The problem is that not everyone banned / suspended has broken a rule. They're being thrown out for ridiculous things or it's mistaken identity with the smoking in the toilets at half time. That's definitely happened twice and I daresay more often. Some of the Stewards lack basic intelligence and just lob people out without thinking about it first.
The rules are not clear as well (yes we all know about violence, fireworks, hatchets, rascism etc) - opposition fans often sing utd songs and some wear utd shirts. At ajax, there was a MUFC banner displayed the whole game in the ajax end. Holding a rivals football shirt up is small change in comparison IMO. City make a big thing of guidetti in the programme and city square - some ajaxs fans at the match were not impressed with this.
Its unfair that someone gets a ban without being aloud to air there view.
Heard today that this has still not been resolved, the lad who was thrown out doesnt know if he will get a reprieve, a 3 match ban or loose his season ticket. Surelys this cant be right! As a paying customer (supporter) to be refused entry into the stadium without being able to give your version of events in a timely manner is poor. This isnt a good 'customer service' and city certainly arent supporting there supporters. The lad should get to air his side of things before any punishment is dished out!!
