Re: Everton fans in home end
Incredibly naive from the club to have that arrangement. It just shows their lack of knowledge of how idiotic some fans can be with a drink (or worse) in them. It doesn't make it right, but that's the reality.Leisure wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2023 11:04 amJimmy McIlroy Lounge (North Stand) hospitality - What's included?

naive maybe, but only what happens at other clubs.
wasnt it only last seasons that Burnley fans were buying hospitality tickets at ewood?

That’s the same as other clubs so fair enough.
The club knows who they are, they have their credit card details, they know where they were sitting, they will have their addresses, there’s CCTV cameras on them, so if the club had any desire to sort this then it would be very straightforward.

Re: Everton fans in home end
There were Burnley fans in the hospitality in the Jack Walker stand where they were seated in the main stand, similar to JHU which caused trouble. Know a couple of posters on here were in that section.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2023 11:47 amThe difference being that the hospitality area used at Ewood is for away fans only

Well done to your daughter and others who’ve complained. Needs a firm stance by fans that this type of thing is not acceptable and won’t be tolerated.SalisburyClaret wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2023 12:02 pmMy daughter phoned to club to complain this morning, apparently they’ve been inundated with calls and emails
Russell Ball must surely be close to being potted now?
- Totally misreads the room on the standing situation in the longside lower when the club have dallied on safe standing and it’s clearly tolerated in other parts of the ground
- Screws up the catering even more than it was before
- Big drummer OG
- Then starts to sell flags that never seemed to make it on to the ground and didn’t come with poles as far as I could tell
- Risks fans safety by flogging tickets to away fans in the home end, annoying loyal fans in the process. Anyone in that block needs a big club credit as compensation for those ugly scenes.
- No sign of progress on any of the above topics.

Re: Everton fans in home end
There were….I was one of them having received a corporate invite. We effectively had a whole table of Clarets but we kept a low profile ..especially once we were out in the stand. There was some trouble when one Burnley fan (not in our group) went up when Benson scored but stewards were there after about a minute or so and he was then removed.Loyalclaret wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2023 12:06 pmThere were Burnley fans in the hospitality in the Jack Walker stand where they were seated in the main stand, similar to JHU which caused trouble.

At least it's not being overlooked, which is a start, I suppose. We'll find out if lessons have been learned soon enough.
By the way, in what way was Peter Reid 'being a knob' celebrating their goals, bantering, or aggressive goading?

Re: Everton fans in home end
Have no real issue with well behaved fans sat in corporate areas (not home stands as seems to be the case here). Fans that celebrate and obviously support the opposing team should be immediately removed, as it sounds was the case here so fair play to Rovers for policing that swiftly.Stalbansclaret wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2023 12:36 pmThere were….I was one of them having received a corporate invite.

The Liverpool tickets that are back on sale now need 50 loyalty points to purchase.
So the club have changed things for normal tickets.

Think not was me that called him that. I read he called a Burnley fan a ****ing something.

Re: Everton fans in home end
The club have to shoulder the blame if they are knowingly selling home stand tickets and reselling the seats of season ticket holders who can't attend, to away supporters.
It's inviting security problems.

I know I wouldn’t and I know my boys would be ****ing it if that were going on in front of them.
Re: Everton fans in home end
Liars might be a bit strong, but stories on the Internet are not exactly to be taken as gospel
People will have different accounts of what actually went on and what constitutes as ugly.
One person's a lad got asked to leave,

The first half was that miserable I can assure you that most of the JML were watching the trouble unfold instead of watching the actual match. More than a few punches thrown. It's certainly not something I'd want to be in the middle of.

Which is exactly why it is completely wrong of the club to expose season ticket holders and loyal clarets to that kind of behaviour.
There’s simply no excuse for this and I’d like to know how Russell Ball or Alan Pace would feel if they’d bought season tickets (or even just a ticket - keeping in mind there’ll presumably have been some clarets that paid £120 for corporate to witness it) and taken their kids only to have to witness that.

Re: Everton fans in home end
Will add while I’m ranting that the club clearly knew Everton fans were discussing the purchase of tickets in the home end. They issued a statement about it being a ‘sell out’ - it clearly wasn’t as tickets had been released. So they knew they were buying them and did what about it?
Re: Everton fans in home end
There was a gobby scouser in block 4 of the BLS, stood up and arguing with an elderly woman, fair play to the stewards who removed him.

Re: Everton fans in home end
Better communications from the club on this is whats been missing. They should have made it very clear in the summer that they would be sitting hospitality customers in that block and that this might include opposition fans.
If they would have done that then it would given all the Burnley fans who sit in that area, who cannot trust themselves to be in the close vicinity of opposition fans without losing control and causing trouble, to relocate to another part of the ground.
As it is we at least now know those seats are reserved from hospitality customers and that if you are sitting in that part of the ground you need to accept there will be a mixture of fans and be sensible and act like adults and enjoy the match together.
I know its not always easy as I found out myself when I let a Newcastle supporting friend of mine come round and watch the game with me in my house but I managed to keep my anger under control and despite some verbal abuse no punches were thrown.

Re: Everton fans in home end
If you are an away fan in the home section of any ground you are asking for trouble if you draw any attention to yourself whatsoever.
For those Everton fans that did, I'm surprised the police weren't straight in there, it is not the job of stewards to intervene in nonsense.
I've done it a few times in recent seasons becoming a member of Bristol City, Reading, Charlton and Rotherham to see sold out, for us, games.
I made one mistake at Charlton when we got the first, a slight get in gesture, to myself, but the steward had a quiet word and that was it.
So, yes, use subterfuge by all means but for goodness sake use your commonsense and keep it shut. You're there to watch your side not join in the home/ away shenanigans. No excuses.
I've got away with it because of my Midlands address, I'm intrigued how these Everton invaders did it.

Re: Everton fans in home end
Tbf I was in the Bob Lord and it was pretty obvious what was going on. Surely someone should have twigged and tried to get a few coppers up there, it's not like it was over quickly either. I'm assuming we have a ground safety officer?
