ChapSmurf Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 14 hours ago, Manwë said: And I've walked down aisles of supermarkets and staff have been stacking shelves,. There's segregation in football because it's 2021 and people, authorities and the police think the average fan is just one step away from becoming a violent criminal. It's why the police may not attend your house if you get burgled, but why dozens may stand outside an away pub to watch people drink a regulated, taxed, legal substance. Your post, well meaning I'm sure, is in the line of thinking that a football fan is basically a coiled spring ready to kick off in to violence at any moment. What if? What if? No, not at all. In fact the opposite. 99.99% of fans are decent and well behaved. They may like a bit of banter - I certainly do - but even with a few pints of stupid juice inside won't over step the mark. I'm not, and wasn't, suggesting any of our fans who went on the pitch would strike a player. My point was that if you don't go on the pitch in the first place, it won't happen at all. Look at that moron from L**ds who ran on at Hillsborough and smacked Kirkland. A Birmingham fan did the same to Enckelman and Grealish got a clout too. I just don't condone running on to the pitch during a game, that's all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying it is acceptable to run on to the pitch? Where did I come even close to saying that? I have stated at least twice that fans should not go on the pitch. For me it's a question of degree if its passive then let it go, if its violent then throw the book at them. But my overriding advice for what it's worth is to keep off the pitch. Would you have approved of all the fans who went on against Wycombe to banned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say you had said, or were saying, it's okay. I was just asking the question to which you have clarified your position. To be fair to you, it's what I thought you would say. I've never suggested anyone gets banned though either. That's a line that is coming from the club - in a round about way. It's against the law to go on to the pitch, and whilst none of our fans did anything wrong, the fact they were there is technically illegal. Would I ban them? No, but I think the club have to make the statement they have. Would I have banned the fans who went on the pitch against Wycombe? See my last comment. Like you, my overriding advice is to stay off the pitch. My comments yesterday were based on an absolute extreme that has, in the past, happened at football grounds including our own. It's not what I would want any of our fans to be involved in. Yesterdays pitch invasion was well mannered but nonetheless, a stupid thing to do. It could incite trouble with the opposite supporters and lead to either fines and/or reduced allocation. That was the gist of what I was saying.
