Seems to me that the whole situation was aggravated by the stewards and police. turned the atmosphere from banter to something more serious. football is about standing and enjoying the game, sitting down is for the cinema ........mon the Jags
Thanks for the upload Steve. I'm a Sheffield Bantam, so this was a cool video to watch. Also looking forward to my second London trip this year and watching loads of City vids. The "Greenman," has become my local.
Arrested for standing up. It really is inappropriate policing. This is a football match, people will get excited, but I didn't see anyone break the law. It looks like the officials simply don't want anyone to enjoy themselves.
This is a perfect example of why SAFE standing areas need to return - unfortunately that won't stop stewards acting like little fuckin' Hitler's, though. While I absolutely don't condone violence, I commend the Sheff Utd fans for not losing their tempers; them jobsworth stewards were definitely inciting trouble - especially that twat 7:23. Incidentally, I'm a fan of neither team.
No proper fan wants to sit down at games. It's time terracing was brought back in my opinion. I go every week and I never sit down. The introduction of all seater stadiums was just a ploy to allow the clubs to charge more for entrance. It's like when cds first came in. A vinyl album was about £6.99 then all of a sudden it was costing £14 for the cd. I hate all seater grounds because there's no real atmosphere. You can't all get together to sing. I mean there's little pockets of fans singing but it's better when those who want to sing are next to each other. Plus the allocation for away fans is a joke these days. The grounds are full tourists, socialites and half and half scarf wearers who haven't got a clue who's playing. The true fan is being priced out of the game. Back in the late 70's - early 80's you could just turn up on the day and there would be up to and sometimes above 10,000 away fans which made the day because you always wanted to out sing the home fans. Nowadays the 1500 or so are stuck in a corner somewhere with a crap view and get charged £50 a ticket which used to be what a season ticket used to cost in the early 80's. That's why I don't go to premier league games anymore and prefer League 1 or non league, it's a bit more old school. BRING BACK TERRACING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this video sums up why everybody hates the old bill...none of them are kicking off so why bother...leeds stewards are the worst...got pinched for swearing when all 3000 were doing the same thing...proper jobsworth the lot of them!!!!
I agree! The stewards also make the situation twice as bad
That makes perfect sense; you're not allowed to stand in the stand?!?
UTB it was a funny old day out as i remember the television cameras following us all day. They missed some of the Action off the pitch.
A Sheffield United fan was smiling at the police .arrest that man at once🤭 Leeds fan 👍
they're acting like standing is a hooligan act
Example of terrible stewarding.
And crowd management.
Stewards were totally to blame there

Couldn't catch ripper, wonder why?

Well if they arrested everyone for swearing and standing up there would be no one left in the ground at all, Bloody stupid.

Perfectly put
The fans pay there hard working money to watch there team. They should have to choice if they stand or not.
Any trouble was caused by over efficious stewards and police
All this no standing is a load of bollocks . Just causes trouble .

Bang on! Thats all confrontational! Fucking Stewards bell ends.
If you just let em stand no trouble would've been

You need FIO Graham Norton. That guy will sort this lot out. His name alone stops fighting
It's not actually illegal not to stand up at a football game. You can be kicked out but not arrested.
i know you were allowed to stand at Rotherham and they were in the same division
Jobsworth bellends
Terrible stewarding they inticed it all
Slight touch of been pissed off at getting battered I think..
Acting like standing makes you some sort of super hooligan 🤣
i remember man utd fans battering bradford srewards
v stewerds shit vem selves
it was so funny
So you're not allowed to stand up and celebrate at a football match? A lot to celebrate when you're four nil up away.
Five!
the police are after trouble
Stay seated carnt beat the old days
Who the fuck sits down at football games anyway?
Stewards cause 99% of grief
UTB!
2:18 wtf!?
The stadium is empty

Bradford stewards are wankers the worst in lg 2 . Always have problems there.
