City fan suffers broken leg after being attacked at Leeds game

An impending riot is happening sooner rather than later at our ground, money comes before safety, fucking disgusting how our loyalty is looked upon, I will love city till my dying day, but I despise what we’ve become off the pitch, I know we’re a buisness, but breaking point of how we’re treated is rapidly approaching
 
The press are told not to report anything or they lose reporting rights
It’s not like the media to shy away from reporting anything negative about City I’m sure they will be delighted They have rights due to the media’s contract with the PL it’s detailed in the PL handbook for a club to ban a journalist they have a very strong case
 
The club are entirely to blame here. I won’t blame the countless Leeds fans who ended up in the home end (I’ve done it following City).

Constant price rises. Horrific ticketing policies (flexi-gold/9 reseller touting partners). Generally treating legacy fans like shit has led to the situation where there are hundreds of tickets easily accessible to away fans.
Home end?
 
I was stood about 20M from this incident.
Table's & chair went flying. An old bloke was on the floor getting hit. There were 2 or 3 other scuffles right away. A much younger guy with long hair joined in and hit a couple of the old lads (and I think he was out of order given the age disparity).
It was all over in 30 seconds & no one near me had any clue who was who or that any Leeds were involved??
The two people with bloodied faces seemed OK ish to me after. Fuck knows how anyone had broken legs from what I saw
The old guy with the bald head in the white coat was the one who head butted the City fan, in the melee they both went to the floor on the spilt beer, the City fan has the suspected broken leg from the fall to the floor
 
This sounds horrendous. Who the fuck do three Leeds scum think they are kicking off in what i presume is a City end, or is it? As somebody rightly said years ago they wouldn't have dared even gone in there never mind start throwing their weight about. Is it the corporate are full of suits?
Ive not seen this reported anywhere except here yet, I'll have to have a look. It sounds like a total failure on staff and the police to leave these three scumbags sitting in the bar instead of ejecting them. The whole ticketing policy and the way we treat our own fans is an utter shambles and disgrace.
No it’s not a ‘corporate’ area full of suits. It’s usually normal fans
 
When you buy a season card for the home end, you should be protected from away fans being put in your area. A season card means you’re paying for a home supporters’ section, and the club has a duty to keep you safe. Stadium safety rules are based on keeping home and away fans separate because mixing them can cause trouble. If the club puts away fans in a home stand, they may not be giving you the experience you paid for, and it can break their safety responsibilities. You should expect to be in a safe, properly segregated home section when you buy your season card.

When you buy an individual ticket for the home end, you should still be protected from away fans being put in that area. Even if it’s not a season card, you are still paying for a home supporters’ section, and the club has the same duty to keep you safe. Stadium safety rules apply to every match and every ticket, not just season cards. Mixing home and away fans can create safety risks, so the club is expected to keep those areas properly separated.
 
And on the odd occasion they did, they got wasted. All through the 70s and 80s

Yes i was surprised to hear someone saying they got chased by them. They never gave a good account of themselves from my memory as you said. Absolute shite houses, okay on their own turf though.

Ah. I saw the white coat guy after and he was bleeding.
I didn't see him actually do anything though.
I only saw the long dark haired guy hitting people

9320 is my choice . Today I sat next to a bloke from Dublin with his son, it was his first game, his kid is a mad City fan, he was a Leeds fan, in the 70s 80s , a lovely bloke. Last match another American bloke with his kid also a First time City fan. Met all types , lots of foreign City fans, 12 30 matches on tv, really good food, live music today. People just having a day out.

I didn't see anything happen near me, no Leeds fans celebrating.
Is there 9330 in the lower level?

The ‘only’ time I recall them showing as a mob was the FA Cup game in 2001 or 2002. The came bouncing onto Claremont Rd after, but had been done over before they reached Heald Place School(opp Sherwood)
