spudski Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 it's like a bunch of 4 year olds, can barely speak, having a tantrum and singing nursery rhymes. The reality, in the cold light of day, grown men having a tantrum, and stood pointing at a woman singing nursery rhymes...whilst holding a phone filming it. Just plain odd. Do they actually watch it back and think it's normal? Mental health issues... something's gone wrong in their life. Actually feel sorry for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The least they should have done was nick him and hold him for as long as legally possible, then charge him, and make him have a few trips to the Bristol courts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!james Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 https://www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/news/supporter-appeal-end-anti-social-behaviour Quote We are currently in the process of working with South Wales Police and Avon & Somerset Police to hold the persons who caused the damage at Ashton Gate accountable for their reprehensible actions. Avon & Somerset Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward, HERE. Should you have information on those who caused the criminal damage, please call the Police on 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5222018809. Three persons have been issued club bans for their behaviour within the stadium bowl at Ashton Gate and we await further information and guidance from the Police with a view to taking further action if and where appropriate. Cardiff City Directors present on the day have apologised to Bristol City Football Club for the damage and have offered to pay for repairs to toilet blocks within the away end. By consequence of this significant outlay, it has been determined in consultation with Cardiff City Supporter Bodies that an additional £1 will be added to the booking fee of each away ticket sold for all away adult and young adult tickets (excluding OAP or juvenile tickets). This comes into effect for all away matches beginning with our trip to Millwall on February 12th. Added an extra £1 to all away tickets to pay for the damage.... not gone down well on their forums!

What's their average away following? 800 - 1,000ish? They have 8 away games after Millwall (inclusive), so what are they looking at...maybe an extra £8,000 - £10,000 raised. Seems like an attempt at collective punishment, but an extra £1 (a 4% increase on a £25 ticket) doesn't feel like enough of a punishment to get the well behaved fans to police the idiots, nor is it enough to deter the idiots from buying a ticket, nor is it enough to really raise enough cash to cover all of the repairs. Seems like they wanted to go all in on a collective punishment scheme, but have then bottled really imposing a proper amount that would actually have an impact. I guess the principle is sound, but implementation seems weak. Edited February 1, 2022 by ExiledAjax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I wonder if there are so many legal loop holes that people can get out of paying the full amount or repay such small amounts over such a long period that it doesn't actually deter them from doing it again. Meanwhile City end up having to fork out to repair the damage in the short term and probably never see the full amount again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's suppose that City got fined for the recent bottle throwing incidents. Imagine the reaction if the club decided to pass the cost on to Section 82, or whichever block the bottles came from. Cardiff need to find those responsible and punish accordingly, not victimise the vast majority of decent folk.

PHILINFRANCE Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 One solution might be to post the amount of the repair estimate/invoice, say £25K?, stating that the additional £1 ticket levy will be maintained until such time as this sum is attained, perhaps showing a regular running total. To this statement, however, would be added the fact that the identity of any culprits identified would be divulged to the Police and that the club would support and actively encourage any consequent prosecution, seeking compensation from any 'fans' convicted. Fans would also be advised that, once the full target is achieved, the levy would cease and, of course, any assistance from true fans in identifying the culprits would be appreciated as, of course, this would both shorten the length of the levy and reduce their overall additional outlay.

Bristol Rob Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Guess they have done this so that those who haven't come forward yet to point the finger of blame at those suspected of causing the damage might be more inclined to do so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 5 minutes ago, PHILINFRANCE said: One solution might be to post the amount of the repair estimate/invoice, say £25K?, stating that the additional £1 ticket levy will be maintained until such time as this sum is attained, perhaps showing a regular running total. To this statement, however, would be added the fact that the identity of any culprits identified would be divulged to the Police and that the club would support and actively encourage any consequent prosecution, seeking compensation from any 'fans' convicted. Fans would also be advised that, once the full target is achieved, the levy would cease and, of course, any assistance from true fans in identifying the culprits would be appreciated as, of course, this would both shorten the length of the levy and reduce their overall additional outlay. I’d go further. The sum collected donated to local charities if culprits are found and if the Courts ensure that the culprits pay the full amount for damaged caused. Incentive for the culprits to be identified, for the Courts to impose proper penalties and a massive disincentive for chavs to smash other people’s property up in the first place and for people to obtain match tickets for the chavs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I don’t agree. As collective football fans we can unite on some issues and this is one of them. It’s simply not right that a club that pays average footballers thousands of pounds every week then charges all fans extra money, to cover the idiotic actions of a tiny minority, to go and watch them. I get it’s supposed to be a deterrent, but it just doesn’t sit right with me. The club should be paying it from their own pocket and doing everything they can to ensure the perpetrators are caught, punished and not allowed to return. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't smash up our bogs then, simples! I know we haven't been angels over the years but I think it's quite a good idea. Strange how loads of fans reach for the mobiles when there's a fight / dance yet they don't film criminal damage? I don't think so. Send the video clips to Cardiff City and they can identify the coked up little chavs. Edited February 1, 2022 by Ska Junkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you define club is that the owner to you? How do you think the club would pay for it? When you say "from their own pockets" I think that is the fans. Not that I agree with the way they have done it but I don't understand what other revenue stream you think the club has and controls to cover the costs?

Cardiff City fans did the damage, if they can't be identified, this is fair. It's only £1 too, hardly a Kings ransom.
