Segregation - Thinking ahead

[seasidesteve]

i really dont think segregation is necessary as im sure our wonderful stewards will sort any problems out with their usual discretion and diplomacy

I think we should have segregation, as any big game always attracts the maybe not so wanted supporter, a supporter that will attend one game as season just to make a scene.

I was at the Ramsagte v Cirencester game, I can tell you that out of the 3 away fans that attended, 1 fan left with a broken nose, and another with a nasty cut above his eye,

This was caused by Rama fans, so I imagine there same fans will attend for the AFC game.

And as Porka said you do not want youngsters/families witnessing anyhting like that

 

I think Police will advise it, many fans see margate as a day at the seaside and still have Margate seafront as a place for a good beer etc.

 

If we ever took 500 away I would expect to be segregated, just a couple of nasty so called fans can spoil it for many more.

You are probably right Seaside! lol

I only saw the incident with the Cirencester fan just after it happened, but am told he was very provocative and ended up aggressively asking a Rams fan if he wanted trouble and eventually he got punched. I don't agree with any violence and I guess the Rams fan was fortunate no complaint was made to the police, but he literally asked for it. You can't control everyone.

 

AFCW claim the trouble at Bromley was caused by Bromley fans. Although Bromley do have a bit of a rep it should also be noted that a linesman was attacked at a recent AFCW-Hampton match so it might be well to have some sensible form of crowd control.

With respect Clive dont we have enough problems here without hearing about yours over there.Though I take your point about possible crowd control.Its going to be very cramped if they bring loads down here and restricting movement will undoubtedly help things much as I am against preventing the intermingling of fans.
