The Safety of Fans in the North Stand

Easy solution, first missile that comes down the match is abandoned and the game given to the home club, the away team has to pay to reimburse all the home fans. They are also fined, have 3 points deducted and forced to play their next game behind closed doors.

Also hold the away fans and release home fans first, police go home then release the away fans. See how hard they are then.

That is just being silly.

Another game, more missiles thrown down on to the Sunderland fans in the North Stand.

Coventry fans once again showing themselves up after acting all innocent in the build up to the game.

We need action to prevent this from happening again.

Coventry should get zero allocation when they next visit. It’s every time with them.

Easy Solution put the Away fans back in the South Stand make the upper tier of the North Stand safe standing.

Wouldn't be so sure about that mind. When the away fans were in what is now the South Stand the black and white shite were tearing the seats to bits and throwing them over the access tunnel at us, along with bottles and coins. There were plenty of us injured. Moving the away support isn't the answer, policing and controlling them effectively is what's needed.

Stuff that for a lark, what makes you think the same things didn't happen then? I can assure you they did!

Once again disgraceful behaviour from Coventry throwing stuff including bottles from above.
Ban them next season from the SoL.

They should be banned from all away games for a season if the FA gave a dam

2 times against Coventry. Once against pompey. The flare landed two seats away from my 8 year old and a glass bottled landed a couple of rows behind and that was just today.. I was one seat away from being hit in the 5-4 fixtures.

The safety of the Sunderland fans isn't there. Coventry should have been banned from attending.. A bloke picked up the broken glass and the female steward asked where it came from. Where else would it f***ing come from? Then she just put it in the bin and carried on with her duties. I would be collecting any evidence and using it to ban the fuckers.

Today's match is now irrelevant, and my 8 year old is seriously distressed and doesn't want to go back.. First season for him as a season card holder n all. So bollocks to the club I'll be emailing them and getting a refund for our season cards.

This is a disgrace but utterly predictable. There was not enough punishment last time and this is what you get. The club, FA and authorities letting down decent fans through lack of care or resolve to sort it.
 
It’s a serious question

Do we have an obligation (to the league or otherwise) to sell away tickets to a club who have repeatedly broken the law and endangered our fans?
