I think personally if you just join the dots.....
Club gets a fine for certain behaviours... flares, banners, or chants or whatever... do the fans change... nope they say no pyro no party and up the ante.
Club gets more fines.
Or
Club gets fine for fans standing. they continue to stand.
The club gets reduced ticket allocation for away games... fans whine...
Or
club has consistent issues with violence outside gorund where pople get stabbed... club is not responsible... no action.. people get hurt worse. (see milwall, see roma fans)
In the end if you tolerate the antics of the few they start to become more and more the norm until you suddenly have a big problem.
I'd goodle the long and unsavoury history of this derby before judging if birminham city have no guilt.. thats what i did.
Its the same as that stupid palace v brighton bullshit due to something that happened before most were born.
The hammer needs to be dropped on the individual and the club.
