Cctv in the ground

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

A group of burly looking blokes near me and my dad were giving the Borough fans some stick. A steward came down to tell them to quiet down and got told to get lost so the stand manager tried to turf one of them out to cries of f*** off!! Think he realized he had no chance and slinked off. They'll get a warning no doubt but it seems very heavy handed as they were just having a laugh and there's been no grief otherwise.

They're the ones making all the atmosphere as well.

PS> if anyone knows who im talking about and the club are giving them grief, me and my mate will attest to their good nature

a couple of people were ushered out by a steward Saturday and they never returned, not sure if he had been tipped off by surveillance or if a complaint had been made from someone near by , can't pick your nose these days

No you never could, you pick your own!

I think there are a number of contributing factors as to why football violence is no longer a major issue inside grounds and CCTV is, in my opinion a small part of it. A larger part is the very severe penalties if convicted and all seater stadia making the major part of it.

Yes. And how do you get convicted? Because those cameras can provide irrefutable evidence against you by being able to pick out individual faces.

a bloke in front of me at the POSH game had a Hip Flask full of scotch i believe, he had a quick nip before the game in the concourse and got it taken off of him in the stands even though it was in his pocket

At the Amex, of course, all that they have to do to control season ticket holders who fall below the required standards of behaviour is cancel the facility on their smartcard that entitles them to get into future matches. A mere push of a button. At Withdean, they had to get hold of the physical ticket to be certain of preventing future admission.

So what no one is bigger than club wanna act like morons they can leave.

 

[empire]

no doubt rather than creating a good atmosphere against leeds and palace,your be sipping your hot choc

I know what you're saying and I think I know who you're talking about, but unfortunately at the new stadium if you don't toe the line you're gonna be banned, it's too easy with the new smart card. And to be fair to the club, they did say if you want to stand up, cause a noise and shout and swear they did say the north stand was the place to go, and true to their word the stewarding in the north has been very very laid back.

It's state of the art CCTV can home in on every seat if needed .

If it is in an area where nose picking isn't allowed then you really don't have an argument!!!!

 

[Chester Drawers]

so you like people looking at you even though you're just sitting there playing with yourself

Wish you'd asked me that ! I love it !!

If you're talking about the two blokes taken out of West Stand Lower, they were probably part of a group who have, at every home match so far, been using foul and abusive language right through the match, from the word go.

We've got a similar group right next to us, carrying on in exactly the same way (despite the fact they have small kids with them). We're all for people having a good time and a bit of banter, but these people go too far and it's intimidating to many of the supporters around. You expect the old expletive, but not every other word!!?

We don't intend to be subjected to it for the whole season and have made a complaint to our nearest steward, have to say he was very sympathetic and assured that they are on to it. He mentioned there was another group a bit further back from us and it must have been from there that these blokes were ejected. So, whoever complained about them well done.

i don't think you've done yourself any favours .

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

I sit close by, to the 3 decks of senior police and match security officials have a stack of screens and other gadgets in their new glass box. Must be loving it compared to their hutch at Withdean.
The senior cop also uses binoculars (to scan for totty?!).

i wonder how much that lot cost ?

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

Seems there's a few grasses in the wsl.........

haven't got the bottle to say it to their face

So you seem surrounded by fan's who are enjoying the match, probably in the way that they have always done. You clearly see it differently. Does that make you a minority then?

I would also suggest that any bad language is not aimed directly at you. It's all part and parcel of the whole football experience. Switch off your "bad language radar" for an hour and a half, its not personal.

Out of player budget. But the price to pay to eliminate thugs or thieves.
