Segregation and Cover

and whats all this about removing the top of your coke bottle?

That's not a club policy, it's a ridiculous diktat from someone in officialdom - Conference, FA, police, or someone like that.

[FleetFanatic]

You'll find that the coke lid business is a conference ruling (something to do with an incident involving a thrown coke bottle at another club a season or two ago). If your club isn't following the instruction then why not? Most other clubs I been to seem to take your lid away.

Yup, Crawley are breaking Conference regs.

It is pathetic though, a steward made a point of making a small child remove their drinks bottle lid but turned a blind eye to some bloke just shouting out random swear words.

[Harry J Allstars]

Not just conference Premier League has to ennforce this as well.

 

Sorry about the poor toilet situation this is not acceptable.

 

Not sorry about the weather this is out of our control (unfortunatly), as for Segregation and lack of cover at the away end bring an umbrella. I couldn't understand Barnet why do they let away fans under the roof and those home fans had to sit on the green uncovered seats.

I think what he was trying to say was that although he swears himself, in comparison it seems nasty when you take some kiddies bottle top away.

If you want to talk about compairsons of course then you could say America locking people up without trial because they "might" be terrorists is bad even in comparison to swearing.

And in my eyes pointing out someone else's spelling mistakes is by far the worst thing anyone could do ever. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/whistling.gif" alt="" />

Have to agree with it being a silly rule but then the stewards can inforce certain things but swearing no chance. Not Unless there are complaints a bout a certain person or people.

Taking the tops from peoples bottles is ridiculous.

 

If you wanted to throw something at a player why would you queue up to buy a drink? Would it not be easier just to bring some missiles from home? When was the last time a steward checked the contents of every fans pocket? Surely someone must bring something in that could be used as a missle.

 

How long will it be before we are searched upon entering, and having our shoes taken from us as they might be used to throw onto the pitch?

 

How far will it go.

Mobile Phones?

Money?

Keys?

Small Children?

[Harry J Allstars]

I have a swiss army knief on my key chain.

 

When England played Italy in 97 for the Qualification for 98 some of our fans had their house keys taken off of them.

From a female point of view - the segreation was unfair to crawley supporters - we were told we couldn't sit down if we wanted, there was no ladies toilet in the away end and the one we could use was dank and dismal, and whats all this about removing the top of your coke bottle?

Sympathise with you - from the point of view of a male supporter who often goes to away games with an elderly parent & a frail in-law. We've given up announcing ourselves as away fans. We find an enclosure with seats & try & get as close to the end with the away supporters as possible. I keep my comments pretty low key, but still have to shout like a loony <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/redbanana.gif" alt="" /> when the Fleet score. However, the presence of my senior companions dissuades even the most savage home supporter <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/taz.gif" alt="" /> from objecting.

weren.t allowed to sit either - and it was my 12 year daughter who had her drink top taken away from her - yet there was a man allowed in with a huge flask!

... and there's the answer, killing two birds with one stone: don't get ripped off by the burger bar / snack bar & buy from Tesco's or suchlike before you go into the ground. It's cheaper & you get to keep your lid!

[Guest]

we'd bought the drink from home and the bottle top was taken by a stewardon the way in

[Harry J Allstars]

It's a bit harsh but if it is the rules then the only people braking those rules are Crawley Town for not enforcing them.

[Guest]

i would have thought that it was breaking some kind of rule not having adequate toilet facilities and seating available

[David Holden]

There is no requirement to have seating available for away fans. There probably should be, but that's for the Conference to sort out.

[Guest]

and toilets?

[Paulo GNFC]

I thought away fans were usually allowed in the seating area of the main stand. Has this since changed following the problem with the Woking idiot a few weeks ago?

[Bate'o]

Reading the Crawley forum, it seems that some of their supporters were allowed in the seated areas. Although it seems that the stewards were being selective about who they allowed in.

If the club have to have certain facilities to fit into Conference criteria and have have not got these fecilities then we should be relegated. Anyone got any idea about this?
here maybe Seeing how we have not been relegated then I guess were doing okay.

I do feel for you and your daughter, the toilet facilities at Stonebridge are diabolical and we should be punished but as we keep taking the lids off little kiddies then I guess were doing okay.

It's all just a case of burocracey
