    I think he said that the reason he was given was something along the lines of "for endangering the crowd" or something like that. Seems ridiculous even for them.

    They dumped a job lot overhead apparently. Landed on top of someone. Should have separated and flung them each rather than a bundle.

    If that's true, what happens to these bans if we actually get these morons removed?

    Throwing stuff from the stands is definite no-no and will be jumped on straight away. It's one of the steward's main responsibilities to prevent this sort of thing

    An Oldie but a goodie, let's not forget.

    thanks for that.
  • A handful at a time were dropped, they separated and wouldn't have damaged a fly.

    unfurling a banner from the press gantry immediately above the directors box while the match is going on would be a good one. Would need to be planned commando style to get in and do it and get out again, but would be effective.

    I sit in the upper west and would be happy to help make that happen,

    Yes we are, but at least we won the game 4-0,
    the crowd "stand up if you love RD" had 99% support,
    And as for the protest ?
    What protest ?
  • We should all buy these and wear them at the next home game, maybe get Roland Out printed on the back.

    Yes, throwing stuff of any description is a breach of the (perhaps poorly worded) Football (Offences) Act. HOWEVER these very light items were not thrown, merely dropped. So they might have problems using that piece of legislation as an excuse to ban the person concerned.

    They will probably use the sign at the bottom of the stairs just before the journos section that warns of ejection if you pass beyond that point.
  • Let's all take a bag of rubbish to the upcoming games and dump them in the stands - it'll cost the club a few bob each week to get the stadium cleaned up! :-)

    Problem is the club has a right to refuse admission to anyone as it's not a public place. And given they are in effect under siege and have no concept of good or bad publicity, I am not sure they would hold back from banning people. Buggers up Katrien's Target 20,000 though.

    It might have been good except they were thrown in one lump, then separated into two lumps and managed to hit two people who both sympathise with the campaign :smile:

    Despite the CARD logo being used, this wasn't organised by CARD. We'd have had them thrown from within the directors' box . . .

    It was great to see when stand up if you want them out was sung, how many people in teh directors seating stood up.

    Must be lonely in there Judas and pinocchio.

    The guy who dropped these DMd me on Twitter to apologise for inconveniencing me as he threw them from right next to where I was working (I told him no apology necessary of course)

    Then he gave me a copy of his statement as to why it happened - as attached.
  • It was good to see some long standing supporters standing up, in the directors box on Saturday when the chant went up,
