i know soon after we returned to the Valley running out of F-Block and pushing over a Bristol player, i remember the big fat streaker (home to Blackburn ?), Vince has been drinking off his dash for Killer for 14 years, and i made into onto the turf with a handful of others after Leaburn scored up at Ewood Park in the early nineties.
I can also remember people on the pitch after scoring at Crewe and Walsall in the promotion season, and Southend before that, and one bloke at the New Den after we scored there.
Has there been any others ?
Were any of you on the pitch at the Stoke game when we left the Valley ?

re the big streaker tho i was told by his mate that he ran up to Gareth Southgate and said "allright gareth mate my name is bla i think we must be related"... "not with the size of that we're not" was GS cruel reply.
A part of the Old Valley pitch continures to thrive in Foots Cray.
I remember that Blackburn game well.When Leaburn scored me and my mate climbed on the fence thinking we were all big and tough,when I notice about half a dozen lads on the pitch!I seem to remember the steward just looking bemused and ushering you all back in.Great day that was.
Think that other incident when someone leapt out of the covered end and shoved a player was against Notts County,not Bristol.He's put on some serious weight that lad too,doubt he'll be vaulting anything anytime soon!(No offence to your mate!!)
There was a pitch invasion against Stoke in the league cup c1977. Two fella's ran the length of the pitch to confront the Stoke fans.
Then there was the infamous Sunderland pitch invasion in the mid 70's when the South Stand was being constructed. The Sunderland fans were placed on the East Terrace and decided to take the quick route out of the ground across the pitch. This prompted a mass pitch invasion by Charlton fans.
Around the same time there was a pitch invasion against Brighton. Again they were located on the East Terrace and Charlton fans were trying to get to them via the pitch in the NE Corner. That, BTW, was a classic match. 1-0 down, 2-1 up, 3-2 down. Went on to win 4-3.
There was a confrontation on the pitch between Charlton and Cardiff fans in the early/Mid 70's...
And the best pitch invasion of the lot...1975 against Preston to celebrate promotion to the old 2nd Division. Thousands of Charlton having a knees-up and singsong
That was the other thing that annoyed me about this summer's Welling game - the weather was so bad, invading the pitch afterwards was a bad idea!
I made it on to the pitch Wimbledon at home when we got promotion AT Sellout
