[Albion] Behave at West Ham…

[pigmanovich]

The theatre comparison is odd, this isn’t the theatre, it’s a football game, if you want a theatre experience go to the theatre I guess.

Not a comment on away days, but this is exactly what I told a neighbor in ESU who literally manhandled me for briefly rising from my seat over a big chance during the Ajax home game. For such a quiet lot, some of them are quick to get physical!

Of course they can ask.

They can ask all they want you don’t have to show it, if they call plod over remind plod it’s a civil matter they legally cant force the issue or arrest you.

If you look on the away ticket website you’ll see the following on the landing page “You must bring photo ID (e.g. Passport, Driver's Licence) with you to the game. The ID must match the name of the owner of the ticket.”

I’m not saying I agree, I’m just pointing out it’s part of the T&Cs

Behave. No one can drink in the stand. If you'd been at Fulham, there wasn’t room to swing a car let alone chuck a beer.

I'm not specifically referring to Fulham in the stand but in more general terms as per the club message.

 

[METALMICKY]

Nope.
The issue persists though.
The main reason was fairness.
Personally I think the club use the system to their advantage when it suits and they refer to arrests related to people with no entitlement to away tickets but no stats, and buying a ticket from a tout isn’t illegal.

It was the behaviour and fairness.

Actually it is illegal. Look it up. The reality is that that enforcement is very difficult. And don't forget we are only talking about ticket sharing whereby you might give the ticket to a mate for nothing or at least only the face value.

This is nothing to the days of the old Goldstone. The police had their favourites.

I remember a group of us singing 'John Wark's got a face like a hippo's bum' and PC Beard a friends picking on one of us and chucking him out. It was standard to issue bans for nothing in particular. They got off on it.

We dreamed of being chucked out for drug offences. Just for something serious. Just once.

I have looked it up. Scalping is illegal, buying is not.

Where does it suggest otherwise?

On of our club sanctions specifically refers to refusing to show ID.

People were drinking beer in the aisles at Fulham. People have drunk beer is the stands at the Amex….tourist types. Not known the rules, manage to wander in with it….thrown out? Nope.

Those who are going to behave like fuckwits are not going to decide to behave because of an email asking them not to.

The email is ineffective for the morons and insulting to those who can manage to act normally when leaving the confines of Sussex.

Misjudged and off target.

Giving a ticket for nothing isn’t touting. But is a breach of ticket rules (unless permitted by the club). So if you’re a standard STH it’s not permitted.

This thread in a nutshell. No further post required really!

Whilst I agree, it does mean no one will have an excuse should they f*** around, get found out and then be told "that'll be your last away game for a few years sunshine."

Crying that it's all unfair won't work then.

Exactly ... a point I made earlier in the thread

Which is farcical given my West Ham ticket in my Google Wallet doesn't have my name on it, just the fact that I am a Wolves supporter

I wonder if that's because the club can trace an email - with e-ticket attached - if it's forwarded on to someone else.

…….Not so excited

Maybe, the point I am making is if I am ID checked tomorrow I have nothing to state I am a Wolves supporter so will I get ejected ?

"We're watching you" goes a long way though in general, even if I can't speak for this situation. In any bunch of fuckwits there are the leaders and the followers and the followers might opt out if they know that Big Barber has banged the drum. Also might increase "internal policing" in the sense that anyone can say "you should calm down, didn't you see what the club said?"

Good to know
