HMFC86 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Hard to disagree with it tbh. I’m all for passion and a bit of needle into the atmosphere, but throwing these things and coins is pretty much indefensible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jodami Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Good, that's a decent statement and fully justified. I'm intrigued though about CCTV and identifying people who throw items on the pitch. The people who threw these items and the Lennon coin thrower do not seem to have been identified using the tools at the police's disposal, the majority of them thrown from our new stand. Is there just a delay in identifying the individuals or is this a problem that needs resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do mean seen to be doing something. It's a disgrace if it's costing us money and the idiots need booting into touch. It's about time the club got heavy handed and if there's collateral damage you can't say you haven't been warned. I would advise the innocent to move seats as suggested.

Something does have to be done dave, we can all agree on that. How can it be fair to collectively target fans because they happen to be in an area where there are some individuals who can’t behave? It’s not our responsibility to police that, it’s the authorities. As a ST holder in N I worry that it’ll be a case of sit down and shut up though, while the away fans are able to stand and make an atmosphere. That is unacceptable. It says some arrests have been made so I assume it’s more than the 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballfirst Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 The club should invest in technology that photographs every individual as they enter the stadium via every turnstile and ties that image to the ticket presented using the bar code. The police should also take high resolution images of the crowd section by section. In the event of any incident then the use of that photographic information it should make it easier to identify any individuals involved.

It is for the club to deal with, and they are. If you have a better solution, feel free to propose it. Nowhere in the ground allows you to stand, you may choose to stand and it may be tolerated, but it is not ‘allowed’. Finally, whenever the atmosphere is ‘special’ it is because either it’s a big game and the whole crowd are involved or because something else has happened, like poor refereeing or some other injustice, and the whole crowd is involved. If folk standing in G and N made for a great atmosphere, it would be like that every game. It isn’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
