    The Derby football police unit have attended every away game for years now, as have a selection of (non Showsec) senior stewards on their Derby County jackets. It gives that familiar face to supporters and obviously local intel on who to keep an eye on. 

    Then why are they not dealing with the issues that seem to be obvious and growing?

    Me, too. I am working so hard to get a full season away this year  - I've never done a complete season before. If I succeed I will probably never use my new category as I've just about had enough of all the abuse that we older women get from some of our own supporters. 

    Thats an awful thing to hear, and really this needs to be taken up by the club urgently. Angie as you are involved with ramstrust, why not get it raised with the club that way? To me all it needs is for Derby stewards and police to be present at the away games and lead away those who are causing the trouble, search and sniffer dog them, and then the club remove their away membership and ban them from attending away games. Do this at a couple of away games and I'm sure the issure will go away. 

  3. This issue of standing in seated areas really needs to be dealt with. Sooner or later there will be injuries somewhere and that will just result in more legalities being imposed. How long before a club has to close a stand for this reason?

     

  4. I think football fans in general are in real danger of shooting themselves in the foot, not only are we routinely getting large numbers (Several 1000s or a whole end of the ground) of people standing in seating areas which massively increases risk, we now have people standing in the aisles, or pushing into areas so there are more people than seats. Did you see the Man Utd fans spilling over and knocking over the advertising boards at Forest? If this continues we risk a huge clamp down, possibly needing government to introduce new laws. All because a minority of people think they can do what they like?  

    If fans are not careful we risk having safe standing removed and a strict requirement to stay in our seats? We are now also seeing away fans buying seats in home areas because they can't cope with whats happening in the away end?
