Segregation - away fans

[slinky]

lets be honest, if there are certain sections of away and our own home fans that will be looking for a dust up. We cannot stop that Neanderthal behaviour. All i hope is that they don't bring it to our doorstep, and just take it somewhere out of the way. Stanmer park would be a good spot. let them get on with it, and then we can watch the football in peace.

 

[Napper]

It's my generation that invented hooliganism. It's disappeared.

And I speak as an ex-Birmingham City supporter.

compared to how it was , naive to think nothing ever happens now though

... and there will be so few of them, that we won't even notice.

As I say ... it's disappeared.

 

[ferring seagull]

I stand re-assured !

 

[Grassman]

at the Goldstone away fans were marched to the station......

Really? I'm sorry I know it was a long time ago but I don't ever recall this happening.

I remember Palace getting it in the ZDSC. What a cack game that was.

I am sure people have previously posted on here that away fans will not be held in after the game. For the most part, I do not think it will be a problem. Having said that , when Millwall and Palace, and poss West Ham come to town I think it may be different. Most will travel by train and Falmer station will just be a mix of fans in a bit of a bottle neck. Guaranteed pockets of trouble methinks.

And Leeds and Cardiff and Birmingham, plus I'm sure Pompey and the other south coast club will bring a fair few morons with them too - the Championship is chock-a-block from bottom to top with hooligan supporters from yesteryear....

Pompey yes. The others I do not think will be too much of a problem. Not because their fans are better, but simply because they will not all come down enmasse via the train like the more local one's. Much the same as when we travel to all the local one's. Most seem to go by train and all together. When we travel to Birmingham or Cardiff people go by car / coach minibus and some by train etc, and it will be the same for them coming down this way. Do not think that will be the same proposition.

This definitely did happen, I used to live in Wilbury ave and witnessed lines of police all along the road for certain games, i.e Pompey, palace etc

 

[Rugrat]

For high security games, won't the police just hold away fans in the ground until the number of home fans has dwindled to a manageable level?

I wonder what time they'll have to hold them till given the anticipated lines for trains - 9.00pm?

 

[Working class pride]

The cameras should stop trouble at Falmer and less segregation stops the lots that shout "come on then". There will be trouble but probably at arranged places like the Aberdeen and Pompey games. In fact even years ago the trouble was often away from the ground, like the palace friendly with the CS gas. There is no need for for most people to be inconvenienced by a few and really they should just let those who want to do it get on with it at some industrial estate somewhere, takes the glamour away then

Nearly all hooliganism disappeared with the advent of CCTV
There are still of course isolated instances of trouble but it'll be out of view from the red-eye
Im sure there will be next to no trouble at the Amex

 

[The Growler]

I asked a steward yesterday how the segregation will work after a game when travelling by train. The 'official line' was that all fans will mix and if any 'home' fans are caught up in trouble they will receive an immediate 1 year ban from the ground which in their words "will be more like a 5 year ban due to the waiting list for season tickets" .....

 

[hans kraay fan club]

if they are planning to keep them in until everyone has got away, they'll have to put bunks in the South Stand...

 

[albionite]

When we play Palace on a Tuesday night at home, I can see us being held back after the game to let them go home first. It will be a bit silly just to let the fans mix at Falmer station and take the lets see what happens approach.

 

[The Wookiee]

The spurs game will be a huge test, if as I expect, there will be trouble around the ground, you can expect jail sentances to be handed out, even when guilt by association. The club and the police will use this as an example and set an example for anybody else thinking of causing trouble around the stadium. Now away from the amex, that will be different !

they wont hold back 20,000 fans

I was talking retrospectively, as in "yesteryear", can't believe anyone is still into that scene nowadays....

There was even police next to me on the gantry yesterday filming towards the south stand, and some of the west stand. Its come to a point where any trouble will be caught on film, and this is the best evidence the police can have.
