Throwing Stuff is an UTTER NO NO

Im seroiusly thinking about getting the security camera footage and posting it here in a shame thread. Ive got a meeting with the DM from sun night later in the week so hopefully he can ID the culprits.

You should do just that.

Its not all teenagers, the group near us were well into there 20's early 30's.

They crammed into the seats next to us doubling up again, to be fair to them they kept out of our seats after my partner spoke to them. But they were a disgrace.

The security guard in at the entrance of aisle 22 watched them throughout the 2nd half but did bugger all, even after one mate of theirs fell (dived?) from the row behind into them and they gave him a beer bath and a friendly stomping.

At the end of day its down to stadium security to sort out. I'm in full agreement with bigdunc.

It doesn't really matter how much the damage was people should respect what the BB and Fever lounge has done for us. I am fully for name and shaming those who damaged the backbencher. It is the only way they will learn. Alistair2007-10-23 09:47:39

Maybe it should be ticket only and enforced as ticket only by security then it will be easier to target offenders if they are noticed.  Match before last I saw in another area 2 security people try and tell someone to get his feet off the seat in front..he ignored them and they did nothing.  Football attracts louts and it must be policed better!

Surely now we will see security doing more that telling people to move out of the aisles, if the idiots that threw the bottles have ne freinds, dob them in, we do not to get this sort of reputation.

Glad people agree with me.

I can see a ban on beer being allowed in the seats like the cricket as well, I was at that game and it was pretty similar behaviour to Sunday's.

That's what happens in English football matches for good reason.

Is the Fever zone 'spreading', or are there just more people cramming into the zone?

Unfortunately, I think people are just trying to cram into the zone.

Hence my earlier comment about us becoming a sideshow.

I didn't think it was that much fuller to be honest. There was still heaps of room down the front with alot of empty space. However looking towards the middle and the top it looked pretty full. Next game when it rains is going to be bad though...

Wait until the international press get hold of the story "It Will Be Millwall Fault Again"

Lets put things in perspective...

The beer spraying was fine if it was an accident...nothing wrong with getting excited about a goal being scored. If it is being done on purpose though...thats a bit stupid.

I've just had the same thing happen to me - just walked into our customers office - they all know I got to the Phoenix games - had 3 of them straight away if I was with the bottle throwers - the glee at having a dig at 'soccer' was evident from the rugby heads.

I've watched bugger all TV in th elast couple of days - has the bottle throwing incident made the TV news?

not that I know of. But it has made stuff top ten most viewed stories

I hope not. Id rather our shame wastn a national issue.

I have actually just come home early as im sick to the teeth of having to defend my support of YF and the Phoenix.With so much security looking our way why didnt the clowns see who threw the bottles.

Hey, remind the egg chasers that they aren't in a position to criticise. I was at the Stadium at the Bledisloe Cup game where Jonathan Kaplan got pelted with bottles when he was coming off.

Having seen the games on TV and the footage they show of the Fever Zone, I can bet you I know who the culprits are, and what club they play for.......

Big ups to the majority of lads n' ladies in YF, keep up the good work. To those who f**ked up on Sunday.....you are reading this, probably thinking we're all over-reacting.....but you're a f**cking disgrace.

Name em' Shame em' Ban em'

Carney.

TV3 news tonight...

Shame, TV has picked up on it, but I guess was inevitable.

I think the club will come down hard for the next match, I think beer may be banned from the seats as a first measure.

It was after some of the rubbish the media would have read on here yesterday.

Which rubbish would that be then,as most of the posts i saw were condemning the bottle throwing.

i am pleased that YF has issued an apology, its a shocker to hear about the bottle throwing, I walked out of the stadium before the match finished and did not witness the event but i have been reading about it on here and i think its a total disgrace and i think if we find this person (or persons) we should kick them out of the YF zone and they should be banned for life from phoenix matches and their season ticket taken away from them, thats the kind of punishment that happens in the SPL or EPL.

I agree phoenix07.

I looked around when it was happening and there were quite a few people doing throwing them from different parts of the YF zone.

Just another example of the yobbish boorish behaviour that has become all to common. Just wander downtown on a saturday night (Auckland) and you can see it all.Throwing beer/bottles yelling abuse at players would you do it to their face? A lot of stupid.

Those beer bottles are pretty nifty though!  Much easier carrying six of those than six plastic cups of beer, easier to hold onto as well when you're jumping like a mad c**t!

Saying Millwall supporters are known as a drunken morons in England is a bit inaccurate Danny. Its a much wider social subject than that statement.

Anyway I think the best course is for the stewards to do their job properly and people to report offenders to them, as many people have said here already. slacKers 632007-10-23 16:28:50

Good apology made on behalf of the YF. Now if only those whom seem to think to enjoy your football game you have to be drunk &/or throwing Beer bottles &/ spraying your beer over other fans would wake up and smell the roses. We're not asking you to be angels, we are asking you to think of your fellow fans and consider their enjoyment of the game too. Your behaviour might be fun to you but not those who suffer the results. Lonegunmen2007-10-23 20:26:31

I am assuming that's a different Danny you're on about as I never mentioned anything about Milwall.

We should remember a couple of simple things.

This is football and this is our team. Attending the match means we're entitled to shout, swear and even vent our fury and angst at our own and visting sides. That's what going to the football is all about, and has been for decades. If not, you might as well be at some soulless ground somewhere.

It is important that we 'own' our ground, and by that I mean turn it into some kind of fortress where opposition teams are wary of coming to for fear of the atmosphere we can create. Football grounds have been full of shouting, swearing and threatening shouts for years. If you're trying to change that, then stick to the lack-lustre passionateless support of the rugbys.

However, let's be clear that a strong and committed support doesn't mean we encourage any kind of violence or assault of any kind. Shouting at a player is one thing, no matter how vitriolic it might be, that's football - chucking stuff at players is the realm of the bandwagon jumping piss-head who thinks hiding in a crowd is a good way to get away with dick-head behaviour.

Yep sorry, I was referring to a post by Danny_Biggie, it seems to have been removed now.
