I'm thinking of a different one then. This was in the 90s. I think Wallace left City several years before I was born :ROFLMAO:

I was about the same age (10 I think), I remember it being a weird atmosphere of celebrating that quickly turned sour. I was in the East Stand and I remember a lot from around us running on.

The sensible ones did!

The one I remember was when we stayed up on the last day. Some of our lot ran on the pitch at full time, the Leeds fans then joined them

I would say that is exactly the reason. The club haven't had to regularly deal with a full stadium for over 20 years. They probably don't have the first clue how to deal with it

It would’ve been impossible for most of them to see it due to the angle of it. It’s really hard to see anything going on in the same stand as you. A few will have seen it, got arsey about it, then herd mentality kicks in.

In fairness I don't think online discussions ever work well. As its always difficult to gauge the tone of what someone is asking

I doubt any Derby fans other than those closest to singers corner would've even seen that. You can see the ones towards block 6 trying to get across the netting here

I don't see how they can move over though. There will be people already in those seats, and there is a fence. If they can climb a fence, and barge through 1500 people, I don't see a picture of Jimmy Hill being much of an obstacle

I would also be interested to know did he have previous? Do we know how good the ticket office is in enforcing bans?

Got to be honest, I'm struggling to see how this is getting blamed entirely on the home fans

You are all missing the common denominator in all this. That is the club. The fact we're still having discussions about segregations, fan behaviour and ticket sales just demonstrates to me how much of a state the club is still in. Robins and the team have distracted us from the failings, as the...

You're talking about incidents involving less than 20 people. The pitch invaders are classic case in point. That one against Reading, it took 6 of them to haul him off the pitch. That is poor. Badly trained I would say. Probably not used to big crowds

I think the pair of you are missing out a crucial part here. The ground isn't unique, our fans aren't unique, so you have to look at what other factors come into play. One thing springs to mind, and that is standard of stewarding. That Derby game them and the police just stood and watched

I don't recall our fans ever causing so much trouble that they hospitalise a male steward and kick a lady steward in the head...

All cities have that element of society

So is it safe or not?

Yet we're told that the CBS is one of the safest grounds in the country https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-city-officially-one-safest-26370586

We’ve taken the most points from the play of teams this year. Luton W1 D5 L1 pts 8 Boro W2 D1 L3 pts 7 Sund. W1 D3 L2 pts 6 Cov W2 D4 L0 pts 10 We’re the team that is hardest to beat.

A small barrier, 1500 city fans, 200 feet of segregation and a load of police/stewards will be separating block 13 from the away fans. Why they think that Jimmy Hill banner will be the key to stopping anyone in block 14 from reaching the away fans is beyond me.
