[Flying Fokker]

been a shit Show from start to finish

Mustn’t grumble.

[Grendel]

I have asked him to bring it up at the forum and he had a hissy fit.

Perhaps it’s time for someone like you - with obvious experience of calm diplomacy and negotiation skills - to step up IRA?

 

[mark82]

Mustn’t grumble.

It is a bit silly though. Sure it's not the club that have decided as they're losing revenue.

It's not the club, it's as stating the SAG and police advice. Which is why it is weird if they are not happy to give the reasoning the SAG have given them

 

[Evo1883]

I do feel like there is some head in the sands attitudes with our supporters .

Let's look at what could have caused this

Coventry fans persistently fighting with away fans walking past the away end leading to the alcatraz like fences all around the away end .
Also lead to away coaches being moved from car park C

2 x coventry fans attacked away supporters at the top of the away stand in the last few seasons ( where else have you seen that ??

Multiple instances of items being thrown into the away end .

Well over 10 supporters invading the pitch over the last couple seasons alone

Coventry have a very large section of troublemakers , and we are paying the price for it through SAG .

That's the reality !!! It's hardly a shock to me anyway

 

[Calista]

Totally disagree. They are going to a football game, not a show at the theatre.

I'm not trying to justify it, just making my best guess as to why SAG are effectively insisting on segregating City fans from other City fans.
I agree with you, it's silly and unnecessary.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

The SAG is an extension of the council so they'll be subject to FOI legislation?

Have asked for the written advice

 

[Captain_Slackbladder]

Totally disagree. They are going to a football game, not a show at the theatre.

The majority had 200+ points which means they are likely to have been to away matches.

The biggest thing is the stand behind the goal is over 18s only. Not like it will be a family zone behind the goal.

Even, even, even if a few kids managed to get near the Middlesbrough fans, there's still and ENTIRE block of segregation!

I've got a ticket in block 11 and am assuming/presuming/hoping it will be an extention of the corner. All standing and singing etc

I have posted pictures of the segregation at games where there are much more trouble than in CV6 including one that has seen running battles all over M'Cr city centre and one where fans have killed each other. Guess what, there's not blocks between the fans and none have to separate home fans from home fans.

The attacks happened with segregation though, it's not like it is a deterrent is it

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

No, just don't go "ok" when the fob you off and then chase up answers to your questions.

If you want to be a representative of a group of fans then do it.

Recently you seem to have been trying really hard no to upset the club even if that is what is required to represent people.

From season tickets to ticket sales you have been a bit of prick to people who are critical of the club.

He’s a volunteer David

I love this club , have travelled everywhere with them over the last few years . Our fans are fucking yampy david .. you couldn't have a row of stewards separating coventry and Hull fans at the rocoh let alone blues and boro .

Of all the stadiums I've travelled too on numerous occasions , the CBS I've seen the worst trouble at On many many occasions in and outside the ground .. our fans love a bit of trouble and the safety teams know this

 

[Evo1883]

They won't increase the risk though

Yet we're told that the CBS is one of the safest grounds in the country

Coventry City is officially one of the safest clubs to watch football at

New figures released have analysed crime figures on match days across the UK

Definitely will be

and? I have asked for this to be brought up at the forum. That is the remit of his role.

 

[Evo1883]

My friend , ofcourse it currently is , it's got a 2/3 block segregation .. 4 thousand stewards and police in one corner and layers of fences surrounding away coaches outside its not done for no reason ,its a bloody fortress on matchday now

 

[Ashdown]

I don’t know whether you’re being sarcastic or nice
I’m just an ordinary man doing ordinary things trying to see all sides

Definitely nice

So you can have a row of stewards between celtic and rangers fans? Or United and Leeds fans? Or Liverpool and United fans but not Cov fans and boro?

Wow

 

[David O'Day]

The attacks happened with segregation though, it's not like it is a deterrent is it

He's claiming it more likely to kick off a city vs boro than leeds vs man united

 

[Jcap]

There’s been some errors made yes. The whole process has not been a cock up no!

Pretty significant errors though SBP. Does that not constitute a cock up? Amateurish at best.

 

[Evo1883]

So you can have a row of stewards between celtic and rangers fans? Or United and Leeds fans? Or Liverpool and United fans but not Cov fans and boro?

Wow

Do you remember when they tried to relax the security against Preston a few years back and it kicked off massively and the coaches got bricked ..

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

And just to be clear, it's representation at a forum that happens every 6 to 8 weeks. There are supporter liaison contacts on the website if you want someone whose job it actually is.

Yep new members of staff too

 

[Evo1883]

When the last time you seen a man utd fan walk across the segregation and start fighting a Liverpool fan ? A coventry fan has done that 2 times v Sheffield united and Derby..

 

[David O'Day]

Yep new members of staff too

i have asked you to ask at the forum, you had a hissy fit as it would upset them

so let's not go there ok

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

A balanced approach is not just accepting being fobbed off or no answers at all.

I am sorry but at the moment he seems to want to stay mates with people at the club and that isn't good.

You can reply with "I'm sorry but I'm not really sure that will be acceptable to the supporters I represent" from time to time

Yep that’s right

 

[David O'Day]

Do you remember when they tried to relax the security against Preston a few years back and it kicked off massively and the coaches got bricked ..

so there's more potential for trouble at the CBS than the Old Firm?

Also what does in ground segregation have to do with the bricking of a coach outside the ground?

 

[David O'Day]

When the last time you seen a man utd fan walk across the segregation and start fighting a Liverpool fan ? A coventry fan has done that 2 times v Sheffield united and Derby..

Ok, it's more dangerous at the CBS than anfield when united are in town.

Ok

‘Very large number’ is certainly pushing it, whatever.
How many bans, arrests, charges have there been in the last 5 seasons say?
If the answer is next to zero then the core problem isn’t being addressed is it?
Spend a few bob on improved CCTV and get someone who knows what they are doing to look at it. Then take action if there is evidence of violence.
To not address the core problem for years on end and just put enormous amounts of segregation in is stupid.

 

[Evo1883]

Ok, it's more dangerous at the CBS than anfield when united are in town.

Ok

Il ask you again , show me examples of Liverpool or man utd fans crossing the segregation and fighting .over the last few years .. I can give you examples at coventry .

Safety groups reacting to ACTUAL incidents , not what could happen because 2 sets of supporters don't like eachother

 

[David O'Day]

The last united vs leeds at elland road had 900 old bill

More dangerous at the cbs

 

[Evo1883]

So is it safe or not?

Yes because of the measures in place, which our fans are urging to be removed .. I'm for it , but don't moan when it kicks off
