Crowd Trouble

[Rich6by7]

Toilet wreckers: stupid enough to think they're making a statement by vandalising an important facility in Birmingham's ground. Also stupid enough to think that it's an acceptable practice "because they did it at our ground".

Clever enough to know that it's the one part of the ground that won't be covered by CCTV, thereby making any case against any individual unprovable, leaving nothing to stop them coming back and wrecking them again at the next league fixture.

It's like the faceless twat who thinks that hammering on my bedroom door at 3am and running away is funny (I live in halls of residence). Thinks he's the big man but doesn't have the balls to look me in the eye.

I doubt anyone responsible for this vandalism is reading this, but if you are, take a long look at yourselves, and please either wise up or seek professional help.

I cannot understand why the police cordon was lined up immediately in front of the Villa fans. Surely it would have been better for them to be lined up across the penalty area line thus keeping a good few yards between both sets of supporters.  By letting the Blues get so close it made things worse as far as I could tell.

[Holtenderinthesky]

No, I don't really like going to the sty, but I don't want to miss a game either.

Only special people should be allowed to attend. *winky thingy*

I agree. 

Why should genuine football fans suffer because of the idiotic minority?  How could any football fan even suggest such a thing?  I'm sorry but the notion that we should be banned from attending a game of football because of the behaviour of a small minority is ludicrous.

[Pete3206]

Agree with the above.

Terrible night? Yes
Discraceful minority of fans? Yes
Shithole ground? Yes

Will I be at The Sty in January? Absolutely!

Before we get too high horse about it, if you watch this:

At around 3:10, you clearly see the flare comes from our end first.

Couldn't they have just gotten around the cordon then by going into the two side stands?

So what if the flare came from our end first.  It was the 1000+ who ran on to try and confront our fans which caused it all to kick off. 

[PaulTheVillan]

Apologies if these have been posted.

Look what some of our lot did.

Having just looked at the footage I think the whole thing has been a bit sensationalised.    A no point did the fans clash.  More a bunch of blues kids jumping up down waving thier phone cameras at the Villa.   Still not what the game needs.

I know, my point is, two wrongs don't make a right.

Some of their fans acted like absolute fucking idiots last night, but so did a lot of ours as well.

It's harder to claim the moral high ground when we've left the Sty with smashed up bogs (again), seats on the pitch, seats stamped through and god knows what else.

But what was our fan doing with a flare anyway? Would he have just took it home and tucked it away in the garage if they hadn't have invaded the pitch?

[Mazrim]

Blose dont have a monopoly on idiots but they do have a disproportionately high percentage considering their small fan base.

[Brend'Watkins]

This smashing up of toilet facilities has been going on for years now.  You would think that both clubs would invest in more durable ones to prevent this happening, same goes for the seating in away parts of the ground.

Agreed. Any of our "fans" throwing flares, throwing seats or smashing up toilets are as much scum as their lot. No difference.

There was one outside Rblock after the 0-0 earlier this season, someone must have a stockpile
