WBA/Wolves trouble - are you watching City?

Yeah I’ve seen the white Stone Island top kid getting a couple of little slaps. But the way the commentator was describing it, sounded like it was 80s style mayhem going on.

Not seen any other clips of any interest, apart from the bloke on the deck, who looked like he might have had a truncheon on the head.

If that was the grand total of the disorder, fuck knows why it took them over half an hour to get the game going.

I thought the same, made out like there was some serious disorder but seems a bit exaggerated esp arrest numbers and minor injuries. Even the white SI clown is basically just being removed from that section by older heads, a few digs aside. Perhaps the players were refusing to go back out until their families were removed or confirmed safe?

I reckon that was far worse than yesterday. There were hundreds of Blues in their end at points there were pockets of fighting going off in several different parts of the ground. Carnage outside as well.

Yesterday was nothing you don't see when Utd/Liverpool come to The Etihad, the main violence was the cops attacking WBA fans. The medias wet dream , one up from working-class lads singing non PC songs

We had 9 seats in the side stand. Didn't jump around but they knew we were City. Having a few meant they didn't fancy having a go probably. We were there the whole match.

Seen the you tube clips, with a lot of City fans at the back of the Sentinel stand, they got sussed obviously and took a few smacks, one lad in particular

I live on the Island and my nippers U14's played a team in Pompey. Couple of the lads wore Saints tops as thats who they support. Adult men, Dad's, were calling them Scum cunts all game. Hatred is definitely the word.

My brother in law lived on Telephone road very near Fratton park and when he got married to a local woman Harry Redknapp had just left Pompey for Saints. That evening at the venue it was held in was mental. All the guests including women and kids were chanting Harry Redknapp is **** among other songs about their hatred of Southampton. My B.I.L who doesn't even like football was pretty bemused.

Kicked off royal in their main stand but we didn't start it, and we weren't going anywhere

Only carnage outside because they were lobbing bricks and rocks into the coach park, hitting fans including women.
They soon backed off when they gone run back up towards the ground

If you go in the home end as an away fan and don’t keep quiet you deserve a shellacking. I’ve done several home ends and always kept shtum. It’s an unwritten rule that most fans accept and understand.

You often get sussed out even if you keep quiet as you don't cheers at the right time or join in with their songs or celebrations if they score. Happened to me at Blackburn in our 4-1 promotion game. I was told if I kept my head down I'd be okay and I did. The funny thing is the lad to my left was a Blue as well so I had a kindred spirit there at least.
 
The biggest problem was allowing so many West Brom fans from behind the goal to get involved by coming around to that stand. That is just poor policing and poor stewarding. There were probably 3 wolves fans in that bit in total so they came round all fired up with no one to fight and it looked 20 x worse than it was. You would think 50 people had been arrested the way the media reported it.

Agreed. They were just chucking any masonry off that shit heap. They were not so brave when City broke out of the cordon.

They got run over the bridge and down towards the roundabout out to the M6.

Saw a City minibus mount the pavement near the retail park and drive some sjokies over a hedge....bloody funny !!

What I am saying is city do sell to any1 when tickets go on open sale, city could make sure that tickets go to city fans if those fans have a history of buying tickets say 5 games a season

I hear you bud. However, how do we grow our match going fan base this way?

How do all of the day trippers get a ticket, so as they spend a fortune in the club shop?

What about fans who live overseas or fans who can only afford 1 game a season?

Whether you care or not about the above, the club will have to take these factors into consideration

Plus, haven’t you ever been in an away end or got a ticket in our end to watch with mates of rival clubs? I know I’ve done both without any trouble whatsoever
