Mr Popodopolous Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Putting aside the potential for problems away from the ground, which basically is a case of the club can't control the uncontrollables. 1) Tangible Police presence and senior stewards in that corner between Dolman-Atyeo from minute one. 2) No getting noticeable (well the numbers differ, at least a couple of hundred) amounts of fans late in with the escort. That inflamed it further IMO. Oh and a high level of alertness for and zero tolerance towards away fans found in home ends. Quite simply 'You get found as an away fan in the wrong end, you go out'. Adhere to these and it should be pretty trouble free inside the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eardun Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 And a police presence at Parson St station. V Swansea the snowball fight there was relatively light hearted, but it could easily have gone the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get a minute @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO could you check how many have been sold in the home ends so far including STHs? Leeds' haven't announced details for it yet but they'll sale the 3,700 should the police allow that ( @JulieH?) so can add that figure immediately. Good spot . I always look at e34 in dolman as an indicator . The tickets are always available for sale there where as lansdown stand restricts sales / sections . There’s 109 left for Leeds( March game ) and over 300 in the same section for a game tomorrow ..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 I heard there wasn't a hard and fast regulation on Under 16's hypothetically coming in unaccompanied...but all clubs do it to be safe basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safeguarding or age issues notwithstanding, could give the 10% entitlement and then after segregation a thousand City fans in there- like the Manchester games. Could give us that little edge playing towards our fans at both ends- should have done it v Wolves last season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair we won't sell as many tickets as we did for the Manc games, but having home fans at both ends rather than a wall of nearly 4,000 noisy Yorkies is surely an edge for us ?

Definitely. @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO Mark Ashton said last Monday about how valued your feedback was so it’s definitely one worth raising. If there are home tickets on sale in the Atyeo I’ll be transferring my season ticket into there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meh Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Buying a ticket for a friend. As I’m an S/T holder do I get membership rates for this ticket or not - ie can I save him a fiver or is it same price whether I get it or he does himself?

Would definitely give us an edge in those bigger games tbh. For certain games I don't see the point but v Leeds, WBA, Derby, Wolves and possibly Birmingham? Yeah- absolutely. 1 hour ago, Leveller said: Is there actually any rule against an away fan say buying a ticket in the Lansdown? For example if they’re a Brummie living in Somerset? It's a good question that. I think yes, not least due to the issues it can and does cause. Don't have the exact rule to hand but if someone is in the wrong end, they're likely to be removed for a) Public order reasons and b) For their own safety! I suppose the 2 mesh don't they.

I’m actually thinking of a neighbour of mine who is a Wolves fan. I don’t think there are any public order issues if the people involved are sensible. If you dress neutrally and keep your trap shut, you are not going to attract any trouble. Of course, if you wear a shirt, celebrate when you score and talk a lot in a distinctive accent, then you’re an idiot and shouldn’t try it. But I don’t think away fans necessarily should or can be kept out, frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
