The reason Big Al bore the brunt is because he was 'seen' to be pointing people out.

We ALL stood up so maybe we should ALL have been thrown out. The disappointing aspect of it was that the ejected were removed whilst downstairs at half time rather than being made an example of by being carted out of the crowd.

There are lessons to be learned on both sides here;
firstly we KNOW we are not allowed to stand so we shouldn't, if we get binned for it it is nobodies fault other than our own.
Secondly I thought that they could have better got the message across to us. I was stood to the left of the group and heard no steward telling us to sit down, I even thought at one point that we had done well to be allowed stand! The tannoy was very ineffective as we never stopped singing for long enough to hear it. If the entire body of stewards had come up the stand and spread out and enforced the message then we would have realised the severity of the situation and dealt with it.
