Yids kicked out for standing at Brum, report needed

[PeterboroughYids]

The FSF & SUSD are obviously not happy at the way the stewarding took place on Saturday and they want to put a report together to pass onto the authorites. They need reports from the guys who were kicked out for standing so if that was you, make yourself known...
All help greatly appreciated, this kind of action could one day help to bring safe standing areas into English football grounds

what actually happened PYid?

 

[theburtonshelf]

the entire allocation was standing! how can they throw ppl out

 

[JamesTheYiddo]

Yeah, what happened?

 

[PeterboroughYids]

25 fans kicked out for standing when other parts of the ground and 95% of the other tottenham fans stood throughout. The stewards were just shouting SIT DOWN SIT DOWN and threatening to eject people who stood. they don't need to to this at all and the FSF and SUSD want reports...

 

[RoyalFlush]

I was near the front and the stewards kept on harrassing us to sit down, but none of us wanted to. So whenever they started giving us grief we just started singing 'Stand Up! If you hate Arsenal!' :-D

Absolute disgrace how they expect you to sit down during a match. Yes the seats are there but all fans should be given a choice as to whether to sit or stand, and to be honest most away fans prefer to stand, just adds to the atmosphere.

 

[Johnspur]

It's the law that away fans must stand for 90 minues, at least I think it is.

 

[guy]

Yeah but how can you whinge about being kicked out when theyve warned they will eject you?!?!

 

[nightgoat]

I saw one guy being led away in cuffs, but that was only after a couple of minutes, no idea what it was for... One guy a row or two in front of me had a couple of coppers take him away for a word, but he came back not long after...

Regardless of whether or not you've been told to sit down, you can't kick a few people out when virtually the entire away end is stood up the whole game... I only sat down at half time... :shrug:

Hi mate,

met you in the pub, You left with my mate Loz and we didnt see him till the game. He had been thrown out beofre kick off and that was the last we saw of him. Do you know what happened?

 

[Tel Boy]

I saw somebody being ejected from the Birmingham end in cuffs, and the stewards were continually telling the home fans to sit down.

The whole Spurs end was standing, I was in the middle and did not see a steward or anybody being thrown out. Would be harsh to eject somebody when everyone was standing.

Hi mate,

He was steaming and followed us to Hennesseys, we thought that was pretty weird considering he was with you and we didn't ask him if he wanted to come! Hennesseys had a big mixture of fans in there, some looked like you wouldn't want to mess with them so we just tried to blend into the background. He was being pretty loud so we did our best to avoid him and after one drink we made it clear that we were leaving and he wasn't coming with us!

I'm sure he is a nice guy and all be we didn't fancy getting into a fight due to some pissed dude that we don't even know. As it turns out we got jumped anyway and when I was trying to find my mates after the trouble he stumbled past me on the way to the ground.

oh and he was at the station at around six I think...

 

[NickHSpurs]

As it turns out we got jumped anyway

Eek What happened?

 

[PeterboroughYids]

Eek What happened?

10-15 Brum meatheads shouting Zulu decided to lay into us when walking towards the ground. A few sore heads but nothing serious, lucky we are good runners!

 

[millhouse]

Thats why I don't go away!

Oopss got a ticket for Man City

The first 5 rows to the right of the goal were constantly being told to sit down by stewards, every so often a fair few would sit down, however everyone else started singing stand up if you hate Arsenal, and so they would simply stand up, so the stewards decided to pick a few people out and simply eject them from the ground, this I think made most Spurs fans even more angry, all we wanted to do was celebrate the cup win and have a good time. We weren't harming anyone at all, no one was pushing forward we were just standing to get a better view and get behind our team, furthermore without the big screen, unless you stand you couldn't really see what was going on down the other end of the pitch. It seemed completely ridiculous to eject people, it was just a few stewards on a power trip, it was completely unecessary on their part.

Sorry about that mate, he always does a dissapearing act. He did the same at wembley for 2 hours we missed our coach home and had to wait for him.
Oh yes and always likes a sing song too.

At some grounds now they are reducing the tickets they give to away clubs whos fans stand.

So next season at Birmingham they only send us 1000, tickets, who is then to blame.

Clubs all have a licence and it includes that fans must sit in their ground, if they do not control the fans, they can get the ground closed.
