A couple of weeks back at the Birmingham game there was some commotion in the North West corner between City and Birmingham fans. It was nothing major, just a bit of banter and the City fans winding up the Brum fans. Both sides were giving it, neither worse than the other. Typically swarms of stewards and coppers came and chucked 4/5 City fans out whilst the Birmingham fans are just left alone. It absolutely stinks the way we treat our own fans and seem to lay out the red carpet for visiting fans, nothing short of embarrassing and half the issues are caused and exacerbated by the heavy handedness of stewards charging into situations where they don’t know the context.
What action did the authorities take against Birmingham fans throwing bottles at our goalkeeper? Who defines inappropriate behaviour?
True. But which was the only club which spent the money given to them under The Away Supporters Initative on the away fans of other clubs by tarting up the away concourse, something they as owners of the SMC should have done, instead of on their own fans travelling away like all the other clubs did? Needless to say our owners said they were the only ones who had interpreted it all correctly.
I seem to remember in the EPL days, every other club used money the league gave to each club to help with cost of away travel etc for their own supporter's benefit. The Allam's were different, they spent the money to enhance the experience of visiting fans to the KCOM, so they gave the benefit to away fans not our supporters. That's what they said, of course, we will never know whether they just kept the money or did spend it on what they said.
Are we the only club who treats our own fans like this while letting away fans basically do what they like ?
The way the club, stewards & police treat our fans v's how they treat away fans is beyond a joke. Serious question. How much involvement do the Allams have with these matters?
I bet it’s you causing the trouble…dressed in your best stone island & gold chains….giving it the large one “ come & have a go if you think you’re hard enough” We know you Den, the vegan thing is a smokescreen …….
Guess who appointed themselves Safety Officer and Safety Certificate holder for the stadium to be in charge of these things?
Who said they'd spend any more money? There's loads of stewards already, Ehab just likes to find them stuff to do.
