JulieH Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 11 minutes ago, Mr Popodopolous said: I think Cups might have different rules regarding allocations IIRC, but yeah in the League 100% think so too. @JulieH Would be a progressive initiative IMO. Might add also, if it's possible- and I get it might not be possible and it wouldn't be in your hands- but I believe Reading FC had an initiative called a 'Stewards Forum'. In particular Senior Stewards, Safety Officer, Deputy Safety Officer etc being part of it might help too, help increase mutual understanding etc. It’s certainly that type of presentation that they would fit iinto, I will ask the safety officer and see if it is something either him or some of his staff would also like to be involved in . Very much a work in progress at the moment but very often a lot of fans concerns on here can be addressed once they know the systems that are in place by police and the safety team regarding planning , policing and stewarding a match.

Not sure if fans would want this but some other forces have done it with success and great feedback ! Will there be nibbles ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better atmosphere we make more cash and if we (the other 23,000) can’t out sing them then that’s our poor showing. Blackburn had the same and for a Sunday I thought the atmosphere was pretty good.

wendyredredrobin Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 I don't really understand why for games where we are not going to fill the ground, we don't let away fans have the whole Atyeo. Why turn down the revenue? And simply taser any pitch invaders. They won't do it twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshtonPark Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Think some may need to look at the bigger picture here, the club need to keep the crowd under 25k over 4 games is it?

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Of course Villa fans will try to have brought tickets/perhaps have brought tickets for a week on Friday in home ends- it's fairly obvious. They are a historically big club with fans across the country (next tier down from Leeds, who in turn are a tier down from Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal). Plus geographical mobility- i.e. people moving across the country. By the way if we reach the PL, expect this problem to be a recurring one- remember the Leeds game 2011? Though ticket procedures are a million times better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hear this all the time when "big" clubs come to AG and although there will probably be a few in corporate, I doubt many will be in home ends. The club have tightened up on these scenarios over the past few years with regard to sales history, postal areas etc especially, as you say, after the Leeds game a few years back.

Let's hope so- quite a lot of Brummies in and around Weston, dunno if that's just holiday makers or they have moved down there, but it becomes harder to detect if they have BS postcodes. Not even impossible that some will take in a few City games, or have a membership and then buy in home ends- this isn't exclusive to us btw, it happens up and down the country away fans in home ends, but especially when bigger clubs are away to teams.

Agree it does get a bit tiresome, it rarely happens, and 99% of opposition fans would be sensible enough to STFU anyway The Leeds lad was an exception as he was a pissed up idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
