Trouble in the East Stand??

[Ricster]

No mention in the MEN article, or in the comment from the club spokesman, about the Showsec goon being arrested for assaulting supporters. Perhaps he was one of the unattributed 'two other people' arrested.
Shoddy work.

They will have got that information from the police. Any journo would have asked if they were fans or stewards. I think the fact that it hasn't been answered by the police we can take that it is stewards.

The police are pretty quick in saying its a football fan(s) when an article like this appears, where as they would only be backing the story by saying its Showsec.

Awful idea.

was just a suggestion to try and create maximum impact, I'm more than open to other suggestions/ideas.

So the lads are top of the league with our best start to the season ever and playing some of the best football i personally seen us play ever and what are we suggesting..........a boycott of a game! YCNMIU !!

Football is indeed a funy game it seems!

Can you imagine someone trying to explain why no one is in the ground to Aguero or David Silva..........priceless.

Come on chaps, i agree with some actions against Showsec based on the evidence ive seen and heard but a partition to the club requesting a firm and positive response should do it...... we have a history of listening to the fans.

read it back it was a suggestion!

but if Aguero and Silva being confused is more important to you than the welfare of fans then ok, but I'm sure they'd have plenty of respect for us if they were told unbiasedly why we weren't there, if you get my drift.

So you reckon a thread on here and a Facebook page will result in an empty ground for the next match?

I think this is the funniest thing I've ever seen on this forum.

Not your finest hour, JMW. Not your finest hour.

Bored of this now.... constantly reiterating the same points to those of us who think this man was in the wrong.

He wasn't, legally he is allowed to remain standing anyway so what's the issue?
and don't quote those FA guidelines... they are exactly that - Guidelines... not LAW

Why wasn't I told to Sit?
Why wasn't anyone in the away end/SS told to sit?

Because they are in Standing areas?????

Well we where told that 109 was a standing area.

Nobody complained around him, if they did they did it indiscreetly.

if you want to sit by all means, plenty of seats around the stadium, the most popular areas for tickets is these blocks where everyone stands.... because people want to stand there.

For other fans to be complaining about this fan he must have been behaving inappropriately. When asked to leave he refused, therefore he had to be ejected.
The steward needs further training.
The supporter should get a lifetime ban.

 

[SWP's back]

Well.

Should be interesting tomorrow night.

Standing in the SS, 111, 110 and the away end.(relocations) That leaves 109.

Will the club force the issue or relent?

At a guess, they'll relent tomorrow and force the issue against Wolves.

From Showsec:

Date: 17th October 2011
Official Showsec statement
RE: Ejection at Manchester City FC on Saturday 15th October 2011
Showsec’s operational role at Manchester City Football Club falls within the club’s match day
operation. In this instance we were directed by the club to eject a supporter for persistent
standing, which contravenes the ground regulations and followed repeated complaints from
other supporters in the area.
The ejection was carried out in line with the club’s policy and upon the gentleman’s refusal to
leave the ground we requested the support of Greater Manchester Police in order complete
the process.
The company will continue to support the policies of the club and any eschewing
investigations.
ENDS

Shall we just stand our ground then?

By law, for a breach of the peace, a security official does not have the power to detain, so should we just smack the fucker square in the beak and claim self defence because a fan has been assaulted first?

Cos that is the way it could turn out after the clubs lies in their statement.

obviously you wasn't there.....

I never seen/heard anyone complaining, infact everyone around him was supporting him.

Not your finest hour, JMW. Not your finest hour.

really?

did I mention anything that even remotely suggested that a thread on here and a facebook page would result in anything, let alone an empty stadium?-No.

Did I imply we would even pursue this idea and did I offer it up in any other way than a suggestion?-No.

Did I suggest we do it at the next match, if at all?-No.

Funniest thing you've ever seen on this forum? You can't read many threads then.

Not my finest hour? Least you imply that I have enlightened this board with some great posts at some point unlike yourself who's repetitive misery and boring old fart syndrome leads to the vast majority labelling you as "dismal" and so enamoured with you that frankly a very small minority missed you when you pissed off for a month in a huff last year.

So, instead of trying and miserably failing to pick at a poster why don't you read the thread and contribute to the topic and stop making a complete and utter arse out of yourself?
