CITY: SHOWSEC, Atmosphere, & Blatant Bullying.

I was fourth row in 109 for four seasons (2010-2014) and it was always an argument with the stewards about standing. 109 is the block where they have decided that standing has to stop. It's annoying but you can see their point. If everyone stands in 109 it will then Start to spread into 107. At some point they've got to make seating to be enforced.

I moved into the south stand lower two seasons ago. Everyone stands and it's a great atmosphere. People in 109 who want to stand should look at relocating. It's about £100 cheaper as well!

It's not easy to relocate 10 people though
 
What we need is something to shock the club. Fans want to watch the team which is hardly surprising as we're in the middle of our best ever spell in terms of trophies and average league position. Consequently boycotts or walking in five minutes late etc just won't work. What we can do is just sit there in silence until the club acts. Pep wants more vocal support but the club, or Showsec seem to want a clamp down on those willing to stand and sing. Get Pep on our side. The problem with this is that we will then have to make more of a noise when Showsec are back in their boxes.

The club seriously need to do something because they are right on the edge of a really large incident occuring if it continues like this. If Peter Fletcher is still around (I thought he had retired) he needs to have a serious rethink. Standing at a football match is not illegal, it is a civil matter that can be dealt with by ejection if it safe to do so (in extreme circumstances). However, you cannot forcibly eject someone if it is going to cause them injury, on that video there are at least 3 Showsec staff that have commited a criminal offence as the man was clearly being assaulted. That is illegal and he should be going to the relevant people about it first thing, it needs investigating properly and the staff commiting offences should have charges brought against them in my opinion. The sooner the Spanish double act piss off back to Barcelona the better as the club is losing all of its identity very quickly.

We all know it's the club. And Showsec's staff are sent in to be the cannon fodder. While their paymasters look on from the directors box.

But it's the double standards that irk the fans. Specific Showsec stewards will target individual fans, they will harras them, then drag them out en-masse, along with other City stewards, and the Police. While this is going on other fans are still standing in tbe same isle, and throughout the block. Sorry, but what the f*** is all that about!?

And let's be honest, when some of Showsec put on that yellow jacket, they suddenly think they are above the law, regardless of what they are told. And think they can behave how they want, protected by the club and the Police.

Not only that, there have been numerous incidents of Showsec over stepping their remit, forceably dragging fans out, dragging them and leadng them up the steps, then gathering around those fans on the concourse(I've seen it myself), intimidating them, taking their season tickets off them, and marching them out of the ground.

If any fan behaved that towards a Showsec steward, they would be arrested.

One day all it will take is for one fan to sue the club, showsec, the steward/s involved, and the Police. Then that will open a floogate of claims. It will happen.

Hi JRB ,
FYI i spoke to Amanda Jacks (FSF) yesterday who is seeking advise from "Football Law Associates" on my behalf .
As a side issue i cannot believe 4 years on from my incident that NO progress has been made on this matter in respect of old people still being thrown out .
I think it is becoming very obvious that "old people" are easy pickings .

I believe you mate....point I was making was (I presume it's you),you was telling them you have a heart condition and they carried on regardless,the bastards....hope your ok.
 
In any other walk of life that video would have led to a public outcry.
Football fans are still paying for the mayhem of the 70's and 80's.
