Trouble today?
« on: December 28, 2013, 10:57:00 PM »
There's a lot of word on Twitter about someone being stabbed outside the ground today. I can't see any outlets reporting it.

Did anyone see any trouble? Hoping it's not true.

Depending on what you believe there was a stabbing, glassing, bottling or shooting. Villa fans stating it was a Villa fan attacked and Swans stating it was one of theirs. Guy on Planet Swans states he knows the guy who left during the game and approached a Villa pub (Aston Hotel) and was attacked by Villa fans (3 arrests). He may have provoked the trouble.
Whatever - don't let internet rumours get in the way of the truth. Unfortunate whoever it was.

Ace roving reporter PWS was the first to report this incident on another thread.

I don't actually believe any of it. Which is why I came on here to ask.

This is what I mentioned in the match thread.
 He looked pretty fucked up. I thought he was a Swansea fan as there was a bloke by him with a Welsh accent who was very angry and upset arguing with the policeman treating him, on the bus people were saying it was a lone Villa fan jumped by a bunch of Swansea. As I walked past he wasn't moving and the police had a bunch of people handcuffed. Some women was a bit hysterical and saying she saw someone stabbed with a bottle. Looked very nasty and I really do hope he is okay whoever he supports.

Whoever the person supported that was attacked, it is disgraceful. We have been through this before and don't want a return of it.

Hope whoever was injured is ok.  It's only bloody football, no need for violence.

Saw a fellow on the floor being treated on Witton Lane and he seemed to be unconscious. I also saw a couple of lads being put in a van and they sounded like Brummies. Quite a few cops down there and it seemed like a serious incident had occurred, though not a large scale one.

We walked past all that as well. The chap was lying on the floor with his head being held up by his mate and there were a few lads sitting in a riot fan. All very grim.

i saw the bloke on the floor being treated on the way to Witton station but don't know what went on,but a  bunch of Swansea fans tried to get in the Aston Hotel about 13.30 giving it large as only 16-17 year olds with cans of carling can so would'nt be surprized if one of them had got a slap after the game.

How sad that this has occurred and lets hope whoever was injured makes a speedy recovery - it's not acceptable and I hope the culprits are punished accordingly.

WMP on twitter saying that no-one was stabbed and that was an unfounded rumour. 3 men arrested for affray and enquiries are ongoing.
