frankly Someone, yes Jimmy Bell fired the ball into the crowd at pace on purpose, yes Gary Roberts was out of order, whether it happens at every level or not, yes Randoplph was out of order responding to the abuse monkey chants or not, Yes I say that bouncers have no right to be in a football ground wearing black and whites, they are tantamount to incitement in the wrong situation, drunken fans should not be in a football ground Stanley fans or otherwise. We were expecting a lot of York fans and we know or should have known that they have an unruly element (see NLP or York website or even ask the police as that is what they are there for) and as for allowing, they should have been made to observe ground safety rules from the moment they got in.

I am not for one moment siding with York, their behaviour was was unacceptable. But, from the moment this game was scheduled we could have had better plans underway. The comments levelled on this forum are not necessarily to slag off the club or its officials but to point out where things are wrong that shouldn't be. We know that representatives of the club read this forum and hopefully they will take on board what we as fans think or see that just maybe they haven't, ie, the supposed bouncers taking money at the gate and whether the club know anything about it. York fans have been quick to level blame at their own undesirables but also have laughed at our ground, fans, club, stewards and matchday organisation. They have come from higher levels of football whereas we have come from a lower level and some of their criticism is unfair and unwarranted, but some is true, And they are not the first club to call comments like this. We are in the top tier of non-league football and have aspirations of going higher, we need to get our house in order and this is not looking for scapegoats or slagging off ASFC. There are lessons to be learned from saturday and I hope they are learned.
