Bristol City 'incident'

[Sonic The Hedgehog]

According to Teletext, Bristol City have suspended ticket sales in their East End stand for the rest of the season following an incident against Plymouth.

I'm guessing that this involves home tickets on the other side of the big fence at the away end.

Anyone got any news on what this incident was?

City issue ticket embargo

Bristol City have suspended ticket sales for the East End stand for the final two fixtures at Ashton Gate.
The decision comes on the heels of the celebrations which followed Lee Peacock's late winner against local rivals Plymouth.

"A number of people deliberately crossed the netting, climbed the fence and gestured at the Plymouth fans," said Chairman Steve Lansdown.

"It had serious safety issues, especially if the fence had collapsed."

Lansdown is due to meet with police and safety officers to investigate the problems of fans standing up in their all-seater stand,

"Serious injury could have been caused. We cannot just sit back and let such instances pass without investigation," Lansdown added.

"It is not as if people have not been warned and such deliberate flouting of the safety rules cannot be condonned

Sure emotions are high, but you've got to questioned their judgement

CCTV will have them bang to rights, and they could well find themselves banned for next season, which will be a bitter pill to swallow as they'll be missing decent first division football for the fiirst time in years
