Honest question, have you ever had the need to segregate, and is it possible at your ground? If it weren't for our poor form I'm sure more would have travelled and who knows what we could have been discussing on here. What would the club be able to do if say FCUM came out of the hat instead of Sutton?
Segregation is not usually necessary but it became apparent on Saturday that this should probably have been done. Having said that, it was really only a couple of fans (the toothless wonder as some are calling him) who were trying to provoke. I am pleased to say that the majority of fans on both sides, and in the vicinity of the incidents, saw common sense and did not allow things to deteriorate. While I do not think that the fan in question will be, or should be, banned from Lowestoft games, I do think that any club at any level should make it clear that this type of behaviour is totally unacceptable and, as it could be costly to the club, could lead to a ban. As I said before, I think good humoured banter makes a game, but when it becomes insulting and provocative it is a step too far.
