Any trouble at the Echo?

But as i said, if these fans are purchasing their tickets from online retailers, how will the arena security know who they are supporting? Whcih is exactly what the people wanting to cause trouble, would do if you only sold Crolla tickets in Manchester and Derry tickets in liverpool.

How would you reach out to neutrals if you only sold tickets in the fighters home town?

 

I know what you are saying mate. Obviously that is out of control but the tickets given to the boxers to sell should be separate and segregated defo. That would stop alot of the trouble i'm sure.

 

the ****?

I can see your point but all of the problems on saturday night wouldn't have happened if all the crolla fans were in one area and had a police presence separating them from everyone else.

 

Swear mate, absolutely angin people. Thats normal to them

 

Thats relying on a lot of fans supporting their boxer to declare it somewhere, whats to stop them saying 'we are neutral'?

 

Neutral fans wouldn't cause as many fights mate, they're less likely to be vocal.

 

No i know that, my point is, to segregater the fans, security would have to have prior declaration from the fans on whether they were neutral or not. Whats to stop idiots claiming to be neutral and how can security prove otherwise? 'Your drunk, lets hear your accent, right over there' type thing?

the people who want chew will get it somehow, segragationn is the way forward but without a high number of security personnel im not sure how you would enforce it and stop trouble due to people buying tickets for outside 'their' area

 

I'm not the one who got hit by coins or pissed on by Scousers, who's the idiot?

Bit of a tip, its not football....****s like you and the idiots who were throwing ale and coins are the tyoe of people who ruin live events for the 99% of people who know how to behave themselves. ****ing grow up

 

Its still a smaller problem and less likely to cause a big situation.

If a couple of lads pretend to be neutral and end up getting battered its their own fault.

 

Fans shouldn't have to be segregated from each other, if they treated each other with a bit of respect and common decency this wouldn't be necessary. Macky I take your point that individually you did nothing wrong in the circumstances described but it's the whole tribal mentality of going to support a fighter from your hometown loudly in another City knowing that it will ruffle the feathers of the locals. They shouldn't be throwing coins or beer at you, that's pathetic, pointless, cowardly, and just plain stupid, plus a terrible waste of over priced warm lager. People need to accept that not starting something but not walking away from it either is still contributing to the problem though. Living in London I could quite easily to choose to not walk away from numerous incidents that crop up on a weekly basis but I choose to walk away because I am a bigger person.

This culture of people getting drunk and wanting to beat other people up because they're from a different city or support a different football team or boxer is just really quite sad. It's intolerance for your fellow man, at it's best you could say it's just a mob mentality but behind it if you look deeper you could say there is something really quite sinister in that attitude. To despise someone so much that you're willing to physically harm them because they're from a different place to you or have a slightly different culture I personally find quite alarming. That's exactly that mentality that Adolf Hitler had when he murdered millions of jews and slavs and gypsies, the same mentality that Saddam Hussein had when he gassed tens of thousands of kurds, the same for Bosnia and pretty much any other genocide you can think of. It's even more odd when you think that Liverpool is only 30 miles from Manchester, even a complete moron can see that those two sets of fans have far more in common with each other than they do differences, if you remove the football team they watch and maybe the bands they favour. It's actually pretty ****ing weird when you think about it that people can be so angry about it?

There's no point in saying "it's the scousers" or "it's the football fans" it's not any one section of people in society it's just stupid, angry, intolerant people, anything else they might be is simply a side show. One of the great things about boxing is that despite the two guys in the ring trying to take each others head off, after the fight they show their respect for each other, wouldn't it be nice if the fans could do the same?

 

Your an internet warrior and i will not entertain you. 17,000 posts, you sad loser sort your life out. sat on your arm chair, laptop in hand watching boxing. living your life on ESB. Get a grip you bad muppet.

 

In other words, you know I'm right :thumbsup

Grow up

 

Hes right, I always **** in my hand and throw it at rival supporters, especially at my 10 year old sons football games.

 

Me an all the lads get together the night before a big game and stockpile **** to throw at the mancs.

Saves shitting in your hand on the terraces, which can distract you from watching the match
