I thought we had checks in place to stop this sort of thing happening, but then when you have a third of the away end empty it's more likely to happen.......
Even worse is this fella in a position of power laying in to fans and having to be held back unprofessionally by his colleagues..... I doubt we will be using his services again. It caused Leeds fans to kick off with a siege mentality that put his work colleagues in danger.
They have a history of sitting in home end here is leeds fans getting a hiding at Bloomfield road for the same thing
He was taunting the Leeds fans at one point and ended up scuffing with another steward who told him to knock it off
They did.. there was quite a few round there. Bloke that started it was leeds and ended up getting put on his arse. They were really quiet til everyone went home as well...
Not being funny but weren't we all proud of reds fans who got into home end at Bristol last season. Pot and kettle springs to mind.....
Theres a difference between getting in home end to party and getting in home end and offering every one out...
Give over getting in home end and acting a prat like the Blackpool video I shared, and when alot of our fans went at 2 nil then giving it big one is different.
It’s wrong to sit in the home end & if they’ve celebrated or taunted Reds fans then they probably deserve a clip but it’s hard to be pissed off about it when there’s so many empty seats in the away end. They should be filled. If my team were pushing for promotion & the home team weren’t selling about a quarter of the away end & I couldn’t get a ticket I’d be fuming.
It looks bad for the steward on that video. Hope our club are quick to release a statement condemning his behaviour and making it known he won't be allowed back in Oakwell in any capacity ever again.
To be fair to the club as well I don't see what else they can do for games like this. Can't distinguish by postcode (I live in Leeds for example) and if someone who has a previous booking history buys a ticket for their Leeds supporting mate then it's really hard. Such fans should get a lengthy ban though if it is possible to identify who bought them for away fans.
‘Essex Whites’ FFS. A county well known for being retarded and a football club well known for being retarded. A match made in backwards heaven.
