Trouble in the East Stand??

[Dogtanian]

This sort of heavy handed bullying makes me sick to my stomach.I could only see an incident happening from the south stand,watching it close up makes my blood boil and ashamed at the way security is being handled at MY club.And it is OUR club,we have been there for years,before the money.

Before it they were glad of our support and were more likely to be throwing us IN rather than out!

Time for a pre match protest outside the ground?

Protest?

How about just resorting to their tactics?

Violence with violence.

see what???? what did you see??

See them try this shit in the heart of the Kippax. Wouldn't stand for it.

How about we defend our own, see how they like it?

see what!!! i dont see anything when i watch it.

wrong see 1.1 quote

I think you're seriously misinterpreting this regulation:

1.1 that fails (or in the Club's reasonable opinion is likely to fail) to comply with these Ground Regulations or any reasonable instruction issued by a police officer or authorised steward

This means if you fail to respond to their instruction you can be ejected... but only be a police officer.

Showsec, you're fucked.

1.1 that fails (or in the Club's reasonable opinion is likely to fail) to comply with these Ground Regulations or any reasonable instruction issued by a police officer or authorised steward

security and stewards are not allowed to touch members of the public unless they feel they are under threat or the general public is under threat. that regulation refers to giving warning etc at which point if its ignored you involve the police.. i have done the job for years and years...im sorry to say it but the old man has a good case also i hope he is ok after what hes been put through...my club has made me ashamed

I feel fir that old guy, really hope he is ok.

He is. He was revived at the scene, taken to First Aid, and then escorted out of the ground at half time surrounded by stewards and police with quite a lot in the concourse chanting 'shame' at the GMP and Showsec. Me Da asked him whether he was alright and he said he was.

If it's the stewards first offence the sentencing guidelines for ABH that causes alarm or distress is a custodial sentence of 6 weeks at a starting point.

The most shocking aspect of the video though is GMP watch this unfold and do nothing at all to intervene.

I'm glad we are now believed Skash, well done on the video.

That guy posed a huge risk/threat to others didn't he? 60 odd years old, with a heart condition, asking to be left alone sat in his seat.

Shame Fletcher, shame on you and the people you control. This has been brewing for a LONG time, and you allowed your contracted staff to develop the situation to the end result today. I hope you feel sad watching that three minute video, and take it as a wake up call to prioritise the situation. Take it by the scruff of the neck and NEVER allow it to happen again.

Think you will need to come down from your control room and sit there for a game, see for yourself how the block is run with your own eyes apart from through a monitor screen. Imagine that was your dad stood on the old Kippax whilst you eat your gobstopper as you said in the previous letter, how would you feel? How do you feel being a Manchester City fan seeing a fellow fan exposed to that sort of treatment on your watch?

Much like they stood back and watched Hillsborough unfold.

Had that guy died today......

The steward who threw the punches was arrested I believe. He was described as having the sides of his head shaved and that matches the description of the guy I saw taken away by the police in handcuffs. They were laughing with him as they cuffed him.

The rat-faced Neville lookalike instigates a lot of it.

I'll remember his face.

that video is shameful, the steward that instigates it deserves a slap.
bet he wouldn't do that to a bigger lad, cos he knows what would happen.
police stood there and did fuck all! they should have stopped them man handling an old man with a heart condition, sickening!
you could see the guy sat down, not being aggressive, or abusive, then they treat him like that, and for what? standing up!
well done to all the fellow blues for sticking up for the guy, you did us proud.
now hopefully with this happening the club will sit up and take notice, some of the stewards are nothing more than bullies, picking on the weaker, now i'm not saying they are all like that, some do a great job, but the club needs get the idiots out of our club.
