I was only eight or so rows in front, but am not really one to gawp or watch if anything kicks off. Apparently it was actually Charlton fans arguing amongst themselves, nothing to do with away fans as far as I know.
It was a misunderstanding. The people involved all shook hands and that was the end of it.
As SE10 said, the OB didn't help by wading in. Thankfully after one of the ladies sitting up there explained to them what had happened and they were on there way.
Slightly off-topic, but didn't want to start a new thread about it, apologies.
I was sitting in the North Upper, and saw a beer bottle come flying over my head after the second goal and down into the North Lower. The guy was hurled all sorts of abuse for such reckless behaviour, and rightly so. Did any body see it smash in the Lower, I do hope that no one was injured.
I saw it land. it just missed some people a few rows from the front. I didn't hear a smash (although I was in The Upper), so I presumed it was plastic.
Seen it a few times this season. Think it was at the end of the derby, sheff wed game thrown from the upper and land in the lower. Effin idiots are as thick as pig shyte
It was thrown from back of m? block which is block next to me in north upper. I could not spot who exactly did it but a bottle was also thrown after final whistle by some lads, fcuking pathetic.
I thought watford had carboard cut out fans they were so quiet
Hello folks, not been here for a while. I was at the Watford game and the seat was thrown by a Palace fan and hit another Palace fan and his daughter. Both receivied treatment at the side of the pitch and had further treatment in Lewisham hospital later that night / Saturday morning. Dont know if the culprit has been caught, but i hope he will. On another note, theres lots of doom and gloom on here but if you look at the long term picture its not that bad. Staying in the Championship this season is a reasonable objective, and maybe consolidation next season. After that who knows...
Is there concern that the owners might up sticks and go? What is going on behind the scenes? Its just that, from the outside, it doesnt look too bad...you own your own ground (and its a fine stadium too) - back on the fateful day in May 2005, when i got into the Jimmy Seed stand the other 3 sides looked superb from where i was - packed and full of colour and noise. I understand the pitch need a bit of work, but that can be sorted. The team is good enough to stay up, your away form alone should do that. You have an academy which from what ive heard sounds good. You have a decent fan base, and better than average gates. I'm probalby over simplifying things and am too much of an optimist. I guess the long term depends on the generosity of the owners.

Nothing to see here - move along.
Or the little bum pincher?

Seem to recall a Palace fan at Watford injuring a fellow supporter by chucking a seat.
