Surprise surprise hooligans sticking together Not at all just giving an honest opinion, some things did get a little out of hand today but as for naming people directly without any proper proof is a joke. Some people occasionally get excited when we score. In my opinion I just think our vocal blocks are just in the wrong place and going to attract this type of thing whenever we play a large away following. This is the clubs fault for not organising it after the move. An ideal situation would have been our vocal support came from the South stand or blocks 16 and 17 and 18 with 19 only used as an overspill when all other tickets are sold just like block 1 and 2 were. The club never thought is through enough for the fans hence why this thing happens everytime there is a large following. Its STFC's fault for idiots wading into the away support? FFS get a grip man............when we scored I was excited about it but had no desire to run on the pitch and try to kick off...........does that qualify me for the prawn sandwich club?

Doesnt justify the behaviour no. But playing devils advocate if you were designing the ideal logistical plan for the Greenhous meadow it would look nothing like the way the club has it currently . Frustratingly wrong on so many issues and all corectable.

It kicked off. I'm not sure why, but it DID happen. Before having a go at anybody though I think it's important to hear people versions of events. There could be a million reasons why it kicked off, ranging from people just looking for a fight, to one that anyone us would be willing to fight for. From where I was sat, it just looked like an altercation that escalated, quite possibly due to people trying to break it up. The initial 'on the pitch' scenes of stupidity were caused by people I had never seen before. But people got involved later who i'm sure will look back and think 'I was wrong'. All in all though, I thought 18 and 19 gave great support today (once again).

The atmosphere round the whole ground was superb today. People who were clearly not regulars joined in with the singing and really helped to give the team a 12th man today. It was brilliant.
In blocks 18 and 19 there were a few fools, but the majority were singing and not wishing trouble. They did a brilliant job in supporting the team. I couldn't understand the fans that walked right up to the sponsor boards and were chanting at Oxford's fans?
The fan in the red jumper who was grabbed by the Stewards got what he deserved. He was boo'd and w****r was chanted at him, deservedly. He must have a screw loose as he ran straight into the Torquay fans who from my view punched him quite a lot lol.
Shame a few had to put a bad memory on a great day.

Never understood why people want to fight in the first place...casusing/getting physical injuries and upsetting other people all for the sake of too much booze and testosterone. It happens all the time in this country - football matches, nights out on the town etc... If certain people are so keen on having a rumble, grow some and join the Forces and spend some time in Helmand.

KieranSHREWS follows this football club all over the country. I'm sure there are more deserving targets for a witch-hunt. If you'd been there rather than still continuing with a petty boycott, you'd understand why. I was frankly embarrassed at times today. In general our support in blocks 18/19, as has been the case in general this season, was superb. But why some idiots who stand in that block for big games feel the need to antagonise and cause trouble amongst our own fans is beyond me. If we'd been playing a local rival, I'd have (whilst not condoning) understood why passions might have run wild and led to idiotic behaviour. But to behave like that towards the Oxford fans, who by and large had turned out to support their team in impressive numbers for a meaningless game- unbelievable. Incidentally, is anyone aware of a way of contacting the club to support their investigations? There's a particular idiot near me who was fully involved in the pitch invasions and fighting, and if I can do my bit to get him banned I'd love to help out.

Browsing the internet late at night has been a habit of mine for many years and long may it continue. I would like an answer to the above question as you have publicly challenged my integrity without good reason. Long train back was it? I feel no remorse at missing home games and am entirely satisfied with the reasons behind the decision. I await your response (or private message) accordingly.

Been said before, but had that been Vale, Hereford or even Chesterfield today with something riding on the outcome for BOTH clubs, then it could have been carnage. The clonk who ran directly to the away section where about a dozen Oxford fans were waiting by the advertising boards and waded into them definitely should be banned from our ground. It appears from what some have said he was merely ejected from the stadium (after the game had ended). Magic. Top zero tolerance that if true.

Not sure you are qualified to pass too many comments on what went on if you weren't there to witness. Along with a few others he made a prat of himself, I'm sure he regrets it now but you can't blames some posters for having a dig at him when he admits it and seems pretty blasé as well. So why do you choose not to attend, i'm not being provocative, I genuinely don't know? I guess from your posts that you feel quite passionately about the club so at fairly exciting times, like now, why don't you bite the bullet, swallow your pride and get down to the GM?

