Because if you do try and get it undone you’ll be accused of wanting people to get hurt

This is why RAMS are in place , If you have a problem you fix the problem,you find the solution that works

Being a bit more realistic , will roller shutters stop leicester fans and coventry fans kicking the shutters to pieces when they play eachother ?

A partition wall will

Stick a couple of coppers each side and no one will do anything anyway. I've been to plenty of stadiums that just have roller shutters diving fans and if I'm not mistaken, the king power has exactly that set up and nothing happened when we played them first game of the season.

I may be mistaken , but didn't the shutters get kicked in against Birmingham when the arena opened or was it a temporary wall ?

Unfortunately coppers don't get involved these days unless things have already kicked off it seems

You maybe correct about Blues I don't remember. Just having a police presence on the concourse would be enough to deter the vast majority from causing issues.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Still cracking support

Could be even better, people are missing out

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Pay on gate so there could be a few day trippers

Swansea end

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Swansea end

Yep , I know 2 swans going POG

 

[dadgad]

This is where the Arena fails in my opinion. We should have the away section uncovered and open to the elements as much as possible.

And looking into the sun…..

 

[procdoc]

Looking forward to this, about time we actually beat these. Fancy another 2-0

Think we’ll concede
Wonder if we’ll work out a way of getting more fluid going forward

Need to do what we did in defence and have a consistent set of players who can get used to each other. I thought we were getting that then team changes then Simms out and Sheaf injured messed that up a bit.

Cracks me up on here , because it's been pointed out multiple times our fans are fucking weird .. start trouble often and have been responsible for most of the violence I've seen at stadiums home and away I've visited for the last 10 years ( believe me , I'm not lying )

And they are like , why aren't we closer like everybody else

are the safety group and police thick ? Or do they just love denying CCFC money

A bit dramatic that. Given that's it's Cov you follow home and away, and you're with Cov fans on those trips, it's stands to reason that any trouble you will see will involve Cov fans? Who else is it going to involve?

I go to every away game pretty much. Rarely rock up later than 11.30, always go for a few drinks, and I've hardly seen anything. Nothing this season at home. In the ground against Blues and Soton minimal segregation, nowt happens. Wednesday at home, Phil Mitchell from Sheffield plays up a bit and all of a sudden it's a major incident.

 

[Sick Boy]

Ah sorry good pojnt
That was the other price
What was the price for tonight?

£24.

 

[Blind-Faith]

it’s been a pretty good December for us hasn’t it? Why not keep the good times rolling, 2-1 to us

Pretty sure that we don’t want a regular police presence in the concourse as standard.

Smash Yates early doors

 

[Fysnkysc]

1-0 loss,
cov on fire with results but performances have been pretty poor, and swansea just got spanked.

so in typical cov fashion cov 0 - 1 swansea

 

[Ricketts]

Another clean sheet (I don’t know how the last couple of matches, the opponents have been missing sitters!)

5-0. Sakamoto, O Hare, Thomas, Eccles, Allen, Wright.
And still in rhe bottom half of the table, 3 points off playoffs

 

[napolimp]

Sunderland and Hull with winnable fixtures tonight, would be great to keep the pressure on after all the hard work getting to this position.

 

[steve cooper]

5-0. Sakamoto, O Hare, Thomas, Eccles, Allen, Wright.
And still in rhe bottom half of the table, 3 points off playoffs

That's 6-0

 

[SkyblueDad]

Agree with this but in reality it all comes down to fitness. Thomas and Wright for example have played a lot and may need a rest.

Is Kitching suspended ? Certain he will play if he isn’t .

A partition wall will

They have a roller shutter at West Ham. Their fans aren’t exactly the most well behaved either.

one day they will listen Nick ! Maybe if we are really lucky they will wind up someone who is booked and put pressure on them

 

[Nuskyblue]

Time to break this voodoo. Swansea are not firing on all cylinders and we are much improved. Never be a better time to topple that awful record.

Don't know if it's a typo but it's hoodoo not voodoo.

Something doesn't add up though. There's official stats available on the gov.uk website for football related arrests and banning orders

Our numbers are nowhere near the top of the list. Last seasons data shows 25 arrests and 11 banning orders. Basically one arrest per game.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

City Arms pretty packed with sky blue shirts already.

@Earlsdon-Loyal-Blue just walked in. Riot police incoming!

Could you not just close 2 roller shutters and essentially cordon off a segment of the concourse? That way there’s 2 shutters between fans.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Biggest team selection change I want to see today (assuming nothing else has changed); Simms in for Godden.

Don’t mind Godden but we can’t have another game feeling like we’re playing with 10.

No fans were arrested that I saw when they were throwing objects across to the away fans boxing day .. you also have to remember coventry police officers get on with half the fans a slap on the wrist and move on , the main police officer is sound as fuck to be fair

You say nothing happens but there was some fighting outside the stadium v blues .
