I think this is more about stewards, police etc. being more proactive when managing crowds and potential flare-ups in the ground rather than the segregation and going through the segregation arrangements over and over again which we all know there is no magic solution for.

This wouldn't have happened if we'd just played the Furness select like usual. Thats a fact right there.

There was a forum set up for you all to post nonsense in and argue with each other.

They'll still gather somewhere near the ground, no doubt.

Perhaps but they may be having a knock on the door from the boys in blue shortly and I guess the latter are aware of their childish behaviour last season in town and around the station.

Sensible, prompt action by BAFC and a good statement explaining actions taken and potential future way back.

This is the swift response needed from the club to nip it in the bud, well done to all concerned.

Now, about this duty of care, will we be seeing positive action regarding glass bottles/alcohol in the ground by the stewards?

Not sure if this would work or help - but would it be possible to attach some corrugated sheeting to the segregation barriers, at least that way the opposing fans would not be able see each other and perhaps not encourage any taunting.

I enjoy good hearted banter and teasing as much as anyone, but this may put off the 'element' that seem to have taken a liking to congregating there?

are the stewards being reprimanded bearing in mind they are the only people in the ground that actually have a set of rules to adhere to literally. Like NO GLASS! just imagine if they had thrown a glass bottle then what? Still the minors faults?

How high would the sheeting be?

I would have thought if it was at a height were opposing fans could not see each other then it would restrict those supporters from seeing certain parts of the pitch.

That's a very valid thought.. hadn't considered how much it would impact on their viewing... ah well, back t' drawing board...
