I think even the spring making is pretty much a thing of the past these days.

The Supporter's Club minibus tonight had a brick put through the windscreen and all four tyres got slashed after the game tonight. Thankfully everyone who was on it got sorted with lifts home - still - it shows that some people can't take defeat graciously Utterly disgraceful, and an obvious course of action would be a) award the WCSC to WCFC, and Reddtich forefeit all of the gate money from last night to WCFC. what a load of old tosh! how many times have our own idiots vandalised the away teams vehicles this year?? were you saying that we should give the opposition the 3 points and all our gate money, i think not. |

Why not? One day football might start getting its house in order, until then the unacceptable continues to be accepted. What if these troublemakers were directly responsible for the loss of earnings to a football club?
If nothing happens, which is exactly what will happen, then it becomes an accepted norm that followers of a team can vandalise an away teams vehicle - do you consider that to be acceptable?
So yes, I think so.

So yes, I think so. For incidents inside the stadium then possibly yes - for random acts of vandalism (which may or may not be to do with football supporters - did anyone see Redditch 'fans' doing this) then no. |

So yes, I think so. when did I say it was acceptable?? and the car park isn't owned by the football club it is owned by the council. Were there any witnesses who saw redditch fans doing this?? it could have been drunks on the way back from a pub for all we know. |

Yawn....
Given the abuse Redditch has received - on this forum - then what did you expect??
And NO.. it is not acceptable.
Interestingly,
Not a jot of 'trouble' (apart from Alfreton - maybe) up here - perhaps Boston I suppose??

And when Telford got their coach bricked - and when the police were called vs. Nuneaton...

Right, blame it on a few drunks rolling out of thepub, just a ramdom attack hey? so it wasn't the away team minibus that got vandalised, just "a" minibus which happened to be in a car park? One day, one of those bricks going through the windscreen is going to kill someone, do Redditch United care? No.
Makes you realise why the rugby club supporters have concerns about sharing with the football club, they get 10,000 with not a jot of trouble, football gets 500 and the minibus trashed.
Sorry but I'm all for fairly draconian measures to stop this mindless violence (and don't hide behind "its nothing to do with the football club") hitting the club where it hurts. A supporters minibus should be able to park safely for the duration of a game, in a car park (regardless of whether club owned or privately owned) where it, and all other cars are stewarded.
In junior football clubs can have points deducted if there is a fracas between opposition supporters (and the "ground is council owned" argument holds no water) Indeed clubs can be banned from the league if necessary, so it can happen. Trouble is, the higher up in football you go, the higher the game shirks its responsibilities.
