It was very close to getting tasty that today. As nice as Alty fans generally are, we don’t pay in to be goaded at full time on our way out. We won’t stand for it. There’s a simple fix, segregation, and I hope the club will work on it. A reminder that this isn’t an isolated incident - Alty fans (who wanted no mither) were nearly pasted across the gaff by Stafford, and a laddish element travelling with Coalville last season. Neither of those games were segregated.
Our young, voluntary stewards were quite brave and dealt with the situation the best they’re trained to. The dickheads weren’t allowed to buy a pint in the Hall afterwards I believe, so credit to the club for that.
I get the point about stewards being present to negate verbals, but surely a better use of resource would be to just have them in one stand for the 90 minutes. Everything they need is there. We are far, far, far too accommodating as a football club and as I said in the OP - someone will get seriously hurt.
