Surprised that they have a police cordon in the ground anymore. With their non conflict approach surely the police only need one plod with a camera and maybe a make up artist just in case they decide to fit someone up.

Not sure if cctv of idiots lobbing stuff, bottles & coins etc across would be classed as fit ups.
As for cordons segregation in most Premiership games theres not a lot more than three or four rows of seats and a thin blue line or even just stewards.

I normally go to the Casino straight after the game, but was heading to the Butts for Cov rugby on Saturday.

Must have had my picture taken at least three times as I mooched towards the Foleshill road.

Bit of trouble near the casino tonight.

As usual, Millwall kids getting in people's faces singing 'Mill'.

Quite a few Coventry fans didn't take well to it.

Not quite sure why Millwall fans were walking that way.

All stems from the train station issue. The away fans are walking towards the station or, more recently, the replacement buses in the Tesco carpark.

Bit harsh blaming the train situation, fans don’t need to fight because they walk the same way together. most home or away games you have to walk alongside each other at some point, I choose to do so peacefully as do thousands, the issue is the the actual dickheads who don’t for whatever reason and it’s not just alcohol or drugs, don’t dress it up as anything other than what it is, idiots who want to punch each other.

Anyone see the fella losing the canopy at 5he front of block 27 (ish)?

Don't know ow what was going on but my reading was some fella lost it and wanted to go out and fight and family members were trying to stop him. He'd genuinely lost it! Hope he's ok.
Similar situation by the first turnstyle after the game, stewards got involved to calm him down and started getting abit of shit. Felt a bit sorry for them because they were actually doing their job properly for once

Course.

However, it doesn't help that away fans have to walk straight into the home fans.

It also doesn't help that every away club who have come to the Ricoh this season have been 'up for it'. Big day out for many.

This latest batch of aggro at games has become pathetic, look at that Leicester idiot yesterday at Forest how he ever thought he would get away with that god knows life-time ban and possibly locked up for a month or two… idiot.

While there are certainly some very strange decisions made by the safety group if people can't sit in the right seat or even sit at all then they're going to take action.

Whether you agree with the rules or not they exist and by entering the ground you agree to abide by them. If people don't stick to them then there's every chance something will be done to enforce them and closing that corner off may well be on the cards.

As long as there continues to be incidents and problems inside the ground (and there have been several), the chances of them making bullshit decisions like closing the corner only increases.

It's yet another thing that happens in every ground in the country but we are treated like a special case.

It does seem strange that potentially volatile games like Chelsea v Spurs have zero distance between fans home and away yet we need a rocket launcher to reach the opposing fans at the CBS. I watched their fans at Boro entering the no go zone at the Riverside and it is like an invitation to play hard knowing that there was little chance of anybody coming to meet them.
I grew up with football violence at HR and the West End was segregated by the walk way with police in between and I won’t say it went without incident and yes there was posturing but it seems to me that the issue at our ground is not helped by the distance between fans but encouraged.

Most of these problems have been caused by wasps themselves. Why are we the only club that needs half a mile segregation? Is it our fans are far worse then everyone else or the safety officer is useless at his job and hes forcing ever increasing draconian measures on us.

This isn't anything to do with segregation is it? This is the simple fact that people seem incapable of sitting in, or even standing by, the seat they have purchased a ticket for.

This is almost certainly a box ticking exercise putting the message out. They won’t enforce I’m sure, at least not in the corner.

Im sure they tried when the Ricoh first opened and I recall regular scuffles between fans and stewards over it.

Of course, there’s also up to 5,000 away fans every other weekend standing for the duration that they would need to attend to!

I’m hoping you’re right on a box ticking exercise hence it’s been sent out on a Monday morning. There’s been more awareness of our atmospheres and corner this season which has led to some busy-body complaining. I am hopeful this fits into that category rather than paving the way to closing the corner.

Being totally honest, I’m on the back row and going to keep standing otherwise I won’t be able to see anything other than backsides.

How the bloody hell can you blame Wasps rugby clubs sit alongside each other with no problems for some reason now normally for some reason below the premier league Johnnie concretes a number of whom with their noses full of Charlie need to be the tough guys and as a result our ticket allocations at away games are getting cut.

It's their safety officer that's making those decisions.

If you are taking a rocket launcher to games then that kind of explains the statement which has come out.

They need to sort out people moving over to block 14/15/16 during the game, it's definitely improved. That Bristol game was ridiculous.

As for sitting down? No chance, it's not for me but I wouldn't stand in the family end, blocking others views and thats why I sit (should I say, stand) in 15.

Non story, it'll never happen.

Yeah it's a "we've told them" exercise. They have done this in the past before and have never really tried to enforce it.

The issue predates wasps, it’s been a problem since the arena opened. It’s definitely the safety officer who is terrible at their job.

Another one on Saturday which didn't need 8 foot fences and attack dogs. Just leave the stadium and go home.

Weird that it's only our home fans that are the problem.

Part of the issue is that our atmosphere creators, have restricted themselves to "naughty corner" with only a limited number of seats in the corner, more and more people are trying to join them but there isn't enough space. The design of the stadium is all wrong, the club said at the start of this season they wanted to create a singing are behind the goal, but no-one wants to sit there as the sun is in your eyes for any afternoon games.

Ideally away fans would've been in that end, allowing us to have a bank of fans behind the goal where an atmosphere could be created

There’s exceptions of course but in atmospheric stadiums the most vocal always tend to sit near the away fans. You can try and encourage people to go and sit behind the goal or move the away fans but people will just move to near the away fans.

We finally have an atmosphere at the CBS lets try and iron out the issues with segregation and ridiculous fencing before anything else IMO

Agree, that the atmosphere comes from where fans are closest most of the time, my point was more about us restricting ourselves to a corner of the ground

I suppose the safety officer is only used to Wasps games, where the crowd always sit and can have a snooze between scrums....they take that long.
