Sith Happens Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Just now, YouRams said: I'm not condoning that at all, that's an idiotic thing to do but again from expierience people look like they're letting you out at times then will put their foot down just to be a t**t. Doesn't warrant smashing a window but again two sides. Im with you there are two sides and all that but the very fact that they caused criminal damage does sort of suggest they were the aggresors, maybe not but not a clever thing to do.I would have stayed in the car, or if it was me walking i would have walked away.

I didn't see it but there is always two sides to a story. I once got started on by a Norwich fan who had two little kids with him if I retaliated which side of the story do you think a paper would have written? I could be completely wrong of course anyone on here see it? There isn't always 2 sides to every story - that's nonsense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsdubs Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 See it all the time, sometimes drivers are a bit silly but a lot of the time people think they are all of a sudden invincible because they are in a crowd. Even people not in crowds just walk slowly in front of cars because it's a matchday. Both sides need to be sensible. My wife has had the car punched for just being at a junction before, makes me furious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stive Pesley Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 No excuse for the idiots escalating this to physical violence, but as a pedestrian who attends the match on foot, I simply don’t understand those people who sit in their cars and edge forwards into pedestrians on purpose. They clearly aren’t getting out of the Pride Park gridlock any quicker if you move forward two feet towards the stationery car in front of you.

Saying that, when some thugs hit your car, getting out and confronting them probably isn't the best idea. Agreed. I would sit tight, lock the doors and video them.

Stive Pesley Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 What would be the point of confronting them anyway? They slap your roof, you get out and say what? "I say my good man - please in future would you mind awfully not slapping my roof when I nearly run you over?" Quote The driver got out of his car and challenged the man and a fight took place which ended in the man falling to the floor. He "challenged" him - that's his problem. He "challenged" him to a fight, and then he lost the fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanish Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 they should close the whole area to cars just before the time when everybody leaves; so that will be 3 30 by all accounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Park away from the ground and walk in.I never understand the urge to park near to Pride park, it just looks a nightmare trying to get out in a car. Anyway, assult and criminal damage from men in their 40s and 50s...sounds like nobbers all round Tbh..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Where abouts were the police in all of this? Pride Park was flooded with them on Saturday and you're telling me that not one of them tried to stop this incident? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Reading the article again, it looks like it was a few minutes before the final whistle, so I guess the police were more interested in the imminent exit of the Birmingham fans And it also means these lot of plastic half fans had all left early! No sympathy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 What it is about English football culture that makes everyone so keen to get away? We have fans literally fighting to leave. It's like the rush of the school bell, except nobody is forcing you to go to the football like they were with school. But maybe that's part of the problem. A lot of fans go as a force of habit rather than having a passion for the game. Obviously the result provides some context here, but I don't get the fight for space between fan and car, or fan and fan. You'll get home. Just chill out.

davenportram Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 these guys are out of order. The car had given way to them so why did they hit the bonnet? there should be signs on the approaches to PP area displaying that a game is in progress. Other grounds have them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess it works both ways . Was you on the pavement? If so, you should have got their registration number and reported them to the police. If you was walking on the road, it is you that is in the wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Pedestrians were allowed to cross the road if it was safe to do so. a row of stationery cars is pretty safe. If one then decides to drive at you, then you are not in the wrong. Cars are supposed to give way to pedestrians who are crossing the carriageway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cars are supposed to give way to pedestrians who are crossing the carriageway Well maybe I am technically wrong but not sure why anyone would assume it is safe to cross a road in a spot where there is a space that they know a car is waiting to drive into?

Wolfie Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I park on the Velodrome car park and don't normally have a problem leaving the car park. There are loads of fans trying to cross the road at the entrance but there is normally a bit of intelligence & give & take from all there and not too much of an issue. Where I do see problems is further on Royal Way and onto the A6 with nutter pedestrians running into the road to overtake others on the pavements. I've seen plenty of incidents with them getting nudged by cars and subsequent fall-outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it was in the car park right next to the ground which I am sure you realise is joint cars and pedestrians.Last time I checked the highway code says pedestrians have right of way. Having said that the nob deliberately pulled out as I was walking past his car complete tosser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
