On The Port's Podcast, Nic Becker talks about the WSW game crowd incidents

This is not the Port's podcast. These guys aren't involved in organising the Port. Some of them don't even go to the games. That is like saying the black and yellow podcast is the Yellow Fevers. 

The Port did a social media story condemning the violence. 

Nix fans should not be throwing too many stones. It was only last year Nix fans jumped into the away section to fight Victory fans. My take is there should be no violence, at any game. I was surprised to hear a Nix fan was punched at the derby. That should have been reported earlier.
Bit of a stretch bringing up what was a very isolated incident from some idiots who couldnt be called fans at all in any way, as a comparison to what happened in Auckland.
The facts are YF and the Phoenix both tried to highlight concerns they had before the first Auckland Derby but Auckland chose to ignore them.
Then at the second one again issues were raised and some members of YF and Phoenix staff spent part of the first half trying to highlight issues. Apparently yet again Auckland and their security chose to ignore those concerns. 
Sadly all those concerns were proven to be correct and if Becker continues to bury his head in the sand im afraid come finals things may not improve.
Many of the things that YF fans experienced havnt been spoken of widely but  from those i have spoken to an away game experience in Auckland is not one some will make a priority.
Bloody shame actually given the away game experience Nix fans get when travelling to other away games.
