It shouldn’t matter how close opposing fans are sat. We shouldn’t have fans throwing missiles/coins or whatever. It’s not acceptable behaviour.
Problem is their idea of what constitutes exuberance is not necessarily the same as a lot of others.

Does yours include chucking coins and trying to get to the opposition fans?
 
If the stadium had been designed properly in the first place there would not be these problems Other stadiums of the same age don’t have the same problems.
Agree. There’s been several attempts to shift the away fans up and down that corner which have had differing levels of “success”.
 
BTW, slightly off topic. When are the club going to use the ballboys/girls as an aid and not an hindrance ? Other clubs have been doing it for ages, eg sheff Utd and Stoke spring to mind, but City haven't ever caught on to it, which suggests a lack of IQ on the use of such tools.

Without doubt. What does it achieve.

Just be thankful we no longer have those old predecimal pennies, sharpened by rubbing on the terraces. Also, if you get hit now the coin is:at least worth something.
On a lighter note, some time ago a Leeds fan was in court for throwing boiled sweets at the opposition fans. When told in court they were solid and could cause injury and asked if he had anything to say he replied “Humbug”. A banning order was forthcoming.
 
Watched a video on YouTube from a neutral fan who's doing the 92 grounds thing, he was with the Brizzy fans in North stand & said they was getting pelted with things after Bristol scored...mainly pies...(some fans have more money then sence!)...I normally slide a quarter of bottle of whisky/gin inside a pringle tube but that stays with me, not get lobbed at away supporters!
 
It’s my fault really
I wasn’t there on Saturday to dispense clips round the ear.
Couldn’t rely on Askew to do it for me as he was on the concourse with a stopwatch…

It’s shoddy from askew it really is

You want me to shove a brush up my backside and sweep the ‘terraces’ too?
As well as my undercover mission on the concourse, I was on Shota watch, with the direction to berate him if he waves ( which he did quite regularly).
I was in charge of identifying our new players as I was the only one who had done my homework by bothering to attend a friendly….to be fair not too taxing a mission as one is little with silver hair, one is overweight (though not very obvious in stripes), one big sod plays upfront, one big sod at the back and then an even bigger sod came on in second half and played upfront.
I was also marking your (DBT’s) territory to ensure our new youthful new neighbours (more youths than seats as per norm) were aware they were ‘borrowing’ your seat. They were that pissed that me peeing on your seat just didn’t work, but maybe take some disinfectant wipes to next home game.
 
Here we f’kin go again.

After months of apathy and a luke warm MKM experience thrown in for good measure I actually thought last Saturday’s atmosphere was f’kin excellent for a change. The Big Turk’s arrived in town and finally got the place buzzing again but instead of those who pull all the strings media wise in this City bigging up the club once again all our local rag can do is play right into the hands of Inspector Pants-downs and allow them to gleefully point the big bad finger of hate at the club’s with OTT headlines based on what really was nothing more than a few moments of warm Rivalry between a few excitable fans most other clubs in and around this country seemingly deal with easily week in week out.

Ffs HDM…keep it f’kin real.

Spot on. Not helped by our own fans over the top reactions either.

First time I experienced sharpened coins was a very early 70s home game against Leicester, they brought a massive mob of skinheads (including a load of scary looking lasses) who took the piss all over the ground; to add insult to injury they also kept the St John Ambulance guys busy all match dealing with coin cuts to heads.

Yes. And we took a total of our coach and the official supporters coach down to theirs. Embarrassing.
