Pidge Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 So typical of this regime. They have been loosing crowd numbers and infact for some long time not seeing any fans. Their way of dealing with this is not to thank and welcome the fans for turning up, then saying please avoid “the bad behaviour “. Their customer service strategy is to warn people they are committing a criminal act and will be arrested. Not sure how well the “big stick” approach works when you are trying to recruit more support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor evil Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 They always issue statements like this after any sort of crowd control problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Branston Pickle Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Are they advised to by the police, or is it done off their own bat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans shouldn't be getting on the pitch (exception being promotion and what not). We saw what happened with grealish a few years back. You only need 1 idiot to cause problems....

LaticsPete Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Clubs have had to post notices like this in programmes and in the ground since the early 1900s ! Standard practice, sometimes at instruction of football authorities, sometimes to ward off penalties. Move along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonboy Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Think this is currently the least of our problems. Carry on as we are and there will be no fans left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never condone this kind of thing........however, a mass pitch invasion causing a game to be abandoned with a clear message and communication to the media as to why could finally be the catalyst for something to actually happen. We are going to be the next Bury if we are not careful. The “crimes” committed by Blitz and AlMo are fare more serious than a legitimate protest. Perhaps we call it “NO Extinction Rebellion” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcmetty Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I'm all for it. Direct action. Quickest route to getting the anger noticed. Plus if it hits AL in the pocket some also, even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolatic Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Normally, I'd never advocate pitch invasions because a) someone could get hurt, b) the club gets hit with a hefty fine and c) the players will certainly be affected by it. However, as long as there's a) no infighting, b) more money down the drain for Abdallah, hurting him in the pocket and c) with the players we've got, I doubt anything could affect the performances to make them worse, it could be the way to go. It will certainly get media attention and, let's be honest, we can't sink much lower. I've surprised myself thinking this way, but that's how pissed off I am with the way they are wrecking the club I have loved for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latics22 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Pitch invasions seems the way forward, only takes few. If it’s kids we still gets fine without any aggression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Highlight of the day to be honest, some of them kids did more in five minutes on the pitch than a couple of our players, hats off to each and every one of them and it isn't going to get any better for the clowns running the club, second home game of the season with that level of protest talks you all you need to know.
