What was the incident that is reported on the O/S regarding the play off semi-final versus North Ferriby. They are saying that you can no longer transfer once you have entered turnstiles at that end.
-
fair enough i see were the're coming from, but i don't see the harm in other parts of the ground going into the townend if they want to.
-
Its gonna upset some that like to go on spayne lane or york street for 2nd half or those who go to talk to people they know, i think its abit of a drastic measure, from where i was i wouldnt have called it serious trouble and i havent seen it happened before or since then while we have been using the current segregation
-
A certain group of people transfered from the town end to york street at half time(as they had done every other week) on this occasion though they decide to break some of the green seats that are at this end of the ground.
I say certain groups as there is several groups but i dont know wich set.
-
Seems extremely draconian measures IMO, have always stood in town end one half, then transferred towards corner of tea bar for second half, become something of a tradition.
Must be something pretty serious for these drastic measures, and what is to stop you going out for a smoke at half time and walking round to the york street end and entering with your smoking pass?
-
i have regulary swtiched from townend to york street, i've had banter with away fans after all its football.
the thing that happend with ferriby at the PO semi last year was a one off, and caused by lads who don't have the slight intrest in the football only went their for one reason and to cause abit of trouble its only a laugh to them.
-
Spot on mate, I was there that night and sat behind the goal and the kids who were there I had never seen at a Boston game in my life, have never seen them since, now to tar all the townenders as troublemakers, as this is what they are implying, I find absolutely disgraceful.

same old same as ,some spoil it for every one else

Surely the easiest solution would be to control the gate at the players tunnel at half time, therefore allowing those who want to transfer to spayne lane the chance to do so, I,m sure it is only a handful of kids who wish to sit at york street end, could easily be done.

Be more hassell than its worth with the york street wanting toilet drinks etc.
Anyways keep up like today we can call it practise
-
Yep see your point mate, still seems a bit OTT to me though, must remember to take up smoking! ;)
-
Why does'nt the club just ban them?

I think its a case of not knowing who mate

They do!Apparently the females were very abusive to JB ;D

It was a group of Saturday night is fight night idiots from the town centre who had no interest in BUFC and were only out because the town was talking about a big game.
The change end has become our tinpot tradition and at no point any other time have I seen any issues in that end. The change of end suits me as the lad likes to take the weight off after half time. He'll be a nightmare now he can't sit down in his green seat at half time.
-
My situation pretty similar, my lad likes to sit down while I prefer the town end first half, then meet him down spayne layne at half time near tea bar where i can buy him a drink and pie, then watch second half from there. Completely gone tits up now, and to say I am a little peeved is an understatement.
Can someone please clarify why BUFC have taken this measure as I cannot recall any similar incidents bar that one game?
-
In the football league it was all segrigated so to me it makes no difference,
To answere why the messure was taking is basicly just find and ask those that broke the seats. if it stops it happening again im all for it. id rather the money go for the good of the club and not in replacing broken itams.
Sorry if i sound selfish but it is just my opion but it does seem that dispite all the good done at the club there will always be some that want to winge and moan for the sake of it. and yes before you all slate me i have even moaned and winged myself about stuff
-
When we went into the League we had to have a load of extra security measures installed - including closed circuit television. Do any cameras cover the area where the incident took place? If so, could these be used a little bit more overtly to deter troublemakers but to still allow the 99.9% of well-behaved fans freedom of movement around the ground?
-
Segregation was the one thing I hated about being in the football league, I've followed Boston for near on 40 years now and can remember even in the conference when the opposing fans and the home fans mixed freely throughout the ground, I can't remember there being any trouble, it's a sad situation now that it has come down to segregating your own supporters, surely there must be a better solution?
-
There was other options availible wich would peeve a lot more of so it was down to striking that balance, as for cam system i can confirm that these are there and operational but recording and watching 9 all match as well as watching areas not covered would cost in extra staff, policing or extra stewards for these areas so i think its a decent balance. people have the choice of wich end they can be and lets be truthfull we go much higher and there wouldnt be any changing anyway.

Spend money we dont have and weed the little suckers out
-
No money needs to be spent, we have ample stewards in the ground, only needs one in the york street to watch a handful of kids and if they start misbehaving throw them out, am I looking at this too simplistic or is it much harder to do than this?
-
Agree with you! Why was JB sorting them out and not the stewards?John has enough jobs to do anyway on matchdays!!!!!!!
If a female wants a toilet in the TownEnd must she wait until she gets home?
-
Are there no female toilets in the town end??? Really?? I stood on it once for a presidents cup match about thirteen years ago so can't remember....
-

I think the female toilets at the townend are in the corner near spayne lane, not that I have ever been in them you understand.
-
I was stood there that night and these werent kids, they were early to mid twenties and have been to the odd match and were just on the wind up,albeit out of order and your right the stewards should have sorted it, however he was abused and ignored it moving away, in his defence he quite clearly wasnt up to the task, and the two chief stewards were nowhere to be seen.
When we play away at some bigger clubs eg Northampton, or Rushden their stewards were no nonsense behave or elsa types ours are just normal freindly guys/girls who are just not used to confrontation, and thats not a dig at them just how it is.
-
Is anyone now planning to not go in the townend at all because i was hoping if we all stayed we could keep the good atmosphere going all game
-
Is it an attempt to keep an atmosphere going in the 2nd half? When shooting towards York Street in the second half, the amount of people in the Town End roughly about halves and goes quiet..
-
Yeah, i don't see why, if they win the toss, they don't choose to shoot at the townend in the second half
-
Don't have the stats but we always seem to score more when shooting towards the york street end
-

I dont know but i see your thinking as i think we all read some of the comments made regards to the atmosphere in the second half.
-
I know the real reason for the action by the club!Offically told by bottle top/Spain lane stewy this morning!Won't publish it because I don't believe it!!!!!!
-
What happened in the York Street End tonight? Bit disappointed with old steward tonight who gave a youngster with his dad a lecture on the weapon of mass destruction (bottle top)
-
I heard a certain player's dad had some fisty cuffs ;)
