Jerseybean Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 I’m all for making grounds safe and family-friendly, however, there is much to be done to achieve this, https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/ℹ-love-football-protect-the-game/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Interesting that they say discriminatory behaviour, I think we know what they mean but if they are going to create rules that needs to be better defined. I absolutely show a preference for Bristol City at Ashton gate and it's certainly not based on competence so by definition I discriminate against the opposition, I do not provide equality of support. Does that make me liable to a ban? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that make me liable to a ban? It does put "discriminatory behaviour" under the heading of "Criminal behaviour". To the best of my knowledge, choosing not to cheer for Sunderland or Accrington Stanley is not yet currently a criminal offence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUTOR Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 I don’t know how I feel about this. On the one hand it’s taking early measures to protect the game, stopping the wildfire of hooliganism that we’ve seen spread so quickly in the past, but on the other some mistakes that could lead to a criminal record are minor in comparison to what you’d need to do to be given one outside of a football stadium. I’d be interested to hear alternative suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Geoff Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Therefore, we are working with clubs to highlight the important role that fans, clubs, players and coaches all have to play in helping to create a safe environment. Like expecting the best part of 1000 fans to collect their tickets at an away ground (Wigan next week). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocking Red Cyril Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 So when the kids go on the pitch are they to be arrested and then their parents rounded up and both prosecuted and have stadium bans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
