Quote ="RebelRebel"Absolutely. My memory may be failing me here, but didn't we used to pay Fev on Good Friday in the 70's? I seem to recall that fixture being put forward because of all the agro caused by drunken fans (mostly Fev fans, of course...) having a full lunchtime on the lash.'"
That's right, drag Fev into this. Anything to deflect from your own club eh? Both sets of fans were causing trouble at the game so rather than stir things up with fans of a club who weren't involved in the match why not put forward solutions to get your own house in order?
It has to start at the games where there isn't a big aggressive confrontation between sets of supporters. Start by identifying the idiots who are stirring things up and being abusive, get them reported to the stewards and get the club to take action. As individuals become known then the stewards can be better placed to deal with these in the future. At a big game there are always going to be fans turning up to cause trouble but fans should help police their own support and let these yobs know they aren't welcome.Get a few burly blokes to have words with them and most of them will soon calm down. Leaving it until after the game when these individuals disappear until the next big game is too late as we at Fev have found.
