Re: Bristol toilets smashed
I am appalled by the behaviour these morons, of those that stood by and watched and those think it was an ok thing todo.Originally posted by tforturton View PostI've just got back from the Bristol game, and I'm pretty disappointed. Not just in the result, but in the actions of a group of idiots who thought it was okay to completely demolish the gents toilets in the away end. I hoped our fans were better than that.
Sinks and pipes were ripped off the walls, the suspended ceiling was brought down, with metal rods, insulation and broken tiles everywhere, the electric wiring was ripped out and hanging down - it looked like a bomb had gone off in there. What sinks were still intact were overflowing, as the plugholes were blocked and the taps forced open. There was water everywhere.
Okay, some will say it's just fun and games, but if someone did this to our away end, you'd never hear the end of it. It was appalling behaviour, and whoever did it should be ashamed. Rant over.
There are no excuses.
Reading through this thread there are suggestions of drugs and alcohol being a contributing factor. In which case action should be taken to reduce the impact of both.
It is bad enough that our club is heading in the wrong direction on the field after many years of relative success. During that time the reputation of our fans also reached new and well deserved heights. I’d like to maintain that whatever league we are in.

Re: Bristol toilets smashed
Apparently a Cardiff fan recorded those doing it then posted it on Twitter. There was a link on another football forum but the linked Tweet has now been deleted. I’d imagine incriminating copies were taken though.

Kudos to spot that, I did wonder how long it was going to be before the penny dropped but nobody mentioned it! They'd be over 100. To nick a recent joke from Splott Parker when I cheekily mentioned he'd last seen us play Liverpool when we played in quarters - "Bartley Wilson's Barmy Army!" could have been chanted when they lobbed concrete chunks at each other!
And just so this doesn't get misunderstood, I'm not laughing or condoning the recent violence just pointing out that we've had nutters going back to the early years of the club.

Re: Bristol toilets smashed
They walk among us. The mentally challenged individuals who did this, are about as welcome at our club, as is a dose of covid.
Football, with it’s long associated link to tribal behaviour, will always attract these type of people.
They possess a combination of low IQ, inability to handle the drugs they put into their bodies (alcohol, cocaine etc), low self respect, no respect for others, and no conception of what is right and wrong.
A dangerous mixture, that leads to incidents like this. Although other sports like boxing can suffer, it’s mainly football that attracts them. You only have to look at the cretins who threw the bottles on the pitch at Everton.
I was at Ashton gate on Saturday. Am i embarrassed ? Hell no. I went, and like the majority of other City fans, behaved myself.
The only remedy for football, is to try to identify these folk, and give them life time bans.
Unfortunately, society on the whole will always have to suffer these meat heads. It’s a part of life.

Re: Bristol toilets smashed
Before the weekend, there were stories about increased instances of fan misbehaviour at football games, are we seeing a reaction to two years of being unable to live life "normally" I wonder? Whatever the reason, football hooliganism did not go away and probably never will do and, as said in the post above, all you can do is try to make sure that those responsible are caught and banned from attending games in the future. The impression I got back in the eighties and nineties was that banning orders tended to be observed at City games, but I must admit that it wasn't a subject I knew a great deal about.

If away fans had not been there it would not have happened!Originally posted by J R Hartley View PostIt’s a society problem not exclusive to football and not exclusive to City.
Every problem can be attributed to “society”. That is to easy and achieves nothing.
