Mugs. Probably tanked up on booze, which they patently can’t handle, turning them into bullies.
Decisive and deserved action by the club. Well done.

Leaving home with a knife is more than just getting tanked up & not being able to handle it.
What about "It was just bantz" - 2/1?

Perhaps that will follow with criminal cases. The club can’t prejudice that by unilaterall naming people.
Assaults, with the club must having ample evidence for these bans, will be pursued by the police and CPS.

Whilst I’m not one of the ‘usual’ suspects some of this has made me feel uneasy, largely down to the lack of detail. So I’m going to play devils advocate.
Female doctor attending someone and attacked by them. The worse case is someone in their 20’s who’s had to much to drink spitting at/hitting a doctor. But it could also be the person in their 50’s who has had a tumble and has pushed away a doctor trying to help him due to embarrassment. There’s such a wide spectrum that could be covered by how it’s worded and that’s why it makes me a little uncomfortable.
My Granddad suffered from dementia and whilst in hospital woke up to two nurses speaking Thai. Confused and in unfamiliar surroundings he panicked and ended up twatting one of the nurses with his walking stick, hurting her pretty seriously. On the outside that’s a bloke assaulting a female nurse. But with context it’s much easier to understand why it happened. A vulnerable man woke up and his fight or flight instincts took over. He was a Brighton season ticket and away game regular for 40+ years, he still went right up until he was hospitalised. If he’d had a turn at a Brighton game...
Threatening to stab a steward? Fair enough, lifetime ban.
Attacking innocent away fans? Yet again, perfectly acceptable to be given a ban.
Assaulting a doctor? You literally can’t tell if it’s a fair punishment or not unless you saw the entire incident.
Steady on. There is no evidence that anybody had a knife. (Threats to stab, are just that).
Do you work for Sussex Police?

Point of order - he "threatened" to stab a steward, there's nothing saying he was actually carrying a knife.
Still a scumbag piece of filth, mind.

The club haven’t said that anybody was found in possession of a weapon.
A drunken threat to stab somebody when you don’t have the means to do so isn’t completly out of the realms of possibility, but is still very very dumb.

I’m singing from the same hymn sheet as you all the way with this.
Alcohol is absolutely no excuse or mitigating factor IMO, it’s just my educated guess that these bullies were emboldened with booze. Football fans get pissed before/during matches, with 95% able to handle it, not turning into a cowardly thug.

Ah, it must have been one of those wooden stirring sticks.
Fair comment.

That was exactly my point.
It doesn't really matter if they do or they don't. It's up to them who they let on their property.

I read it as Albion fan attacking a doctor who was treating a WBA fan. Could be wrong though.

Any medic would know the difference between the actions of a confused/demented individual and a volent yob behaving like a violent yob. It's all in the training and years of experience.

I think you have misread it. I read it as the doctor was tending to the steward who had been assaulted and was assaulted whilst helping him. I could be wrong though.
