I think Kayden has to be careful.
He can sometimes go down too easily and then something blatant happens ....... and cry wolf syndrome kicks in.

Good to hear but it's just a shame the rest of our fans weren't given the same consideration instead of being faced with the ambush from those antagonistic Mansfield 'fans'
At Luton, it may have been frustrating for some to be locked inside after the final whistle but at least everyone was kept safe until the police arrived to diisperse the trouble makers
Even if those involved hadn't attended the game, surely the stewards should have been informed what was waiting outside the stadium for our fans to come out to & acted accordingly
Simple question. Forget about the stewards - where was the police presence ?
You're right but that's a question for Mansfield to answer, at the end of the day whoever makes the decisions about crowd safety got it wrong & should be held accountable. I know of a few who will be sending complaints in, I just hope they get acted upon.
CS ( club security game,) with Police Spotters
Police are only summoned if an issue.
IF a game is deemed to be Cat A; home club pays. Lets say a "normal" match income at ASFC; the game wouldn't be worth playing; hence us being on course for 4 years with a formal police presence for League games
In the pre-match intel ASFC away don't pose an issue, so no need for a police presence.
I think you will find there were several serious issues !!!
It's not the Stanley away fans that has been the issue but some Luton and Mansfield HOME fans that can't take a defeat without behaving like morons.
Wasn't there something on another thread implying the reason Mansfield games are al ticket is nothing to do with visiting fans but to try and prevent their so-called fans getting into the away end.
There were also a lot of new young supporters that I didn't recognise.
Don't claim to know everybody but dozens of people without any colours on entered the seats with beer bottles in their hands just as the 2nd half started
We're waiting for the CCTV footage from Mansfield and Lancs police ( who did film so of the post match incidents) to see IF anybody can be recognised.

Beer bottles in their hands! 
How did that happen if there are stewards ?

The steward was poor; but was not SIA so wasn't really his remit.
When supervisors picked up on the issue people were challenged.
Easy to miss a bottle in a pocket; on the bigger games empty beer bottles are on the Clayton End.
I stress these weren't wearing any colours and think the vast majority of Stanley fans do show something connected to their club.
Most people who are "regulars" (home and away) are proud of ASFC and show this to the world

Completely false.
Since when did you have to wear a shirt of scarf to be a Stanley fan.
People don’t wear colours for a variety of reasons, not wearing them doesn’t suggest anything
Get down off your horse, DAV0.
I read it that Mr. T wasn't suggesting anything of the sort.
He was simply saying that most of the 'fans' in the away end at Mansfield that he didn't recognise weren't wearing anything that identified them with Stanley and that, in his opinion, most Stanley fans at away games do wear their 'hearts' on their sleeves, heads, or around other parts of their anatomy.

Over the years, as Stanley have risen through the leagues, our fans have always 'Self Policed' and been superb with only the rarest blips. These have been kicked off by 'imported' over officious stewards who don't know our fans...eg The Newcastle FA Cup Match a few years ago!
There is just one thing that I think our fans need to stop.....The Stupid Flares which could cost us a £20,000 fine!
Please stop this lads because we would then truly be the Perfect group of Supporting Fans to match any in the whole world.

I see loads of fans at away games that you couldn’t recognise as Stanley fans ....... other than them being in the away end and singing away.
Yes, true Twenty Eight.
On Monday our regular stewards at the approach to the Clayton End were searching those who they didn't recognise and who weren't wearing red colours as the regulars do. They waved us regulars past as they know us well and trust us. The gate was over 3,000 which was super and obviously the extra 1500 Stanley fans probably don't have red scarves, hats etc but it is just great to have them here boosting our usual superb support.
IMHO our Stewards got it just right on Monday.
I’ve been home and away with the club for two season - three with this one - and the club and it’s supporters are a credit.
However and please accept this from a Yorshireman with tongue firmly in cheek. Yesterday I ordered a meat and potato pie and a Bovril at the Clayton End. The lad behind the counter said sorry mate don’t know what you mean. I repeated the order much to the queues amusement.
Then he says what’s bovril we don’t sell it ?
I point to the sign that said Bovril £1. More laughs from the queue. He’s then told by a colleague what bovril is.
He passed me my pie then my bovril then says
Do you want sugar in it mate ?
Now you tell me that wasn’t taking the @@@@@ out of my accent ?
Happy days.

Reminds me of an old Jasper Carrot routine about him and his mate inadvertently going in on the Stretford End when United were playing 'Burmingham Citoy'.
They survived the first half without drawing attention to themselves, even when City scored, only for his mate to shout across the half-time queue at the kiosk "Heh, Karret, they've got no keffin' Bovril"
