Gaspode Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 7 hours ago, ariotofmyown said: I parked in Derby Arena for first time so walked past the Leeds fans coming out. Seems a bit odd that the away fans have their separate path before reaching the road where it's packed with both sets of fans. Exactly the same when we played Leicester a couple of years ago - away fans escorted along the path and then let loose at the point where there are the most home fans - and not surprisingly, trouble near the Audi Garage - Derbyshire police are hopeless when it comes to keeping the fans segregated.....yesterday they stood and watched a large group winding people up and showed no inclination to "keep the peace" - in fact, it seemed that most were simply waiting for trouble to start so they could wade in with the batons....

Sith Happens Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Perhaps as a so called intelligent species we should be able to cope with people who support an opposition team sitting near us without wanting to tear their limbs off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that depends on how they act when they are sitting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are being morons and goading the home fans i would just expect the stewards to deal with, i still wouldn't want to beat them to a pulp If they celebrate a goal, thats ok.

Stewards are just jobs worths anyway, would rather just eject someone for boozing in the stand or sitting in the wrong seat than get down to the nitty gritty. Stewards are part of the reason that theres less bother in stadiums. 1. They cost the club less than police, 2. They are less inflammatory than the police, and can resolve situations in a friendlier manner. God forbid they actually enforce the rules of boozing in the stand or making sure people are in the correct seats. I dont know how old you are, but back in the day a large police presence in the ground meant an uneasy atmosphere. Look at when clubs go abroad and get baton charged in the ground by the local police force. Do you want to go back to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all well and good, but how many Derby fans missed out on tickets because of them? I know I wouldn't be happy if I missed a match because away supporters got tickets in the home end before me.

Whatever happened to "being the bigger person".... I assume that you wouldnt care if you then got arrested for punching said away fan and therefore received a ban.....

If it stops away fans in the home end the yes, reasonable force should be used. I feel football violence is back on the rise and the reason so, is that the working class man has had enough and needs to let off steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
