It's a **** show. Scattering away fans around the home stands will do **** all to improve the atmosphere. Not to mention at a sell out, genuine City supporters will have missed out on tickets.
You’ve replied to my second comment but not taken notice of the first. Rosie almost certainly didn’t feel it was the right situation to bring him on but also we have played the other three together in those scenarios before.
You don't normally get ejected in those circumstances, you just get asked to remove or cover the offending shirt, it's generally only when home fans complain (or start twatting them) that they get ejected. City did all they could to avoid it happening, the Leeds fans in the home ends were bought tickets by City fans, you could make a decent case for banning the fans who bought tickets for Leeds fans from buying additional tickets in future (certainly where they were wearing Leeds kits and the club know who bought those seats).
But it’s against ground regulations They should be immediately ejected. We’ve already got their ticket money so **** them. There was at least one inadequate in East Stand that was removed by fans. The stewards need more bottle because leaving it until someone complains is too late.
Don’t think Vinagre can defend well enough or not til he gets up to speed - but he’s good going forward . Think we may see some changes for Sunday
You didn't just need a Hull address, you needed a Customer Number/Membership and previous ticket purchase history for City games.
Came away from the game a bit disappointed after missing that great chance, however Leeds should have gone into half time leading. Analysing things so far, we are almost averaging 2 points a game. We are a pretty strong side which as competed well in every game, however it’s important we turn some of these home draws into wins if we want to stay in the top six. We seem pretty solid as a team but need to create more.
So they had bought tickets before either for Leeds games or when we played a big club? Or somebody who should know better bought tickets for them. We have fans living in Leeds. They could get tickets for City when they play there . If they were foolhardy enough to do so and wore City shirts what do you think would happen? Everyone would say leave them alone they are doing no harm?
That's quite a generalisation. A Leeds fan I know was sat in the East stand, and he'd definitely bought the tickets himself. It was funny to see his kids in full City kits though.
The ticket purchase had to be recent, it couldn't include any previous Leeds meeting, or any Premier League games.
But we often haven’t ejected home fans in home area. Man Utd and Liverpool were just two examples where people told stewards there were away fans and the stewards said they were doing no harm and did nothing. One of them did march up to the top and tell some lads on the back row to sit down or they would be ejected. I told him they were doing no harm. He replied it was ground regulations. My discussion about his enforcement of ground regulations, including if I brought a pint in I would be doing no harm, got heated and a senior steward arrived. Then a copper came. I have criticised the police but this one was very reasonable. He said ground regulations and how were enforced were up to the stewards. The police only involved if criminal acts were happening. The smug looks on the stewards faces disappeared when as he left he turned and told them that of course if any trouble did start and the police were involved he would know who to ask as why when they knew about away fans being there they had done nothing about it.
That would be absolutely fine by me, I was just stating what normally happens, not what would happen if it was up to me.
