I would like to see, (if it were legally possible) that within the 'Safeguarding Statement/Club and Supporters Charter, call it what you will, a list of club responsibilities to fans and a list of fans' responsibilities whilst in the ground and a statement to the fact that when in the ground, by the act of buying a ticket, fans agree to adhere to the rules and moreover agree to indemnify the club for any financial loss arising from non adherence. If this were possible the club could seek recompense from individuals for fines and this would hopefully be a huge disincentive for unsuitable behaviour.
Given the fairly recent issues of flares, followed by verbal abuse of a reserve team player, on social media, I am aghast that there wasn't a zero tolerance policy in place at the start of the season.If the club are serious about building crowds, getting new young supporters and families into the ground, they need to stamp out unwanted behaviour quickly and that should also include foul language, whoever it is directed at.Some 'supporters' need to realise quickly that just because they have been getting away with it in the past , doesn't mean it's acceptable from now on. So if someone transgresses from now on it should mean a ban ....and not for the rest of the season, but for at least 10 years.
