What I’d like to know is what’s happening around the country re other clubs. There must be incidents up and down the leagues. What about those lovable lads at Millwall. The New Den is never closed for anti social stuff or football related . It seems that some clubs would need to have their yobs setting off scud missiles to get closed down.
Do I think it’s ok to run on the pitch or chuck things? No.
Buts let’s get a level playing field here for all clubs.
Scunny stewards handcuffed a pitch encroacher on Saturday, apparently a fan was leaning on a gate and the steward told him to move. A few verbals followed and the fan objected to the steward calling him to a fat ****, fan jumped over the fence and took a swing at the steward! The best bit was a statement afterwards from the security company owner, his name is Richard Short.
 
Football is a family day out. It has moved well on from its toxic culture of the past and that sort of thing has no place in todays society. Now we are in a digital age with automated booking systems surely it would be possible to manipulate tickets to prevent youngsters gathering together, at least for home games. That would likely solve the problem.
**** off.

I agree.

We go to football to watch a game, these are professional players who do not need some ****wit kid running onto the pitch while they’re doing their job.

The club are facing actual consequences from this, and only when these consequences are actioned will people ask “what was done about it?”.

Playing it down as “youthful hijinx” or “political correctness gone mad” is mental, if you were on a night out and some kid chucked a bottle at your head, you wouldn’t slap your knee and go “oh you guys”. There’s a legitimate safety concern, coupled with massive fines and a potential stadium closure. Those fines will inevitably translate to higher ticket prices, a reduced wage bill, whatever. Fanilies won’t want to go and take their because, rightly or wrongly, it’ll be seen as more dangerous so we’re losing out on newer fans coming in. That’s the era we live in, bemoan it as much as you like, but will I take my 3 year old daughter to a game where people are chucking coins and bottles at each other? Hell no.

Can we please bury this bullshit argument about “wokeism” and stop using it as an excuse for ****ty behaviour? It’s not “woke” to point out **** behaviour, or to do something to try and stop it. It doesn’t create an atmosphere of anything except potential injury.

Well said. That 10-year-old could’ve killed Ingram with his iPhone.
 
As you're the only one that's tried to conflate it to that, it should be easy enough.:emoticon-0105-wink:

Well, I can read a room and I don’t think I’m wide of the mark when I see people thinking this is some sort of OTT response.

What Baz said needed saying, just a shame that the people who commit these acts probably won’t be reading his article.

You're admitting that you were the only one using the phrase you'd like to see less of. <doh> :emoticon-0102-bigsm

Or could have been carrying a concealed weapon. The fact he’s ten or fourteen or whatever doesn’t really change anything. He went where he wasn’t supposed to go, him and his parents are quite literally paying the price for it. Wonder if in 10 years he will think it’s worth it.
 
Anyone got a couple of ideas why people seem reluctant to go to the stadium?
 
Look as I said earlier there are idiots et al about who will do spontaneous sh*** things . The club cannot stop them because it’s spontaneous - identify them have the police issue a fine however substantial . The club cannot be wholly responsible in the same way idiots scrapping drunk at the Bonus arena before Simpy Red weren’t the responsibility of the council . It’s dealing with them after the event that matters .

Yeah, kids tend to misbehave from time to time and push boundaries. It’s what kids do. You’re massively overreacting.
 
How many posters on here, that were there, stayed off the pitch when we beat Watford to reach Wembley?

I didn't go on. Even if I had the game had finished, players were leaving the pitch and no bottles were chucked.

1 off celebratory event after the game that doesn't threaten players or disrupt the game is a world of difference to scrotes who can't behave chucking stuff at players, ripping out seats and disrupting the game for everyone else.

When the bottle throwing was mentioned a while back I asked what sort of bottles were they, still not got an answer.

well the easy answer is we are not permitted to take bottles into the ground….and inside only plastic bottles are sold….so I think that’s your answer mate

Fans where on the pitch for the 3rd and 4th goal.
