Yesterday's chip paper now for us.

I’m not expecting the club do anything, mate.
I had naively expected the football ‘powers’ (you, know the ones that fined clubs for players getting flu) to do something.

Not if it genuinely makes grounds safer to visit or do we go back to locking away fans in for an age after the game or worse.

thats fine but who would really know a random rotherham so called fan popped up at the keepmoat for a game if they really wanted to do that much. join a line of others buying a ticket with cash when its busy and those selling them will want the transaction to go as quickly as possible and just give em a ticket anyway.

All Police Forces have Designated Football Officers /“Spotters”, and there’s a significant exchange of info. They know their own Bad Boys. Preston officers will go to Blackpool when PNE play there etc, and CCTV is useful. It’s not 100% of course, but more successful than you might think

That's great but the police can only make arrests if anything happens, a lot of times I think trouble can be spotted before it happens against Fleetwood at our place before kick off a group of about 50 Fleetwood fans entered the Eric Whalley stand and made a run of sorts towards the Accrington fans sat in the same stand , stewards stopped them but I said to those sat near me I would have moved them into the coppice and thrown the ringleader,s out , but they were allowed to stop were they were and we all know what happened after.

its morons that stop the idea of not having segregated grounds. its the morons that caused this to happen in the first place and continuing with this problem that costs clubs thousands every season. would like to bet these also do not watch the game for the full 90 minutes but roll up for other things in the first place. problem is its seem to have got worse than it was pre virus also.

that might not be too bad an idea if it was a certain type of away supporter that it happened too. away fans are not a full reflection of any clubs total fanbase as the percentage of idiots are much higher away from home. just think of mansfield town for starters and stockport if we ever have to play either again.
