[Albion] Assault in away end

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Seeing as how there were, what, 3,000 Albion ticket holders there, shouldn't be very difficult for the club/police to narrow down perpetrator to a very small number of people by process of elimination

Is Darren Balkham aware and has he been sent a photo of this individual?

While I feel for the victims in this I can't be the only one thinking "does this mean there might be two more tickets to Ajax available"? (I'm guessing the son can't go without his **** of a dad)

If club have full photo no need to post on here. Keep in touch and let us know what action is taken. Nobody should attend an Albion game in the future with even the slightest chance that person will be sitting next to or near them.

This is terrible. Hope he gets the full ban. And even more I hope the victim is okay and able to watch the Albion again without anxiety.

I'm a little surprised problems like this haven't occurred before, at every away game you get the group of fans who drink until the game is about to kick off then come up into the stands and barge into the first rows they come across without a care of who is there already, quite often you also end up with these fans just standing in the way in the gangways causing issues with our fans and stewards, who often just let them stand there. More often than not 10 minutes till half time arrives and off they go back for more drinks but often then don't reappear for the second half.

Hope there are enough witnesses to properly punish this time, somebody surely has some footage on their phones with the amount of videos being taken, to pass onto the right people

If they know who he is, fine, though unless he's been in trouble with the club before, they might not. Let’s hope they do.

This.

Alcohol should not be an excuse either. Nice and respectful people don’t head butt and assault their own, even when they’ve drunk a bucket load.

Yes.

Obviously the guys a twat, but, posting a full pic could well be close to the breach line of GDPR regulations.

Tread carefully, even idiots have rights.

 

[Whitechapel]

Absolute muppet who is probably used to some packet sobering him up and doesn’t know his limits.

Grown adults not knowing their own limits is f*cking pathetic, especially when you’re obviously a deeply vile man.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Christ what is wrong with these people.
Name, shame and ban

 

[Triggaaar]

Your right to call this out

Well obviously it's his right, why wouldn't it be?


Come on, I'm only kidding

 

[Triggaaar]

I'm amazed one of our fans did that to a fellow fan for no good reason (eg, they weren't defending their family who had just been brutally attacked). Like everyone else, I hope they're banned for life.

Although it would be great if the club did something for the assaulted fan, if they don't, we could.

Sorry I confused by this, then realised that it is my grammatical mistake, should of put “you’re right“ not “your right“ don’t shoot me.

Sorry, just being silly. Everyone knew what you meant, I just felt the thread could do with some lighthearted crap

GDRP only applies to companies and if you're in a public space or something with public access, you can record/take photos of anything you can see and post them on social media.

Whilst I am sure this post is tongue in cheek, I hope that the teenager is not penalised for the actions of his arse of a Dad. Ban the Dad, get someone to escort the teenager to Ajax if he was going to go.

Life ban and throw away the key to the locker with the pardon papers.

Read this as padron peppers

 

[Weststander]

It's ironic that the risk of violence was deemed to come from Marseille thugs, then a cretin from within does this.
