Seemed to be something happening on the perimeter or just outside the ground. It was quite odd and very hard to concentrate on the match with yellow coats running about like that. Bad Guy is a steward so he should know

Some people were thrown out of the South Stand...don't really know what they were doing, but there was about 6 lads I think. But there was another incident, don't know where, but I saw the stewards running aswell.

Ah, yes. Just before the mad dashes. Something happened at the top of the South. I sit lower down but I know they all went crazy and started singing stand up if you hate the stewards. At a guess, the 6 kicked out probably had a brawl with the stewards outside.

Saw abit briefly - but just turned back to the game and carried on watching. Guy next to me was 'rubber necking' trying to see what was happening, getting in my vision of the pitch so a simple and polite ... "mate, the games down there" sorted it out, and it even got a chuckle.

Im not there to watch a fight, unless its on the pitch. Ive paid for a season ticket to watch the rugby - and ill watch the rugby. Not some drunkerds getting kicked out.

What happened was 5 or 6 lads who had been banned for LIFE from the JJB had decided to come back after 3 years . Im not sure how they managed to get in but they did and decided to kick off to give the lads at the top of the south an even worse reputation. It may also be worth pointing out that they wernt kids either , i know that one of them is 21 and another is 23 , the rest wer around 20 .

Totaly agree... I used to sit in the East stand but then came to the south on season ticket prices :sly:
There used to be NO trouble in the east but now ever gameday there is conflict or something that dosent make you feel safe :angry:

There were 7 lads kicking off at the back of the south stand and got removed, all the commotion at the ends was because they were trying to get back in
