It would be unusual to take action before any impending court case so it looks to me this is a final outcome. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ward 3 367 Posted October 2, 2019 I know one of the men in the 'altercation'. He said to the other 'norwich fan' you're a man city fan arent you as he didnt get in on any chants or celebrate after the first goal. So the other man said I'm from norwich so what does it matter. Then he tried to attack the guy I know very well, they fell down a few rows of seats and then the man city fan BIT the norwich fan and left a massive bruise on him. The norwich fan walked down to the turnstile to talk to stewards as they saw it, then got told he was going to go to Wymondham for questioning. Then after that he got told he could get done for affray when he did nothing. The police released him 22 hours later with no charge. He has 14 days to appeal the decision. If NCFC dont agree with the events he tells them then they can extend his ban. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,520 Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) So one man was a Man City supporter who lives in Norwich (allegedly). So allegedly he got upset when confronted by the Norwich supporter and then lost his temper.....I wonder if that was because of being confronted or because his team were losing......either way it shows what can happen when supporters get in the wrong section. Really it shouldn't be a problem, but you get d*ckheads everywhere. If you think the person next to you is not a home supporter and is minding his own business, why confront them? He has nothing to cheer, his team are losing 2-0, he is not going to be happy being among Norwich fans, but is he going to be any problem to anyone? No.....unless confronted. If a fan of any kind is being a problem, tell stewards, if he is not being a problem, leave him be. Edited October 2, 2019 by lake district canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sod it, let's all ditch away seats and mix the stadium, let apparent home fans buy season tickets and sell tickets off per game and make money.

Do you not think that when you have away fans popping up in the home end, this is taking up a Norwich fan's chance to get a ticket? That surely isn't right, so in my view, there isn't anything wrong with finding out which side they're supporting and if they're in the home section as an away fan, seek to get them ejected via the right means, ie a steward. As for any violence to deal with this situation, then that of course isn't right. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would suggest that by the angle of the shadows that is the Barclay, and gven it is sunny it would have most likely have been in the second half just after Bryceland scored.

Of course I wouldn't like it but I have done it myself at away matches on occasion. I have sat with relatives who support other clubs in their home sections...was that wrong? I've sat with Man Utd supporters at Old Trafford because the away section was sold out. If the system allows it to happen, it will happen. In reality the issue only becomes an actual problem if the away fan or fans in the home section cause problems by being provocative or annoying to other fans. In this case we are told the fan was doing nothing wrong, he just wasn't cheering or applauding. Well in my book that is someone just minding their own business - and as the system somehow allowed him to be there, there should not have been a problem. All that needs to be done is to show a bit of common sense. Just because you are a home supporter in a home section does not give you the right to start confronting other fans over their allegiance. If a fan is causing a problem or likely to incite trouble by flaunting his support for the away team then fair enough, but it is not a war zone, it is a football match. It's a sport.

Nuff Said 4,938 Posted October 3, 2019 I'm kind of with Lakey on this one. I have a mate who supports Derby and (when we're in the same league!), we've alternated between sitting home and away at Pride Park. Neither of us causes a problem when sitting with the opposition - if challenged I'd say I was neutral though. As an aside, I have to say he has agreed to sit in the away end several years in a row though as we have atmosphere! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a sport. the question not raised is how did he get the ticket - are we to accept that ST's re being sold to who knows who on a regular basis - as aside from the financial aspects it means the club might have a problem cjecking up on who that person was at a later date, or whether he is banned from grounds etc You might as well say that it is ok to be in a bank wearing a mask because you are not causing trouble - a rather silly defence I would suggest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
