For their own safety they shouldn't be there. No excuse to hit them but most of us know the score when it comes to football.

People that don't should be protected by being refused entry or when identified, swiftly removed.
Thing is, how are the stewards meant to know? They must have had tickets in the home end because you have to show your tickets about a thousand times before you get to your seat in the Canton these days, so short of asking them to name 5 City players, they won't know anybody's an away fan until something like this happens.
