Sme of those people could be at the games and might not feel stong enough to use official channels so voice their opinions here.
 
It will always be that way especially if a large number of people feel srongley enough about a subject.
 
not sayin people shouldnt feel strongly about the subject - quite the contrary in fact - i just want to get across that bantering about on an internet forum aint gonna get anything done about the problem
 
If there is someone on here with access to official channels then the could collate the genuine concerns and present them.
 
Lets not bother having the forum then or lets just have it for predictions & spot the ball!

I for one was cheesed off with what I saw Saturday in OUR ground, surely the management & directors will be doing the same discussing it but in their boardroom.

Fans Forum seems a perfect way for "fans" to discuss the subject!

Or you could book on the coach to Grays & we could all discuss it there......? :)
 
haha - look im jus sayin that the fans forum is comin up v soon so thers no need 2 drag the argy out on here!
 
I think the problem was the York fans. Last season we had more from Carlisle than York brought, we get more from Morecambe than York brought, the season before last we had more from Chester than York brought, more from Shrewsbury than York brought, yet we didn't have the problems like last Saturday. What does that tell you ?
 
Come on if the carry on that surfaced on Saturday is because they lost what can we expect in the CCL 2?
 
Ahhh but at the time of most of the problems they hadn't lost. In fact the pitch invasion happened when they equalised!!!

Let's just point out that it was a minority of York Fans that caused the problems and most york fans are passionate supporters of their team just like ourselves.
 
So again the minority shame the majority who came to support ther team win lose or draw. Its sad that it happens especially after the good humour I saw with the Worcester fans.
 
having just spent an hour reading the various york forums on saturdays trouble I have to make comment, we all agreed that various York idiots were idiots but,
1 Jimmy Bell was out of order belting the ball at their fans.
2 Gary Roberts was out of order inciting an already volatile crowd with his goal celebrations
3 Darren Randolph gave as good as he got, which is not helpful to the coppers and stewards trying to hold back the tide.
4 Bouncers have no right to be working within a football ground. If they must then FFS put them in some sort of stewarding jacket not black and whites. BOMBER JACKETS?
5 Many of their fans had been drinking since 11. Having been turned away from Stanley matches in the past for smelling of drink after only a few pints I cannot understand how a large quantity of fans got in.
6 As per Jase's comments earlier, why were they allowed in the aisleway. We get moved every time. Give em an inch and they'll take an aisleway
 
OMG another one siding with york fans against the club :(

1. was he? did he?

2. no he was not out of order. players do that all the time at every level.

3. i see you leave out the racist monkey chants aimed at him

4. says who? you? they are not stewards they are security and have every right to be there. they have been there all season and no one complained. you didn't complain before did you?

5. just like many of our fans. me and many others. turn away everyone you think has had a few and you will have an empty ground. we also have the sports bar open all the game

6. stewards could not move them. police in riot gear could not move them. what are you talking about "allowed"

The only people to blame are the York City fans who caused the trouble. stop looking for scapegoats. the game has gone and all you people can do is slag off the club and staff.
 
I think a lot of points york fans have made have correct but i dont think for one minute that excuses how they behaved, our problem was our ineffciency to enforce the rules of a football ground, Yorks was breaking them, in the end though its our responsibility being the home team to keep them under control and it never happend which is why it escalated as fast as it did.

When frank lashed out at a woking player he was ejected immediatly at that was in the 90th minute, would it happen at stanley?

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.
 
Learn what? Some lads stood in the walkway. Big deal.

Give it a rest. your making a big fuss about nothing. What could have been? what might have been? Duh. go to the york forum and tell them off for there part and we might have some respect for you. The officials of ASFC saw what happened on Saturday. your just making it worse by banging on about it over and over again.

Third in the league and having a laugh.
 
no-one... lets see who's having a laugh when its more serious next time and you or someone with you gets a kicking because of ineptitude
