Trouble in the East Stand??

[mancmackem]

already made a big banner for tomorrow
that says:

SHOWSEC
OUT!
M.C.F.C

who wants to raise it for when the teams come out?

I'd do it halfway up the block as you won't get any joy at the bottom, and may have issues releasing from the top. Row J will accept it with open arms ;-)

I sit above 109 and watched it happen. I am just an average fan who avoids aggro but was incensed by the incident, got me screaming and swearing and baying for Showsec blood. Because it seemed that an old guy was being picked on when everyone else was standing (including the villa fans) and one particular steward was wading in and enjoying it. People say its a seating area someone was standing, so they don't understand why fans are upset, but it just seemed so unjust and the stewards and police almost caused a riot when it could of been dealt with in so many better ways.

Be best in 109 but release it in the South Stand if you are there, all Brothers in arms.

I'm not teaming up with those South Stand fuckers. Would rather team up with the M.I.B.

Re: Re: Trouble in the East Stand??

so is it correct the club has terminated fletcher as head of security

If he put out that statement then it wouldn't surprise me. I can't imagine that Vicky Kloss approved it. If she did then she wants shooting. Like Cook's "hacker" it can be easily shown to be nonsense (and possibly defamatory as well although the victim wasn't mentioned by name).

Fletcher still appears on the City site under the role we know him for. Completely agree that it's a terrible response from City.

I know for a fact that some of these cunts that we as a club employ to 'steward' enjoy their day of taking the piss out of blues

Lets just forget about manhandling an old man with heart problems after he reminded them 5 times, whether 109 is standing or sitting, whether there was complaints from people in the block and how they are aggressive jumped up bullies ect for 1 second.

The one thing i just cannot understand in all of this is their "strategy" for solving the problem.

Now when there is a problem, logic and common sense tells you you have to go to the route of the problem to solve it. So in this case the problem is persistent standing in a block, now i may not have University degree's or even good GSCE grades but surely the route of the problem in this case is the first row, or the 2nd or whenever the standing begins. If someone stands in front of you and you have paid £40 for a ticket, you are going to stand too. Now this guy on the video looks like he was 3 or 4 rows up, maybe even more, so why are they targeting him when it is not his fault, what is he supposed to do? sit down and look at someone's arse whilst listening to the crowd noise or checking his phone to see how the game is going on? No, they targeted him because he was old and he looked like he would be an easy person to reject to make an example out of which is a joke and everyone who is involved in this decision should hang their heads in shame.

The whole thing stinks and no amount of complaining on here or petitions on the press will do anything about it. This is modern football, you pay £40 to be treated like shit and if you don't like it they will ban you, there is no freedom of speech or freedom to do anything once you step into a football ground and it will never change because football fans are too selfish to do anything about it.

Football fans get treated like shit because they are mugs, you see the change in attitude from the football authorities when you hit them where it hurts the most.....the pocket but this will never happen.

He was on the 2nd row with no one in front of him stood up.
