Ashton Gate vandalism - extra £1 on all away tickets.

Re: Ashton Gate vandalism - extra £1 on all away tickets.

Shouldn’t be up to fans to self-police drunken idiots. That’s what the police and stewards are paid for.

I remember Gwyne Davies writing that a few needed a slap while travelling on the valley coaches back in the day. So it's been done in the past.

Stewards are paid to stop violence or criminal damage and how many police officers do you see in grounds nowadays.

Has anybody checked the club are allowed to do this? I thought there were league rules to restrict clubs meddling with away ticket prices on an ad-hoc basis. Rarely travel away so could be completely wrong about that.

The worst thing is that the people who will be punished the most, is those who travel away the most. If you go to lots of away games, you will end up paying more than anyone else. So our keenest fans, those who gladly travel to the far-flung grounds of the League, just to watch CCFC, are the ones who will have to pay for the idiocy of those who turn up once in a blue moon, and cause trouble.

Why shouldn't we responsible for our own hooligans ?

The club are doing the right thing by being responsible for our supporters.

We are all in this together , until it doesn't suit us ... £1 ?

I was thinking very generally. Dealing with violence with violence (unless in self-defence) never ends well. It was a flippant response. Didn't mean anything personal.

The same Gwyn Davies who made threats to supporters who challenged the rebrand? I’m not sure he’s best example to use or some of the peanuts who used to travel on the valley rams coaches. I used them a couple of times and it was an eye opener and I’m not easily shocked.

More than just threats .
Where is he now?

Re: Ashton Gate vandalism - extra £1 on all away tickets.

And another thing....how long will it go on for? Say the damage costs £10,000. That means it's paid for once 10,000 people go to away matches. Say 1000 at Barnsley, 2500 at Millwall, 1200 Huddersfield, 2500 at QPR, 1000 Middlesbrough, and 2500 at reading should see it done. If it goes on any longer than that, then they're saving up for something...
I hope someone keeps track.