Today was my partners first game. She was totally horrified with what was going on. And she wont be coming back ever, so thanks to the complete w****rs who spoilt the day, you only fight in gangs because on your own your nothing. Get a life and a grip, will the club offer life bans out to these idiots who run on the pitch, i doubt it, and i wish they wouldnt make idiol threats saying if ANYBODY runs on the pitch there will be no lap of honor. Complete and utter tossers. And that includes that timmy mallett from the south stand. rant over

Agree on your comment on Timmy Tool from the South Stand who several times started chanting 'loyal supporters' at the South Stand. Very clever.

I know for 99% if town fans with a brain cell it is hard luck but would certainly add some credibility to the club. In regards to your misses can I as someone who didn't run on the pitch offer an apology on behalf of those mindless idiots (some stewards included) who made today such an awful experience.

I was talking to a bloke in the paper shop this morning who went with his son for the first time yesterday and after experiencing what went on they will not be back. These idiots are going to be costing the club a fair few quid and the sooner the board realise this and act the better.

I agree with most people on here. Why that idiot in the red top wasn't arrested I do not know. He was just chucked out to continue the fights outside The amount of people saying that they will not be coming back to watch the Town here is worrying. They are potential future supporters, there were a lot of kids I presume were going to their first match who got frightened and yet they are forced away thanks to some mindless idiotic to$$ers!

It annoys me too about some A*******s in the South Stand who just sat where they wanted and people with the correct seat numbers were then verbally abused for trying to sit in their designated seat. Those arses must feel really clever threatening a bunch of women with a young girl.

what i dont understand is the following and would love that dick head in the south stand to come on here and answer the following, also the club.
1) Why people are singing loyal supporters and giving abuse to the people who have gone to watch i dont understand, surly if there first timers we want them to go back not put them off, more supporters more money.Also im sure they started some where how would they like it if that happened on there first trip to the town. Oh yeh and also giving out incorrect scores all the time, what sort of fan does that.
2) Why the stewards just let him continue to give abuse and stand all game. Gets abit boring after a while.
3) Will the club be giving life bans out and follow in wycombe's foot steps as they banned 5 supporters, As it says it is ILLEGAL to enter the playing field.
4) on the whole i thought oxford were a great bunch and actually walked back with a bunch of them as i thought it might be safer , if i was getting abuse off some silly 30-40 year old i wouldn't think twice.
I await the response but i wont hold my breath. i could put alot more but haven't got the time.

Those arses must feel really clever threatening a bunch of women with a young girl. We had the same problem but Block 8 is sit where you like, just like 19. The back 2 rows are near enough all season ticket holders which sit in the same seat at every match, and when somebody tried to move a few of us out of our seats, looking at their tickets, there were a few arguments. If they were real supporters they would know that it is sit where you like, but partly STFC is to blame for supposedly not telling them and printing out seat numbers on the tickets!

I left my seat at half time and popped down the front to check on members of my family who had tickets for Block 18. They seemed o.k. and came down from their seats to have a chat with me. While having a chat i saw a full bottle of Coke hurled from somewhere in Block 19 sail through the air and luckily fall , harmlessly, between seats. The bottle missed a young father and his son. What got me was that the bottle was thrown high into the air into a crowded area. If it had hit someone then serious injury would have resulted, or worse. What kind of thoughtless bell- end does this, with no regard for the outcome. The other thing that annoyed me was that, if you invade the pitch, then you are committing an offence which should be dealt with by a Magistrates Court. Bizzylad was brought before Magistrates at Crewe for his small transgression. This lad was obviously out to make trouble, but i saw him marched to the gates and just thrown out. Why not detain him, get him charged, and hopefully served with a ban. The good thing about the game was that 99% of the fans behaved in a grown up and sensible manner. BUT, i would happily pay a small increase on my season ticket if it meant the games would be "POLICED" at a reasonable level. A big question is, if we employ so many "stewards" who have undergone training in crowd control or whatever, how come we allow fans into the ground who may cause trouble, who are either Drunk, or Stoned out of their neanderthal little minds. And you don't need training to spot who they are either. I know one of the coppers who is in the control room (not that there was much of that today) and he said the police get really frustrated with the stewards and bouncers but are under orders not to get involved. He even said he made an arrest yesterday and will get a bollocking for it - ridiculous state of affairs.

I think unallocated seating could be the cause of the problem especially when there's a full house.... More people than seats in block 19 caused congestion on the steps. Stewards who asked people to move were abused so gave up due to lack of support! Where can you move people to in a full stadium and what can a couple of stewards do on their own?
It's too easy to buy a ticket anywhere in the west stand and then take up a position in block 19 leaving no room for those who have a ticket in block 19 who then understandably refuse to move to another block, a disaster waiting to happen (well trouble) caused a problem yesterday and against Accrington
